Can anyone please tell me why when I use the following actionscript
[COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’]var[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’] characters:[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=‘Courier New’]Array[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’] = new [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=‘Courier New’]String[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’]([/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=red][FONT=‘Courier New’]“kirupa”[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’]).[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=‘Courier New’]split[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’]([/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=red][FONT=‘Courier New’]""[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’]);

[COLOR=black][FONT=‘Courier New’][FONT=Verdana]My [FONT=Courier New]txt.[COLOR=blue]onChanged[/COLOR][/FONT] function stops working? Because I’m trying to make it so that the user can only type in specific letters in a specific order, and if they do, a picture on the screen will move.[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]

As it says, when you make programmatic changes whoever wrote the TextField class assumes that you will know that you are in fact making these changes. Either this:

var characters:Array = new String("kirupa").split("");
this.createTextField("txt", 1, 10, 10, 150, 22);
txt.border = true;
Key.addListener(txt);
txt.onChanged = function():Void  {
 //code you want to execute when text is added to the text field
};
txt.onKeyDown = function():Void  {
 if (String.fromCharCode(Key.getCode()).toLowerCase() == characters[txt.length].toLowerCase()) {
  this.text += String.fromCharCode(Key.getCode());
  this.onChanged();
 }
};

or this:

var characters:Array = new String("kirupa").split("");
this.createTextField("txt", 1, 10, 10, 150, 22);
txt.border = true;
Key.addListener(txt);
txt.onKeyDown = function():Void  {
 if (String.fromCharCode(Key.getCode()).toLowerCase() == characters[txt.length].toLowerCase()) {
  this.text += String.fromCharCode(Key.getCode());
  //code you want to execute when text is added to the text field
 }
};

Up to you :hr:

Um…I have another question…I just realized that the movie kinda “carries” the textfield into the next scene even though I only wanted it in one of the scenes. Is there anyway I can stop that?
