I know + would add more thingies… but is there anything that would act like a “/”? Like maybe “a / b” would act either a or b.
Can anyone help =)

That is a good question…I think…I don’t really understand what you mean. Do you mean can you divide things? Or do you mean can you make flash choose between a or b?
Try and specify more 🙂

he means “a” OR “b” …I think 🙂
welll… you can make an array with a and b and choose randomly from the array…

I kinda meant if the person says a or b in a text box, e.g. him saying yes or no would result in whatever… heh hope this clears it 🙂

I think what you want is something like this…

That link shows how to create a password field, but you can use it for other things too of course. It uses simple If/Else statements.
I hope this helps 🙂

Have that one… I was trying to make a cheap database… it would load a txt file heh.
But then again they can just go to the txt file.
Is there another way to store username and passes inside the flash?
