Word Help 1

[Brian56]

Hi,

I am making an educational CD for children grades 6-12. The section I am currently working on concerns improving the childs use of English.

I need help with a function. The chlid has to type in a word and Flash has to determine if it is a palindrome or not and display an appropriate message. I can handle the messages but after two days of fruitless attempts at coding such a function I am close to giving up.

If someone could just point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Brian.

an input box, a dynamic text box for answer and a button

my_btn.onRelease = function(){
palin = myInput.text.split("&quot.reverse().join(""
if (palin==myInput.text){
answer.text = "Is a palindrome";
}else{
answer.text = "Not a palindrome";
}
}

Many, many, thanks.

I had tried permutations of your code but never hit upon that solution.

Brilliant.

Brian
