[PUP100]

Hi,

I have been doing some work with conditional statements in particular the if & if else type.

Basically the idea is that I have 2 text fields on stage (An Input type called pup & an Dynamic type called long_txt) when a user submits a surname through the input box & presses the button the surname is compared against a couple of surnames & either throws back a trace message with the corresponding first name or in the case of a match to the surname ward, generates some text for the Dynamic text field long_txt.

The problem is that the dynamic field long_txt. Will not generate the required message. I have checked the syntax & can find no logical error & wondered if any would be able to help.

I have set out below the actual code to assist:



stop();

pup=""

my_btn.onPress = function (){

if (pup=="ward"){

this.long_txt.text="Alright Tel!";

}

else if (pup=="gane"){

trace ("Hello Mart");

}

else {

trace ("Who are you?");

}

}

Thanking you very much in anticipation
