Input Text

[tomáss49447881]

Hello, I'm relatively new to Action Script 3, so I'm having some trouble with an Input Text code.

I have an Input box called "caja" and I want people to enter the right answer, so I have some code in place that supposedly redirects you to another scene depending on your answer. The thing is when I enter the right answer it takes me to the wrong answer scene. The wrong answer does work but for some reason, the other one doesn't. Any ideas?

Code:

var check:Boolean = false;

var input1:String;

var answer = "no";

button_12.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkClick);

function checkClick(event:MouseEvent):void{

    input1 = caja.text;

    check = true;

    if (input1 == answer) {

gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 4");

    }

    else gotoAndPlay(110, "Scene 4");

};

Hi.

I think your code works.

Probably the Scene 4 only has 110 frames, so when you write to go to Scene 4 and play it, you never get to see the frame 110 because the playback sends you back immediately to the frame 1 from the first scene.

Replace gotoAndPlay with gotoAndStop and you'll probably get the result you want.

I hope it helps.

Regards,

JC

No, that can't be it because frame 110 is where the "wrong answer" scene is. The right answer scene is on frame 1 of that same scene.

Thanks anyways

I think you mean label when you say scene.

If you want the timeline to go to a specific frame/label you write:

gotoAndStop(1);
//or
gotoAndStop("label");

If you want to go to another scene, you have to write:

gotoAndStop(1, "Scene");
//or
gotoAndStop("label", "Scene");

Of course this all is valid for the gotoAndPlay function as well.
