//draws a text box, selects green text , makes it dynamic text
//and under var: he puts text1

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
text1 = "hi everyone";
if (text1 == "hi everyone") {
text1 = text1 + " please answer me"
}
}

thats BAD code!
with

text1 = "hi everyone please answer me";

you will have the same effect and the added advantage it will not be bad for the cpu usage.
gramatically you must fix the puncuation, but i am the last person who should be allowed to comment about that :)(or spelling!)

that code works it would make any dynamic / input text with the var "text" say my message

Of course your code works, but you are asking Flash to redraw the content of the textField with the same text on each frame whereas hangalot's code is simply asking Flash do it once and no more...
Is there any specific reason why you are running that within the onEnterFrame??? It might not be a big one but why ask Flash to do the same thing over and over???

[hangalot]

see CB you think like a programmer but live in denial.
