Question

How to make a movie clip invisible depending on a value in another layer?

I am trying to make an "achievements" page for my game, where if the user has a high score greater than 100, then the achievement can be unlocked. I tried using a code like this, but it didn't seem to work!

function Check();
if(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt > 100)
{
medals.roachLock.visible = false;
}
else if(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt < 100)
{
medals.roachLock.visible = true;
}
else if(endscreen_mc.visible == 100)
{
medals.roachLock.visible = true;
}

The high score value is saved inside a shared object. What's wrong with my code, and what can I do to fix it?

Are you seeing any errors when you run that?

Is the instance name of the score text "highscore_txt? If thats's the case then you want to compare "endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text". And you need to compare it to a string. Since you're comparing strings, you can't directly use a greater than - less than method of comparison. You'll have to convert the string in the textfield to a number to do the comparison.

if(Number(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text) > 100)

I tried doing this, but it's still not working..

function Check():void
{
if(Number(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text) > 100)
{
medals_mc.roachLock.visible = false;
medals_mc.medal_mc.visible = true;
}
else if(Number(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text) <= 100)
{
    medals.roachLock.visible = true;
}
}

This is what's inside my endscreen layer

function showresults():void
{
          Rchannel.stop();
   // display current score
   endscreen_mc.scoreR_txt.text = String(score);
   // calculate, display and save (if necessary) a new highscore
   var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("alltimeHighScore");
   if (!so.data.score || score > so.data.score)
   {
       endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text = String(score);
       so.data.score = score;
       so.flush();
             Check();
   }
   else
   {
       endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text = String(so.data.score);
   }
   if(so.data.score==score)
          {
                    endscreen_mc.score_txt.text = String(score);
                    endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text = String(score);
          }
   
}

What is endscreen_mc.highscore_txt ? Is it a textfield?

Yes, it's a text field. My last conditional was incorrectly typed..it's really "else if(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt == 100) I

As Rob described, you need to compare the text property of the textfield and it has to be treated as a numeric value.

You don't need that third condition. You can change the second one to be...

...

else if(Number(endscreen_mc.highscore_txt.text) <= 100)

{

medals.roachLock.visible = true;

}
