ComponentEvent.ENTER!...-nothing happens-

So i am trying to make an admin only part for this website I am doing. I have a button the person presses and it brings up a little ImputText field.

PHP Code:

---

name_txt.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.ENTER, checkerF);

function checkerF(e:ComponentEvent):void
{
    trace("ENTER IS PRESSED");
    if(name_txt.text = "username")
    {
        trace("NAME = USER ID");
        gotoAndStop(3);
    }
    else
    {
        gotoAndStop(1);
    }
} 


---

For some reason, when I am pressing enter, no trace statements are tracing. I even tryed to target stage for the event that enter is pressed and that doesn't work either.

is name_txt actually a TextInput component, or is it a TextField with a type of TextFieldType.INPUT?

Also, is name_txt in focus when you press enter?

this is a working example...

Code:

---

import fl.controls.*;
import fl.events.*;

var ti:TextInput = new TextInput();
ti.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.ENTER, doSomething);
addChild(ti);

function doSomething(e:ComponentEvent):void
{
        trace('doing something');
}

note - the TextInput component needs to be in your library for this to work.
