Hmm, it might be easier to do it all from a single listener in
Actionscript. This keeps things organized in one place.
I'd do something like the following, and place it in frame 1. An
additional group of frames follow, the number being equal to the
total characters in the code word, e.g. eight additional frames
in this example for the eight letter "codeword":
<code>
/*
Change secretListener.word and secretListener.url to
suit your needs and put this code in frame 1 of the
movie.
*/
// Define a new listener object
var secretListener = {};
secretListener.word = 'codeword';
secretListener.url = 'http://www.google.com/';
secretListener.ptr = 1;
// Define a handler for onKeyDown
secretListener.onKeyDown = function() {
// See if they entered the next letter...
if (Key.getAscii() == this.word.charCodeAt(this.ptr)) {
// Go to the next frame if it's correct
gotoAndStop(this.ptr++);
// If the entire code is entered, go to the URL
if (this.ptr == this.word.length) {
getURL(this.url);
}
}
}
// Add the listener
Key.addListener(secretListener);
</code>
