hey all,

i have the following code which works

```auto
_root.admin._alpha = 0;
var oKeyListener:Object = new Object();
oKeyListener.onKeyDown = function():Void {
    if(Key.getAscii() == new String("login").charCodeAt(0)) {
        trace("login was typed");
        _root.admin._alpha = 100;
    } else {
        _root.admin._alpha = 0;
    }
};
Key.addListener(oKeyListener);

```

but it only works when i press the “l” key instead i want it to work after i type my whole “login” word in then show the admin panel…any thoughts on how to get this working from here??

Cheers Peeps 🙂

EDIT: Also when i press another key my popup disappears how would you get that to stay there…thanks all in advance for any help!
