This has been bugging me for long enough, I will at last seek an answer from the pros.

If you have a variable in one [view], and a button or other function in another, can you change the variable in the first [view] from the second?

An example of what I mean: let's say in the main view called "mainview" I have a text called "text". From a button in "mainview" I could call "text.value='this is the new text';". But from a different view, called "secondview", I can't just use that same code.

I assume there is a simple code to get a handle to the first view, but I am not familiar with the syntax. Thanks,
