Hi,

In the following code the if statement work where as else doesnt take Should I need to add text input for displaying else message.

If a user type small caps it should show the message which is in the else statement but even if i type the small caps its showing the message of if statement.

on (press) {  
var texta = name.text;  
if (texta.restrict = “A-Z 0-9”) {  
message.text = “sorry! caps and num not allowed”;  
cirlcea.gotoAndStop(“red”);  
}  
else {

message.text = “ur name is” +texta;  
cirlcea.gotoAndStop(“green”);  
}

}

Regards
