registrate characters

[maik]

I want to make an easter egg in a presentation i made.
And i want it to occur when the user for example types
"christmas" during the presentation. I know how to do
an action when a user presses one key but is there a
way to registrate a word and then do an action?

Hi

You can use an input text field.

You can then do a check on whether Christmas was the text that was input ... you still need a 'submit button'.

Hope this helps.

ok...
first make an input text field OUTSIDE the boundries of your stage on flash.
give it a variable name - say, "egg".
second phase, make a function that test that text field on the press of "enter".
function easter () {
if (egg != "" && egg == "christmas") {
you easter code here
} else {
return;
}

that is the function...
then to invoke the function make an EnterFrame event handler that triggers the function on the press on ENTER.

that should be it... i think.
tell me how it works...
bye
