Hi.

Your code is correct. I run a test here and everything works just fine.

Do you have an FLA to share so we can investigate better?

Also, you should never use the assignment operator (=) in if statements. You should use the equality operator (==) or the strict equality operator (===) for cases like yours.

Here is a complete list of AS3 operators.

Thank you for the very simple example file.

I wonder if the right answer should be carbondioxide, and not oxygen, but that aside, your input field has a character it it already, and the user answer adds to the end of the text. Try this:

stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent

btnCheck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClik);

input.text = "";

function onClik(event: MouseEvent): void {
	if (input.text == "oksigen") {
		answer.text = "Tahniah, jawapan anda betul";
	} else {
		answer.text = "Maaf, sila cuba lagi";
	}
}

Thank you. btw, the questions is beside sugar what are the product of photosynthesis. so, the answer is oxygen. 

[Colin Holgate]

Ah! It was the 'product' of photosynthesis. I was reading it as what was needed for photosynthesis. I wish I knew Malayan better.
