[vet-mm] actionscript prob

[Michelle Dennis]

Hi,
 
There's nothing wrong with the code - it's an easy fix!
 
Just untick autokern on both of your input boxes.

Subject: [vet-mm] actionscript prob


Speaking of scripting - I have an odd issue with Flash CS3 (AS 2.0) and a simple piece of scripting I have used many times before.
 
 
A simple and crude calculator
Create 2 input text boxes with variable names, 'num1' and 'num 2' respectively.
Create a dynamic text box with the variable name 'answer'.
A button with the following script
 
on (press) {
 answer = Number(num1) + Number(num2); //Adds 2 numbers entered into num1 and num2, converting num1 & 2 from strings to numbers
}
 
It produces the correct output on a teachers PC eg 2 + 3 =5, but not on the students or my laptop where it produces NaN (Not a number).
A check of the datatypes using 'trace(typeof(num1)); etc, shows that num1 and num2 remain as strings.
 
A trace(answer) command shows a lot of html code?!?!?
It appears different machines compile them differently, is there a setting or formatting I am not finding??
 
Any clues, anyone?
Glenn Drew
