I'm new to the this listserv and new to Director, so please let me know if I
deviate from your conventions.
I'd like to do the following.
1. Have a user type an answer to a question in a field and press
ENTER/RETURN.
2. Compare the answer to the correct answer and respond accordingly.
The following is the barebones of the code I'm using to check if the user
has correctly typed the symbol for the element carbon.
on keyUp
if the key = RETURN then
answer = member("input field large").text
if answer = "C" Then
go "symbol correct"
else
go "symbol incorrect"
end if
end if
end
Typing "C" does not yield the correct response. If I put the same code
(without the key = RETURN lines) under a button, it works fine. The
ENTER/RETURN key seems to change the text. Any ideas on how I make this
work? I don't want to use "contains" because I don't want "Ca" to be
considered correct.
Thanks
