Sorry. I copied and pasted your script and MOST works. All will work up until I hit my button (enter_) which is when its meant to gotoAndPlay(16) and display the username. It does not gotoAndPlay(16) nor display the username. Further help?

Thanks

Yes and it is seperate from the items on the main screen. Unfortunately all is working except the display name (id_.text) and gotoAndPlay(16). I am still tryin to work it out, but if you find a fault in the code below, may you please point it out

//startScript

enter_.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loginEnter);

function loginEnter(event:MouseEvent):void {

          if((username_.text == "Admin" && password_.text == "admin") || (username_.text =="name" && password_.text == "pass1"))

          {

                    gotoAndPlay(16) && id_.text == "Welcome " + username_.text;

          }

          else

          {

                    textBox_.text = "Incorrect ID";

          }

}

//endScript

enter_ = button

id_ = display name

textBox_ = status textfield

username_ = username textfield

password_ = password textfield

NOTE: The textfields are actually "Classic Text" "Input Text" bars, and the display name is a "Classic Text" "Dynamic Text" bar. They are not "TLF Text"

They were the details to what they equal.

After fiddling with the code a little more it is finally all working

//startScript

enter_.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loginEnter);

function loginEnter(event:MouseEvent):void {

          if((username_.text == "Admin" && password_.text == "admin") || (username_.text =="name" && password_.text == "pass"))

          {

                     id_.text = username_.text;

                     gotoAndPlay(16);

          }

          else

          {

                    textBox_.text = "Invalid ID";

          }

}

//endScript

The problem I was facing is the "id_" and "textBox_" had to be "Dynamic Text" and the "username_" and "password_" had to be TFL Editable. As well as that, the "textBox_.text" and "id_.text" had to have one equal bar (=) instead of the suggested two (==), but all-in-all you helped me very well and I would never have figure that code if it werent for you

Thankyou!
