[RESOLVED] [fCS3] Why?! Just why?!

Sorry about the unclearness of the title but that's the question i have been asking myself all day!

I am making a part in my flash game where you can select the level. I have made an input text box and set the var name to levelinput. Then i made a button and gave it this code:

on(release, keyPress"<Enter>"){
	if(levelinput.toLowerCase eq "tutorial"){
		gotoAndStop("Scene 2", "tutorialstart");
	}else if(levelinput.toLowerCase eq "level1"){
		gotoAndStop("Scene 3", "hsstart");
	}else{
		gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "invalidlvl");
	}
}

for some reason i always get the invalidlvl frame. I would really appreciate some help guys, cos i haven't even done the main part of the game yet, and i don't like moving on while things don't work.


oh, btw, i made sure the frame labels are correct and used the script assist to confirm it. nothing wrong with the code... I followed a tut on this kind of thing and that didn't work either....

1- add parens. String.toLowerCase()
2- eq is deprecated, use ==
3- omit the Scene name, use frame labels only

on(release, keyPress"<Enter>"){
	if(levelinput.toLowerCase() == "tutorial"){
		gotoAndStop("tutorialstart");
	}else if(levelinput.toLowerCase() == "level1"){
		gotoAndStop("hsstart");
	}else{
		gotoAndStop("invalidlvl");
	}
}

thanks for the answer, but it still doesn't work. I went through again and checked everything was named correctly... nothing.

I think the problem is something to do with the input box. when I add actionscript to the frame and say: levelinput = "tutorial", the input box has tutorial written in it. But if i change what it says and press the button it still takes me o the tutorial level... ?
