I am trying to make the correct answer appear after the “check” button is clicked again after the number of failed attempts.

when you click on the “check” button for the first time, the “wrong. try again” msg appear.

then you type the wrong answer and hit the “check” button for the second time, the “wrong. try again” msg appears again

Finally, if you type the wrong answer for the third time and hit the “check” button, the correct answer will appear.

can u help me with me? thanks!

attached is my fla file.
