Hi all.

I am working on a small chatbot that will have conditioned responses depending on words a user types in.. So far, it is a failure.. Here is the code i have:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
	if (_root.user.text=="Hi") {
		_root.reply.Text = "Hello";

		_root.user.text = "";
				
	}else{
		_root.reply.Text = "I have no idea";
}

This simple code should be looking for certain 'keywords' in a sentence, and responding to it using pre written answers.

When I run this now, it only replace the text in the inputbox with 'Hi' and thats it, the dynamic box does not change.

I am using Flash MX (6)..

Thanks in advance!!

Text" should be "text"

It Works!!! Thank you!!

One more thing... on this stretch of code:

 if (_root.user.text=="Hi") {

Is there a way I cam make it look for the word in the sentence, instead of it having to be that exact value?
