Dear All

I have been working on a quiz game. The first questions was a calculation with the correct answer 5 or five. I have created an input text box with a variable ans1. Instance for the input text is Q1Input. I made a button with the following button script:

on (release, keypress “\<Enter\>”) {  
if (ans1 eq “5” or ans1 eq “five”) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
} else {  
gotoAndStop(3);  
}  
}

Typing a correct answer gets me to a wrong message (frame 3) not correct (frame 2). When I trace(ans1) it seems that the input text box is passing teh formatting data with the value thus giveing me WRONG.

Any ideas??:deranged:
