easy-dumping contents of a var into textbox

[JonnyPT]

in a function in my first scene, data is loaded into the var "T1Q1" many frames later I have a button that i want to load the value of that into a textbox named "question"
i have tried

on(release){
    question = T1Q1;
}

on(release){
    question = var T1Q1;
}

on(release){
    question = this["T1Q1"];
}

if i put something like

on(release){
    question = "text";
}

the text displays, so i know the text box is correct
what do i need to do?

i loaded the var like this

var T1Q1 = "some question?";

i don't even know if that might be the problem

might be overkill but if you use

_global.T1Q1 = whatever

in first frame then its available everywhere

probably the problem is with scenes

scenes = the work of satan


never use them ....they are only an authoring fiction and do not exist in the published movie
