FLASH: How do you check the value of a text field?

[Bob Sabiston]

Hello, I am making my first flash movie and I want to be able to do

something based on the value that someone types into a text field.

Specifically, I want to have a "password" field and then do an "eq" test to

check for the value I want.  I'm not too concerned about it being totally

secure, I know that that is not a secure way to do a password.  I just want

to know why my attempts to set it up the easy way don't work.  Flash

doesn't ever seem to be passing the "eq"

test.  Like, I do a "show variables" command when I test the movie, and the

variable is set to the value I check for, but the test itself fails.

Any suggestions?
