actionscript 2.0:Check TextField in flash

Question

I have some problem in check two textfield.text comparison. One TextField.text value is come from calculation and the other textField is from user input. When I check those two text, the TextField.text value didn't show and I can't compare those two. How can I compare in actionscript 2.0. Please Help me! Thanks in advance!

If the textFields are set up correctly, what you've done should be ok.

Here's an example of how it should work:

//with the text tool, make two textFields on the stage
//In the Properties window, set the instance name of one to 'dynamicText'
//and set it's text type to be Dynamic Text
//Set the other one to be named 'inputText'
//and make it of text type Input Text
//enter some dummy text in each field to start with

dynamicText.text="pAssw0rd" //for example

inputText.onChanged= function() {
trace("match is "+(dynamicText.text == inputText.text));//true or false
}

Now run this and try typing in the inputText field...
