how do I use multiple If statements? 2

[TulsaJeff]

I am setting up a secure area for one of my clients and need to have 20 to 30 separate passwords that will allow access...maybe more. Is this sensible to do this in flash using multiple If statements and if so..what is the actionscript for it?

I have it set up for (1) password now and works fine. Here is my code so far:

if (password== "open&quot {
gotoAndPlay ("enter"
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("stayout"
}

Well... Since it works the way you're doing it, adding any number of if statements shouldn't change anything... Even in the speed of the whole thing! But it might be tedious work if you want to add new passwords.

Might be a possibility to script this in a way that condition is checked against a read array, rather than to individual passwords, making it easier to update this array independently from & not affecting the Flash movie itself.

Just a thought!

if (<not set yet>) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else if (<not set yet>) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else if (<not set yet>) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else if (<not set yet>) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else if (<not set yet>) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else if (<not set yet>) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else { <<<<if none match
gotoAndPlay (&quot;noentry&quot;
}


should work
