Passing Variables to Scaleform

[Sythenz]

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue passing variables from my PlayerController to my Scaleform Dynamic Text Field.
So far I have a kismet node passing a string variable to my PlayerController, and by logging it I can find that the variable works.

What I am finding difficult is referencing my PlayerController in my GFxHUD which extends GFxMoviePlayer script.
So far I have tried:

      local HWPlayerController PC;
      PC = HWPlayerController(GetWorldInfo().GetALocalPlayerController());

And then trying to set the text field to the variable GameObjective.

ObjectiveTF.SetString("text", (PC.GameObjective));

I end up with an error:
Bad or missing Expression for token: HWPlayerController, in '='

If anyone could help me out, I can't seem to get this to run.
All I need to do is pass a string variable to my Scaleform HUD.

PS: The game is singleplayer, does not require ReplicationInfo - hence the PlayerController pass.

*shamless bump* please, need help with this.

I unfortunately am not seeing enough code to help you.
Can you post the class please.
Anything in your log?

Using GetPC() should work fine in this case; as for the error this may be because you're using the class name to access a method or variable instead of the reference, you may also want to log the GFxObject reference - just to make sure it doesn't return none, same goes for the PlayerController one.

I can't compile this either; don't believe GetWorldInfo() exists within GFxMoviePlayer, dude. As Reinrag just suggested, use the native function GetPC().

Not entirely sure what the problem was the last time I used GetPC() but it seems to be working now,
I do have a second issue that requires some attention.

I'm trying to use ActionscriptVoid to trigger some animations on the HUD. I understand that ActionscriptVoid needs to be in a function within my GFxMoviePlayer file,
however how do I call a function within GFxMoviePlayer?
