Request Assistance With Combining Functions

Question

Ned Murphy (or anyone else),
I referenced some guidance you offered a while back concerning combining functions.  Your response was:

You do not want to be using the same name for a function and a variable. As far as combining the two functions, it would make sense to just have the doorColor function do all the work, though you do not need to use the if/else setup...
var min = 1;
var max = 3;
function doorColor (event:MouseEvent)
var getNewDoor:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (max - min) + min);
gotoAndStop("door"+String(getNewDoor));
I'm building a program with a similar need to combine functions. I've got text input fields (answerBox and answerBox2).  I'm forcing the user to go to the first input text field with stage.focus = answerBox2.
I used most of the code you recommended to witherton in my coding.  My desire is to combine the input from the two text fields to jump to a "Correct or "Incorrect" page once Enter is clicked.
I included my coding to show you where I'm at.  Not sure if I inserted your snippet in the right place...for Line 68, I keep getting a 1083: Syntax error: else is unexpected.
46  stop();
47
48  answerBox2.text = "";
49  stage.focus = answerBox2;
50  answerBox.text = "";
51  stage.focus = answerBox;
52
53  stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
54
55  function keyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
56          if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER) {
57               if (answerBox2.text == "+80" || answerBox2.text == "+ 80" || answerBox2.text == "OVER 80" || answerBox2.text == "OVER80"|| answerBox2.text == "over 80" || answerBox2.text == "over80") {
58                   //gotoAndStop(20); I previously used this for a single function
59               } else {
60                      if (answerBox2.text != "") {
61                             //gotoAndStop(19); I previously used this for a single function
62          if (answerBox.text == "R390" || answerBox.text == "R 390" || answerBox.text == "RIGHT390" || answerBox.text == "RIGHT 390"|| answerBox.text == "right 390" || answerBox.text == "right390") {
63                     var answerBox2 = error1;
64                     var answerBox = error2;
65                     function TwoErrors(event:MouseEvent) {
66                        var getTwoErrors:Keyboard.ENTER = Math(Math() * (error1 + error2));
67                        gotoAndStop(20);
68                    } else {
69                       if (answerBox2.text + answerBox.text != "") {
70                             gotoAndStop(19);
71                          }
72                      }
73                  }
74              }
75          }
76      }
77 }
I tried adding and deleting curly brackets at different lines, but the error is still there. Can you assist?
Thanks!
I'm really showing my inner noob, eh?

Answer 1

What are you trying to accomplish with the lines:
63                     var answerBox2 = error1;
64                     var answerBox = error2;
If those are the textfields names, then you don't want to be creating variables that are named the same as the textfields.
Also, you appear to have a function nested within another function.  Don't do that.
