website security actionscript

Thanks for responding.

I tried nextFrameAndPlay, gotoAndStop(2) andgotoAndPlay(2) but every time I press enter it just clears the text boxes that I am typing into. Is there anything else you can suggest. This doesn't seem like it should be a difficult thing to do!

Thanks again.

My Username and Password are defined in the properties window as variables.

Thank you for your response. I am a relatively new flash user and am feeling a little frustrated!

I guess this is where I am a bit confused. I basically used a tutorial that I found off the net so I am unsure about a few things. It said to set the variables in the properties window as "Username" and "Password", other than that everything is defined in the actionscript that I entered above. The user is given the Username and Password, "myUsername" and "myPassword". There are text boxes that I have set as the variables Username and Password and that is where "myUsername" and "myPassword" are to be entered.
I hope I have clarified things a bit.
I appreciate your help!

kglad,

I tried to enter the code:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (Username.toLowerCase()=="myusername&&Password.toLowerCase()=="mypassword") {
nextframe();
} else {
stop();
}

and I received the following error messages:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=enter button, frame=1:Line 3: ')' expected
(Username.toLowerCase()=="muUsername&&Password.toLowerCase()=="myPassword") {

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=enter button, frame=1:Line 4: Syntax error.
nextframe();

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=enter button, frame=1:Line 5: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else {

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

I have tried a number of things to try and fix this, but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Again, thank you so much for your help!

I tried to cut and paste the code that you gave me but I still receive the same error messages. The words: Username and myPassword are highlighted in black and everything else (other than a few brackets) is highlighted in either green or blue. Does this mean anything?

Thanks!

Here is the code from my fla.

Thanks.

When I view the code online it doesn't show the { after "myPassword"), but I do have one there.

Thanks.

The following code is the last suggested code that you posted for me. The only thing I changed is that I added a stop action near the end.

Here it is again.

Thanks!

I haven't uploaded my fla anywhere yet, I am still working on it on my own system. Is there a way to attach a flash file to the forum? Probably not I suspect.

I appreciate all of your help. I'll understand if you want to give up on me!

Thanks again.

I tried the code suggested in the last post but I had problems making it work, I kept getting error messages about the mouseevent.

I thought I would try something different. In the attached code when I type in the username and password it directs me to frame 2 but I can also type in anything else and get to frame 2 as well. Do I need a better else statement? I'm not sure what to add to the code to remedy this. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

after removing the second and third lines, var name etc var pass etc. nothing happens. I can type in the username and password but when I press enter nothing happens.

Thanks for your response.

I already had the variables defined in the properties panel as name and password. I'm not sure why this isn't working. The only way that I can get the fla to go to the next frame is to define the variables name and password with their actual meanings in the code like I did originally. Do I need to give the textfields an instance name as well, or am I way off.

Thanks

My button is a true button, not a movieclip button. Should it be a movieclip button?

Thanks.
