Hi everyone,

I have a question about how to use the flash mx 2004 commponents for example lets say I have a numeric steper and when you click 2 times you’ll see in it 2 so when i click a button a text box will say correct if it has #2 in the numeric steper and my problem is that how do i call that answer correct here is the script i made and a picture too so you get an idea.

```auto

//on button
on(press){
if(_root.what???? == 2){
_root.textbox1 = "correct";
}else{
_root.textbox1 = "wrong";
}
}

```
