ComponentEvent.ENTER!...-nothing happens-

[shabasky]

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.

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.
