Ok, so I'm sick of input popup boxes, and I'm trying to figure out how I would get infomation from the user, with the use of input. Like Text-based...
Jul 12 2008, 8:35 am
var/text = input("asdf") as text

like that?

You'll have to be more specific about what you're trying to do.

Basically, like this


What do you want your name to be? (Nothing but text)

You type in James.

Are you sure you want your name to be James?
Y or N

You type in Y or yes.

What is your password

I figure you get the basic idea..

var/Name = input("What do you want your name to be?","Name") as text
switch( alert("Are you sure you want your name to be [Name]?",,"Yes","No") )
    if("Yes")
        name = Name

What you would want is either a command parser or text parse

ID:551408 - command parser

Just do a quick forum search and you can find a lot.
