Hi, thanks for answering me lately it really helped!  
But I would like once angain for your assistance:

1

I created a flash movie with two textfields and a button.  
the first textfield as for variable name “input” it is an INPUT  
textfield and accept only numerical characters. The second one is  
called “output”,it is a Dynamic textfield that accepts all characters  
and it’s not selectable.  
In the button I have the following actions:  
on (release, keyPress “\<Enter\>”) {  
if (input \>=5 and input \<=19) {  
output = “LOW SYSTEM CAPABILITIES : Your PC does not meet the standard of a " Multimedia PC " PLEASE RUN THE NON ANIMATED VERSION OF THIS TOUR”;  
} else if (input \>= “20” and input \<= “30”) {  
output = “Not bad, your PC SHOULD run this application fine”;  
} else if (input \> “30”) {  
output = “Good, your PC Has What it takes to run this application”;  
} else if (input eq “”) {  
output = “Please Type a numerical value”;  
} else {  
output = "DANGEROUSLY LOW SYSTEM CAPABILITIES, You cannot run this application, Run the “quick contact " Mode to get the minimun set of information IN TEXT MODE.”;  
}  
}  
Here is what I expected from that movie:  
If I don’t type nothing = Please Type a numerical value  
If I type a number from 0 to 4 = DANGEROUSLY LOW SYSTEM CAPABILITIES bla bla…  
If I type a number from 5 to 19 = LOW SYSTEM CAPABILITIES bla bla…  
If I type a number from 20 to 30 = Not bad bla bla  
If I type a number from 30 to X = Good bla bla  
At first look I tought it worked but then I realized that flash only takes the  
the first charcacter into consideration.("4"00)instead of (400)  
Exp : “4” it will say “GOOD” instead of “Dangerouly low” and if I type “100” it will say “Dangerously low” in place of “GOOD”  
Could you please help me that movie, What’s wrong with it?  
I will really appreciate any help.

Is there a way (anyway) to make flash (5 or MX) write an external file (like a license agreement or ANYTHING (jpg,bmp,txt,as)) somewhere  
and to check if it exits once you run the movie again.  
Thanks, Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to make a simple countdown in flash (I say simple Because I found a lot on the net, but they were so complex that I could not understand their “Action Script”) that can count from X secs (wich will variable or User-defined) to 0  
(Example : 3600 or 60 to 0) and that can do a specific Action when the countdown ends or reachs o.

I asked you because your first aswer was quick, simple and GOOD

Thanks Thanks and Thanks again. I will REALLY appreciate any help. These are very important.
