You need to have that variable accessible along the timeline so that it is available in any frame that it is needed. When you get to the frame where the textfield is you have code in that frame to assign it to the textfield's 'text' proiperty.

Thanks for your swift response.

That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this

timer = 0;

countup = function(){

timer++;

}

countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);

If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.

I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.

Hope this makes sense.

You do not want to re-instantiate the variable in any other frame, just be sure to have the frame that code is in extended to whatever other frame it needs to be available to. You extend the frame's code to other frames the same way you would have anything else extend for numerous frames.
