This way, >From you main application you can do something like this. if(loginWin. userInput. text=='funandlearning' && loginWin.passwordIn put.text= ='funandlearning') { Alert.show("Login Successful"); loginWin.loginButton.visible = false loginWin.logoutButton.visible = true } You can also use the same button but play around the text property.
