I have a flash animation and a text box in the flash. I want it so that when the user enters the correct word the flash animation starts playing. Basically all i need to know is how to make flash check if the textbox has for example “test” in it and if it does act correctly… if not ignore it. I dont want the user to have to click a button just as soon as they enter it :rambo:

k… it’s as simple as:

```auto
on(release) {
if (myVariable == "sesame") {
play();
// any other actions go here
}
}

```

myVariable is the variable name for the textfield 🙂

The same way as ahmed said

some steps  
1\> make text box and check input box  
2\> name a variable for that box  
3\> some actionscript that checks if the input is same as you assigned and last  
4\> the play action that will make the animation play the text matches.

hint: use the if …else loop
