Multiplying variables...

[Germaris]

Hi there!

Here is the whole script of a test document which doesn't work...
Excuse me but I never used multiplication of variables and I confess how shameful I feel.
I absolutely don't understand the explanations the Flash Help contains...

Document contains three Input Fields, a Dynamic Field and a Button.
Clicking the Button returns NaN !!!

I thank you in advance for any help.

Best regards from Old Gerry

Code: Select all

var a:Number = new Number(field1.text);
var b:Number = new Number(field2.text);
var c:Number = new Number(field3.text);
operationFct = function () {
   var res:Number = new Number();
   res = (a * b) + c;
   resultFld.text = res;
};
myButton.onRelease = function() {
   operationFct();
};
stop();

The problem isn't your multiplication. When you defined var a-c, it was when the frame loaded. At that point, there was nothing in them. You need to redefine your variables in the function like this:

Code: Select all

operationFct = function () {
   var a:Number = new Number(field1.text);
   var b:Number = new Number(field2.text);
   var c:Number = new Number(field3.text);
   var res:Number = new Number();
   res = (a*b)+c;
   resultFld.text = res;
};
myButton.onRelease = function() {
   operationFct();
};
stop();


Although if you leave the input textfields empty you would still get NaN.

Silly of me... You are right!
Good tip.
