if someone would look, Im just trying to put a “password” protection on a part of a site. I created a button, and attached that button with a script:

on (release) { if (\_root.password.value eq tommygun) { getURL(“secure.html”); } }

I want when they input the correct password, that they will be directed to the site. (there is more, but I just need to figure this out). any help would be most appreciated…and if someone has a much better way to do this…please tell…😃

This should solve your problem.

on(release){  
if(textField.text == correctPass){  
Show status.text = “Password confirmed”;  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“beginSite”);  
//or you can use this  
getUrl(“secure.html”);  
}else{  
Show status.text = “Error, try again!”;  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“startAgain”);  
}  
}  
Hope this helps.
