I know it’s a very simple problem, but I is confused -\_-

my input box is called mySearch, and the code is and a button to click on to activate search. There is also an array called searchList

```auto

on (release) {
  var mySeek = mySearch.text;
    for( ii = 0; ii<searchList.length; ii++) {
      if (mySeek = searchList[ii]) {
        trace("Found it!");
      }
    }
}

```

I tried doing mySeek = mySeek.toLowerCase; after var mySeek = mySearch.text;

OOPS!! I looked at the help file again and realized I forgot the () after toLowerCase… that’s why it kept erroring about a function… anyway, I how do I delete a thread such as this?
