(name == "swear1" ¦¦ "swear2" ¦¦ "swear3") 2

[sMALLQuestions]

Hi all.
can someone tell me shy this doesn't work? and to give me acode that will work.

I want the code to detect what the user had typed in the 'name' input text feild, but i want to detect more then just one word.

on (release) {
if (name == "swear1" || "swear2" || "swear3&quot {
trace ("swearword detected"
} else {
trace ("thanks"
}
}


whats wrong with:

"swear1" || "swear2" || "swear3&quot

please help me with the code.
Thanks a bunch, in advance!

you have to write complete comparison statements for each thing you want to compare:

on (release) {
if (name == "swear1" || name == "swear2" || name == "swear3&quot {
trace ("swearword detected"
} else {
trace ("thanks"
}
}

you could always do:

if (name.substr(0,5) == "swear&quot {
or
if (name.indexOf("swear&quot!= -1 ) {


Same thing.
