hi,

Im having a bit of bother with this one. I have a flash file which loads in vars from director. It then adds the values to a graph. The amounts from the string are inputed into text fields. the fields are named energy, waste etc. I want a textfield to output whichever sections that are over 5 saying "well done, you have excelled in water, energy… I have got this working but am stuck on this bit: I am wanting to add an “and” before the last item, so it outputs as “well done you have excelled in water, waste and energy”. Also if only one item is over 5 it wont add the “and”. This probably doesnt make any sense, heres my code anyhow:

```auto

var summary_results = "2000,6,3,10,8,6";

var txtFields:Array = [Total,Energy,Waste,Water,Food,Transport];
var excelledItems:Array = []; 

var theValues:Array = summary_results.split(",");

for(var i=1;i<theValues.length;i++){     
    theValues* = Number(theValues*);     
    txtFields*.text = theValues*;
    
    if(theValues* >= 5){
        theValues* == txtFields*;
        excelledItems.push(" " + txtFields*._name);
        if(excelledItems.length > 1){
            //add an "and" somehow....
        }
    }
}

//well done text
wellDone = "Well Done! 

You have excelled in"+ excelledItems +". You know these Eco topics well!";

stop();

```
