Yeh using if statements you can get whatever you want to happen depending on the input in the field:

Make a dynamic text box.

Then give it the variable **pwInput**.

On the button, have this code:

```auto
on (release) {
    if (pwInput == "PasswordHere") {
       gotoAndPlay("2");
    } else {
       gotoAndPlay("3");
    }
}

```

**Explanation:**

When the button is pressed, it checks if _pwInput_ is equal to whatever password you want (replace with PasswordHere).

If it _is_ the password you put, it goes to and plays frame 2, you can make it stop at this frame, or have it go somewhere else that shows that access is granted.

If the password is _not_ what you put, it goes to and plays frame 3, you can make it stop at this frame, or have it go somewhere else that shows that access was denied.

You can change everything to your liking. This is the same thing as what Insomniac provided, just shorter :P.

Hope it helps,  
Sharif.

Ah I see. So you need 2 pieces of texts that cannot be deleted or edited.

I’m trying to think of a way but they just keep messing up…

You can’t have the texts loaded because the user could just delete the text box and the actionscript or ANY actionscript to take it off…hmm.

Right I see what you mean. I don’t think there is any way of password protecting layers in the .fla file itself. The only thing I can think of is if you externally load the two bits of text you want - then they would be able to change those bits of text, but nothing else. If that is a viable solution, take a look at this: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm)

</div>

If you externally load it, the actionscript to load it can be deleted so I doubt theres any solution unless it’s some type of plugin or component but still theres a chance of no possibility.

A good idea might be to make an MC that will load the text into a certain x and y position and you can use actionscript to format color and stuff…

And then it’s good to make this MC SUPER SMALL and then hide it somewhere really really far away from the canvas. You can even hide it away from the outer canvas. Then you can change it’s library name to some type of thing so the user thinks it’s only something that has to do with the rest and what he can edit ;).

Make sure you find out some tutorials on how to use the CreateTextField function. And also how to create links using actionscript.

Oh and about the x and y - when you use the createTextField function, the x and y goes in the parenthesis, example:

createTextField (“PrdByTxt”, 100, 20)…Stuff like that. Just learn how to use that :).
