there are a few ways of doing this depending on what IDE you are using:
Binding (if using Flex and an mx component)
manually updating the value via an event handler
depending on the context, you could use a setter function to set the value of the other box when changing the value of the integer. You should be careful with this one cuz it could be bad OOP (dep. on the context).

second suggestion by jwopitz

var defaultText:String =
"Enter Text Here";

var title:TextField;
var t1:TextField;



title = new TextField();

title.width = 350;
title.height = 25;
title.border = true;
title.background = true;
title.selectable = false;
addChild(title);


t1 = new TextField();
t1.text = defaultText;
t1.width = 150;
t1.height = 30;
t1.x = 100;
t1.y = 150;
t1.border = true;
t1.background = true;
t1.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
addChild(t1);



t1.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeListener);


t1.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, FocusInListener);




function changeListener(e:Event):void {
title.text=t1.text
;
}

function FocusInListener(e:FocusEvent):void {

if (t1.text ==defaultText) {

t1.text = "";

}
}
