I am not detecting any keys. My Flash file is the start of a simple quiz. ans1 (in the code below) is a text box instance. The actionscript compares what is typed in with a number of given answers. The trouble is if I make questions that need any of the keyboard keys that do not work then the anser cannot be inputted. Thsiis my problem.

Code given below:

Q1.onRelease = function() {//Q1 carries out this function when

                            //the mouse is released Q1 is hte button named and is assigned this script

    trace(ans1.text); //ans1 is the variable name for the data entry box. The trace

                        //method traces ans1 text entered in the output window

    if(ans1.text == "-1" || ans1.text == "minus 1" ||

       ans1.text == "Minus 1" || ans1.text == "Minus one" ||

       ans1.text == "minus one") //checks the data entered into the box where ==

                                 //is equal to and || means OR

    {

         _root.gotoAndStop(3) // if ans1 is equal to any ofthe above the playhead jumps to frame 3

                               // for the welcome message then closes correct condition

      } else  {                  // else allows the playhead to jump to frame 4 with the

                                // incorrect answer

         _root.gotoAndStop(4)

      }                        // closes the incorrect condition

}                            // closes the script

For a minute I thought I had tried that but what I didn't do was to use the ;export to action script' option when I embededded the font!

Thanks for the suggestion - All sorted!
