Can anyone give me an idea why this script will work in Flash 7 , but gives the
error code in Flash 8?

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (user add pass eq "xxxxx" add "xxxxx!") {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 5", 3);
} else if (user add pass ne "xxxxx" add "xxxxx!") {
gotoAndPlay("tryagain", 1);
}
}

Here's the error message

**Error** Scene=animated opening, layer=Layer 3, frame=6:Line 2: ')' expected
if (user add pass eq "xxxxx" add "xxxxx") {

**Error** Scene=animated opening, layer=Layer 3, frame=6:Line 3: Statement
must appear within on handler
gotoAndPlay("Scene 5", 3);

**Error** Scene=animated opening, layer=Layer 3, frame=6:Line 4: Unexpected
'}' encountered
} else if (user add pass ne "xxxxx" add "xxxxx!") {

Thanks!

Manno,

Thank you for your help and advice.

Working now.

the add, eq and ne keywords don't exist in AS2. They were marked
deprecated in MX 2004, and appearantly gotten rid of in 8.

add is now + or the String .concat() method
eq is now == or ===
ne is now != or !==

What you want is:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (user + pass == "xxxxx" + "xxxxx!") {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 5", 3);
} else if (user + pass != "xxxxx" + "xxxxx!") {
gotoAndPlay("tryagain", 1);
}
}

BTW: The second condition can even be removed entirely. If the first
condition is not true, the second will always be true. So:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (user + pass == "xxxxx" + "xxxxx!") {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 5", 3);
} else {
gotoAndPlay("tryagain", 1);
}
}

Will suffice.

Manno
