Input Text Question

[frostbite]

How do you code it so that when a certain word (lets say flash) is entered into an input text field with a character limit of 5, it triggers an event to play elsewhere

So basically, when the input text field "answer" is equal to "flash" it will _root.mcEvent.gotoAndPlay(2);

You can see any example of what im talking about at http://www.johnnyhollow.com with the riddles

Use the TextField.onChanged event:

code:

---

myInputText.onChanged=function(){

	if(myInputText.text=="flash"){

		_root.mcEvent.gotoAndPlay(2);

	}

}

sweet I have one more quick question ill force in here

if you have already played a frame, the script I use to skip forward to another frame is

if (_global.hasPlayed){
        gotoAndPlay(11);
} else {
        _global.hasPlayed = true;
        stop();
}

How can I modify this so you can say if a certain frame, not necessarily the frame you are on right now, has been played, do the following.
