[AS3] Variable paths?

[iv00w]

Hey

In my main stage (_root ?) I'm handling a few variables. Now I have a movieclip with the following code:

varText.text = root.varNumber;

varNumber is properly defined and given a value in the main stage and varText is a text field inside my movieclip, which has the instance name of 'panel1'.

Anyway, I keep getting the error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property varNumber through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

What is the proper path to it? The layout is:
Stage -> Movieclip

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure its

vartext.text = MovieClip(root).panel1

I haven't use text fields yet so it might be wrong.

It works perfectly now, thanks a lot!
