Ok, here’s what I’m trying to do  
Text box input var= data1  
Text box input var=data2

on (release) {  
if (data1==“flash”) {  
gotoAndPlay(“right”);  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(“wrong”);  
}  
}

how do I get flash to check for both data1, and data2?

</div>

```auto

on (release) {
  if (data1=="flash"&&data2=="somethingElse") {
    gotoAndPlay("right");
  } else {
    gotoAndPlay("wrong");
  }
}

```

a couple others that might be useful

&& “check to see if both are true”  
|| “check to see if either is true”  
!= “check to see if this is not equal to”  
! “check to see if this is boolian ‘false’”
