You could either check that there is a value in the store number field and if there is you assume it’s correct, or you could load all your store numbers into an array and then use a for statement to check the entry against the array and look for a match. ---

well lemme clearify a bit about this… from Flash it’s going to ASP and from ASP to ACCESS mdb file… I was always thinking, that i need to put a javascript in the ASP file, and IF doesn’t recongnize the number requested it will pop up a message saying Sorry please enter new number or something? is that do-able? since i am kinda of anew bie to flash, can u guide me on the command to check if there nothing inthe Store text field '( i am using instance names) that a new movie layer or somethig plays and says Enter again? sorry for bugging. ---

I’m don’t know a lot about server side scripting, but i’m guessing you chould return a boolean value back to flash from your scripts that is then analized and action is taken based on if it is true or false.
