Hi  
Could someone tellme why the following script is not working?

on (release) {  
var set1 = [34, 19, -7];  
var set2 = [39, 34, -3];  
var init = “set1[”+0+"]";  
var cond = “set1[”+1+"]";  
for (i=init; i\>cond; i–) {  
if (i == \_root.A.Age) {  
//\_root.A.Age is the input field on the main stage of the movie  
trace(“match”);  
} else {  
trace(“no match”);  
}  
}  
}

thanks  
Then

</div>

var init = “set1[”+0+"]";  
var cond = “set1[”+1+"]";

should read:

var init = set1[0];  
var cond = set1[1];

also your for loop is a little strange:

for (i=init; i\>cond; i–)

you’re checking if i will be greater than cond, but then your decrementing i each time. if i is higher than cond to start with, it won’t even run once, if it’s less, it’ll run indefinitely.
