Hey, I'm following the steps to making a random number guessing game, but I can't seem to get my code to work. I am using dynamic and input texts to create an input and output for my game.
What the problem has been is that my guess button doesn't work. I'm not getting any error messages, but it won't output the text that changes based on my if/else statement. I'm not really sure whats wrong with it.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Main extends MovieClip {
var startMessage:String;
var mysteryNumber:uint;
var currentGuess:uint;
public function Main() {
init()
guessButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onGuessButtonClick);
}
function init():void{
startMessage = "I am thinking of a number";
mysteryNumber = 50
currentGuess = uint(input.text);
output.text = startMessage;
input.text = "";
input.backgroundColor = 0xFFCCCCCC;
input.restrict = "0-9";
stage.focus = input;
}
function onGuessButtonClick(event:MouseEvent){
if(currentGuess > mysteryNumber){
startMessage = "too high!";
}
else if (currentGuess < mysteryNumber){
startMessage = "too low!";
}
else {
startMessage = "you win!";
}
}
}
}

The first thing to always try is to embed the font in the textfield. Another thing to check is that the textfield textcolor is not the same as the backbround color.
You should put traces in your onGuessButtonClick function so that you can confirm the conditionals are processing as expected.
