Flash CS6 AS3: Else If statement - actionscript-3

Question

I explained this earlier and got a good answer. For some reason it's not working out as I want it to. I have a counter counting down from 15 seconds. I want the users to input " 4 8 15 16 23 42" and then click a button or hit enter. This would then launch a different scene bumping the counter back up to 1:08:00..
But if they don't put the numbers in before the counter hit zero I want it to display a different scene of the computer blowing up or shaking violently. Here is the code I got earlier. But once I hit the button it just restarts at 15 seconds opposed to playing my new scene.
EDIT: Just found out if you type in any numbers, not even correct ones, it starts the counter back at 15.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
submitbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, testPassword);
function testPassword(e:MouseEvent):void { if (numbertext.text == "4 8 15 16 23 42") { gotoAndPlay("success");
} else { gotoAndPlay("shake");
}
}

Answer 1

First thing, is that this will work only if you click with the mouse, so you should add the listener if you want to add the possibility to press enter,
and gotoAndPlay in as3 is like gotoAndPlay(frameNumber, "sceneName");
so your function should be :
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
submitbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, testPassword);
function testPassword(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (numbertext.text == "4 8 15 16 23 42") {
gotoAndPlay(1, "success");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1, "shake");
}
}
And about the timer, be sure that when you instanciate it, you do it this way,
var timer:Timer = new Timer(15000,1); // 15sec and just 1 time
and the listener should be TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE
But what you need to do, is to read the documentation, may be some tutorials too, to learn the basics ...
