I am hoping that someone can explian why this code doesn’t work.  
var a = myNum.text;  
var b = myNumb.text;  
var c = myAnswer.text;  
answer\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
if (c=a+b) {  
trace(“ok”);  
}  
};  
All the text boxes are set to input and I get no errors but no message in the output box  
What I am trying to do is to be able to input numbers and then press a button to check your answer.
