problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

[meyababacityyu]

Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book

air for android only work with AS3,

the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.

have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.

Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.

(it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)

Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:

stop();

onEnterFrame = function () {

    submit.onRelease = function() {

        switch (yourname.text) {

        case "name1" :

            gotoAndStop(2);

            break;

        case "name2" :

            gotoAndStop(3);

            break;

        }

    };

};

My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".

My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.

Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

it isn't an exact conversion (why would you create a function every frame?) from your code but it does the same thing

stop();

submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSubmit);

private function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void

                    {

                              switch (yourname.text)

                              {

                                        case "name1":

                                                  gotoAndStop(2);

                                                  break;

                                        case "name2":

                                                  gotoAndStop(3);

                                                  break;

                              }

                    }

sorry i forget these things when people work directly ont he timeline, just remove the word private

stop();

submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSubmit);

function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void

                    {

                              switch (yourname.text)

                              {

                                        case "name1":

                                                  gotoAndStop(2);

                                                  break;

                                        case "name2":

                                                  gotoAndStop(3);

                                                  break;

                              }

                    }

Hi thank you so much for helping^ ^

it works!!

but i have one more question

if some of my family enter the wrong name, how can i make it to go to another frame

in this way I can tell them try to enter the different name they are search again?

Thank you

[_spoboyle]

you should use the default option in the switch statement

that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there

function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void

                    {

                              switch (yourname.text)

                              {

                                        case "name1":

                                                  gotoAndStop(2);

                                                  break;

                                        case "name2":

                                                  gotoAndStop(3);

                                                  break;

                                        default:

                                                  goToAndStop(you frame you want);

                                        break;

                              }

                    }
