If Variable == number action should happen

In the attached CS4 file I have attempted to have a button evaluate whether a variable (textbox) is equal to a number. If so, I want another textbox to say “correct” or trace “correct” either way. However, it doesnt appear to be evaluating the variable. I receive the “correct” trace everytime the button is released. I would greatly appreciate anyone looking at this and giving me some advice.

I tried to upload the file but it is too large. The code in the button is as follows:

on (release){
if (phoneNumber == “911”);
trace (“correct”);
}
I have a textbox entitled numbers, in which the user presses buttons and the number is added to the textbox. The same textbox has a variable assigned to it entitled phonenumber. When the talk button is pressed the code above should check the variable to see if it == 911. However no matter what I enter into the textbox, the trace always pops up and says correct.

Please advise.
