    running function

    Hey guys

    How do i get function to run again and again. I have this thing where i want to check 5 textfields if they have any text in them.

    I made a function

    PHP Code:
    function test(){
    if(
    q_txt.text == "" && a1_txt.text == "" && a2_txt.text == "" && a3_txt.text == "" && a4_txt.text == "" )
        {    
            
    compile_btn.visible true;
            
    compile true;
        }
        else
        {
            
    compile_btn.visible false;
            
    compile false;
        }
    }
    test(); 
    but this function only runs once and once it's run if i type in any thing in the text field it doesn't do anything.

    How do i get it to check again and again

    do something like this...

    just add a change event to each of your textfields. That way whenever the text changes, the function will run...

    q_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, test);
    a1_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, test);
    a2_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, test);
    a3_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, test);
    a4_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, test);

    make sure to adjust your function to be used as a listener...
    PHP Code:
    function test([B]e:Event[/B]):void
    {
        if(
    q_txt.text == "" && a1_txt.text == "" && a2_txt.text == "" && a3_txt.text == "" && a4_txt.text == "" ) {    
                
    compile_btn.visible true;
                
    compile true;
            } else {
                
    compile_btn.visible false;
                
    compile false;
            }
        }

    Search first, asked questions later.
