Hi Tony,
You could use a hard-coded nested case statement:
on CheckArt
case member("text_articles").text of
"G44", "H55", "I66":
case sprite(21).member.name of
"p44b", "p55b", "p66b":
alert "OOPS!"
end case
end case
end CheckArt
You could use lists. List operations are fast but case-sensitive, so you
need to be sure that you have the right case for each string:
global gTexts, gNames
on startMovie
gTexts = ["G44", "H55", "I66"]
gNames = ["p44b", "p55b", "p66b"]
end startMovie
on CheckArt
if gTexts.getPos(member("text_articles").text) then
if gNames.getPos(sprite(21).member.name) then
alert "OOPS!"
end if
end if
end CheckArt
The advantage of using lists is that you can modify them on the fly.
If you need to change the data on the fly AND you need to avoid
case-sensitivity, you can work with strings (but this is slower):
global gTexts, gNames
on startMovie
gTexts = " G44 H55 I66 "
gNames = " p44b p55b p66b "
end startMovie
on CheckArt
if gTexts contains " "&member("text_articles").text&" " then
if gNames contains " "&sprite(21).member.name&" " then
alert "OOPS!"
end if
end if
end CheckArt
Note that I place a space at the beginning and end of the global strings,
and also at the beginning and end of the strings I check against them. You
can use gNames.word[x] to access a particular word (the .word property will
ignore the initial space).
Cheers,
James
