Change UI button text from InputField on another scene

Hi. I am trying to change the text on a button from the text entered on an InputField in another scene. Here's the code I am using, calling createAccountName() when a button in the same scene with InputField is clicked:

Code (CSharp):

1.  public class CreateNewAccount : MonoBehaviour {
2.          
3.                  public InputField enterAccountName;
4.                  public GameObject aObject;
5.                  public Button aButton;
6.  
7.                 public void createAccountName () {
8.                        aObject = GameObject.Find ("User2"); //The button name is User2
9.                        aButton = aObject.GetComponent<Button> ();
10.                        aButton.GetComponentInChildren<Text>().text = enterAccountName.textComponent.text;
11.                 }
12. }

I get a Exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

 

Could be many things. What line does it tell you the error is at?

Also use the .text not the .textcimponent.text

 

I get the exception in line 9, aButton = aObject.GetComponent<Button> (); , I suspect that the button is not an object, but cannot think of a way to get it. The ."textcimponent.text" is working when I test it with a button in the same scene, the problem is how to access a button in another scene. Thanks.
