Hi,

Im doing a movie that contains an input box what i’m looking for is a way of adding an answer button that will only reveal the answer if there is and input in the input box?

Thanks

Spence

Put this on your button:

```php
 
on (release) {
	 if (inputBox == "Answer" or inputBox == "answer") {
		 //if answer is right
		 text = "CORRECT!";		
	 } else if (inputBox == "") {
		 //if there's no input
		 text = "Please enter an answer"
	 } else {
		 //if answer is wrong
		 text = "Wrong!"
	 }
}
 

```

hope it helps…and hope it’s right too
