Help with IF Script

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]if (abort eq “95743G29V8X0”) {

stop;

}

I have Flash MX 2004 Pro. I wanna make it so I can press the enter key on the keyboard when I type the code in to make my countdown stop.[/size][/font]

erm to run an action when your enter key is pressed, have this code (best on an onEnterFrame)

if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){
    //your actions here
}

That didn’t work. Heres what I did- if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))
//if(abort eq “95743G29V8X0”) }
stop();
I put that in but it didn’t work.

:S
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
//if(abort eq “95743G29V8X0”)
stop();
}

You missed the opening bracket, and whats abort eq “95743G29V8X0”??
And I assume you want the stop(); within the conditin

Heres what I did I made a timer that counts down from 12, and I put the script if(abort eq “95743G29V8X0”) and the 95743G29V8X0 is an abort code its supposed to make the timer stop counting but it doesn’t.

if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){
    if (abort eq "95743G29V8X0") {
        stop()
    }
}

sorry, i guessed you would understand that

//

means its a comment and as such flash ignores these lines of code… the above should work… assuming your stopping an animation on the _root level and your original IF statement will equate to true…

I still don’t get it? Help me? Nothing works. It still won’t stop.

I din’t quite understood what your timer whould be?
if ist’s a variable displayed with the help of getTimer(); you won’t be able to stop it with a stop(); action. That is for movieclips.

If you by timer were reffering to a movieclip then put this code on it

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
                         if (abort eq "whatever") {
                         stop();
                        }
	} 
}

Or try using a listener


asdfg = new Object();
asdfg.onKeyDown = function() {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
		trace("You pressed enter.");
                           if (abort eq "thatthingcode") {
                           stop();\\ i guess
                           }
	}
};
Key.addListener(asdfg);
