I need help with a script

[Eric]

It's a fairly simple problem, but I'm relatively new to action scripting.

I want an Input Text Field with a button that when clicked, will check to see what's in the Input Text Field. If the Text Field has the words "Robert" in it, the movie will advance to frame 10. If it has anything else, it will give the alert "Access Denied" and the movie will not continue.

I tried to script this myself, but I received an abundance of errors in the output menu that I have not been able to fix.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

hi Eric,

Use the below code on click the button

if (InputFieldName eq "Robert") {
    gotoAndPlay (10);
} else {
    message = "Access Denied";
}

change the above code according to your requirement, you can use another TextField and named it message if there is an error in InputFieldName , it will show you the ERROR,

Try it

If you have another question feel free to put here!

Thanks for the help Jeet, but I'm still having problems!

When using this code:

 on (release) {
if (InputFieldName eq "Robert")
    gotoAndPlay (10); 
} else { 
    message = "Access Denied"; 
}

I get this error:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Enter (Button), Frame=1: Line 4: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else {

When I attempted to fix the problem by removing the brackets around "else" I received no errors in the output menu, but it still did not work correctly. Is the problem having to do with substituting "InputFieldName" with something else, and if so, how do I know what to replace it with?

Thanks for any help

hi eric,

Use the below code and try it

on (release) {
	if (my eq "jeet") {
		message = "";
		gotoAndStop (5);
	} else {
		message = "Access Denied";
		gotoAndPlay (5);
	}
}

Or use the attechment file
