Ok this is probably a simple question but i cant seem to get a simple if/then statment working with an input text. Here is my AS

[AS]  
on (release) {  
password = inputName  
if (password == “test”) {  
getURL(“[http://msn.com](http://msn.com)”,"\_parent");  
} else {  
getURL(“[http://ign.com](http://ign.com)”,"\_parent");  
}  
}  
[/AS]

For some reason when i type in test in the movieclip inputName it still sends me to [ign.com](http://ign.com). Everything is in the same frame and i just cant get it working. Thanks for your help.
