Hi im just wondering whether its possible to have a inputbox where you have to enter a certain word for it to take you where you want to access - a bit like a username and password using if, else commands. The difficulty with this thought is that i want the words that are needed to be entered in an external .txt file.

Sorry if i havent explained it very well but i hope u get the jist of things.

Thanks in advance, Chris

Do u want a list of usernames and passwords? Should a specific username be redirected to a specific page, etc. Please provide more info. 🙂

well i want a username and password fields in my flash movie.

Yes there will be multiple usernames and passwords however the usernames and passwords must match - see my problem here?

Different usernames and passwords will load a different frame in a flash movie rather than a different url.

sorry for not providing enough information, chris

Well, here’s how I’d do it:

1. Make a text file with this info:

&u1=username1  
&p1=password1  
&u2=username2  
&p2=password2  
…

and so on. Then in your movie, set it up to process and then when you do, load the variables from the text file, and then do some if logic:

if(password.text == p1 && username.text == u1) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene\_for\_user\_1”, 1);  
}

else if(password.text == p2 && username.text == u2) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene\_for\_user\_2”, 1);  
}

and so on. Double-check my syntax though because I’m not positive that password.text, etc. is correct. That’s the basic logic though (I think…)

Good luck.
