Re: FLASH: evaluating text in a text field

[Torbj�rn Caspersen]

It almost works,

if ("text field"="")

should be

if ("text field"eq"")


all if-statements on string variables use eq for =, ne for <>


silly of Flash not to warn us about that mistake, it's an easy one to

make.





What I want to happen is that flash detects if the user has enter text or

numbers in the text field. If there is something go to URL if not got to

and

play frame 50.


So in theory the action should be:


On (Press)

if ("text field"="")

go to and play (50)

Else

Get URL ("search.asp")

End if

End on


But this doesn't seem to work

Any ideas, I'm just getting into this part of flash so some help would be

much appreciated.

Thanks

Cath
