allowing both upper and lower case for dynamic text fields

[Flashoid]

I have a simple dynamic text quiz created that displays either "wrong" or "correct" based on the text the user enters in the field. However, mine only works if they key in the correct text using all lower case letters. I would like them to be able to enter either upper or lower case letters and as long as they are spelled correctly (match the if_input text correctly) it will be considered correct. I have tried variations of Keyallowed with no success. There are 3 text fields, labeled input1, input2 and input3 and answer. I have attached current code I have below.

but.onRelease = function(){
if(_root.input1.text=="answerone"&& _root.input2.text=="answertwo"&& _root.input3.text=="answerthree"){
answer.text = "Correct"
}else{
answer.text = "Wrong"
}
}

thanks!

Imperatively run the inputed texts through a upperTolower case conversion bit, before actually comparing them to the correct answers.

In other words...

Putting things in lower case or UPPER CASE - this is a relatively simple process, but is very useful when you are dealing with case sensitive stuff such as searches and replaces (which we will be covering later). You just use toLowerCase() or toUpperCase() as demonstrated here:

var example:String = "a mixture OF CASES";
trace(example.toLowerCase());//traces "a mixture of cases"
trace(example.toUpperCase());//traces "A MIXTURE OF CASES"
trace(example);//Hasn't changed
//if you want it to:
example = example.toLowerCase();
trace(example);//traces "a mixture of cases"

Thanks for the reply. Are there any flash books you would recommend?
