I want to create a movie with an input text box. I want it so people type an amount in the box and depending on what number in the box is, upon clicking a button the movie goes to a certian frame.

The instance name of my text box is

inputAmount

I want it so that when I type in a number that is less than five it goes to and plays frame 52… if it is greater than five it goes to frame 2 and plays.

What should the code be and where should it be placed (ie if I define a variable should that be on the button or in the actions layer and what about the rest of it (if then???) Should that be on the button??)
