ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating A Dynamic Calculator - Flash MX
Jun 11, 2005
I refer to this tutorial: [URL]
i'm creating a calculator similar to the one Kirupa creates on the first page. I think I've just about got my head around calling functions, but I want the calculation output text box (text_answer) to change dynamically, as you change the values in the variable text boxes. i.e. I don't want to have to hit the submit button each time the values are changed.
how would I go about making a change to the code to do this? I've tried lots of methods but seem to be going round in circles on something that must surely be pretty simple..
I am currently trying to design a Savings calculator for my client's website (in Flash CS3). This is my 'trying to learn Flash' project so to speak.I have attached a jpeg of the calculator I have designed (and noted the inputs and outputs FYI).
Below is the actionscript so far - please bear in mind that I have sourced some of this code from researching online, and most of it I know is incorrect but I have included it to show what the calculations for the boxes should be. Anything online on Flash calculations seems too simple to apply to what I'm doing. I read that my Calculate button should be a 'Button' but I then read elsewhere that I should choose my button from Components-User Interface-Button but it's properties say that it's a 'Movie Clip'. And I'm clueless as to how to modify this to look like my button design.
Code: var num:Number; function Calc() { num1 = Input1_txt.text;[code].....
I've been trying out small snippets of code just to practice with and get comfortable with making classes and small games.Right now I am trying to make a simple combat with Orks. Where there is a Parent Class ORK with several ORK children classes like SentryOrk, MetalOrk, etc.
The Ork class basically puts in the many stats used by the ork such as health, strength, vitality, special, luck, etc. And then the children classes modify those like Sentry Ork will have less health and more luck.I did all that fine, but the problem I have is I want there to be multiple Sentry Orks out with their own defined stats.Right now whenever I do initiate the attack one out of three orks on the screen, they all share the same health.I know what the problem is, I just don't know how to go about dynamically making each class their own?Do I have to make a whole other class to bring them onto the stage with their stats like create a new class that handles all ENEMY POP UPS? I don't see how to do that either?:
I need to create a dynamic movie player in the flash website, i tried Import Video... (File > Import >) , then i put a relative URL of xml file (e.g. xspf.xml) under the "Already deployed on web server..." option. but the video doesn't show nothing at all.
This is my code in xspf.xml:
[Code]....
is there any other better or easier way to create an flv player within flash website which support multiple video file as a playlist?
I thought I had a good hold on how to create buttons from a class, but my invis class will not return the button that is created to my fla. I have been able to access functions of invis class from my fla, even instantiate the object, but none of the button states carry over to the fla. If you can help I'd appreciate it. I placed the code below.
I need to create flash interactive animation for one one of my regular clients, which should look and work similar to example bellow: Link This is how my clients product (shirt) should look like and what sections should be editable: [URL] Basically it should work this way:
1. End user chooses some element of shirt which he would like to edit (for example collar)
2. When he clicks on that element, popup windows shows offering two main options: to change color and graphic (texture or pattern), same as on nike store customize example
3. After user changes one section (collar) he goes to other section (lets say sleeve) and so on
4. User should be able to zoom in or zoom out that shirt and also if it is possible to rotate it in 4-5 positions
5. At the end it should be able to save that work (and load it if he wants to later ) and be able to print it.
I have made many animations, games, banners and similar using Macromedia Flash MX and Adobe Flash so I am not a flash newbie but this is a first time I am dealing with this type of work.I know that there is no step by step tutorial for this kind of custom interactive animation. how to create these three first steps (1. 2. 3). Regarding steps (4.) and (5.) I think I could realize it (zoom in, zoom out, rotate movieclip, save in database and print screen), because I had some previous experience regarding this part.
I'm in a Web Design class and atm, I'm working on chapter 8 of Flash CS5 case problem.I have to make a calculator. Can I just say that AS3 makes me frusterated? D:Anyway, after I finished what the book told me to do whilst getting confused in some areas, I got many compiler errors. I managed to get rid of them but in the end, my calculator isn't working, haha.
Here's the whole code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent; calcTotal_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculateTourCost); function calculateTourCost(event:MouseEvent):void {
I've Googled & Binged to no avail. I'm trying to create a dynamic menu in Flash using PHP & MySQL and bring it into Flash using AS3 DataProvider. My menu works fine with a local Array, but I seem to have an issue with the Type being a String and not an Array, but how do I set it up properly so the types are correct? So I started with a typical, non-dynamic array and it works to create my menu:
[flash=]var items1:Array = [ {myClass:"SCI101", question:"What color is the sky?"}, {myClass:"MATH110", question:"What is the square root of 81?"}, {myClass:"SCI101", question:"How fast is the turtle?"}, {myClass:"SCI101", question:"How far is the Earth from Mars?"}, {myClass:"xXxXxXx", question:"xXxXxXx"}, [Code] .....
I have the code below but I need to generate it with a for loop. What is the proper way to do this? I don't initially know how many points i will have. I just want to create a for loop to loop through a variable that holds the point count such as "var totalPoints=10"
//1 var p1oint = new Point(); points.addChild(p1);
How to create a decent calculator in actionscript 2. I was hoping to create on with, just one input box and the user could put something like 5 * 2 + 10 - 2, in the input box and then the computer would be able to work it out.
I am making an flash calculator. The only problem is that all the calculator flash applications always use input textboxes to use the numbers, but I need buttons. The first thought was to use a string, and add all the numbers together. The only problem is that I cant add two strings together because flash thinks that it is not a numeric variable. I have tried to use the var:Number function but it still isn't working.
I am given a task by my client to develop a calculator which will calculate the Cab fair from one location to another. There is a list of Cab fairs as well as their corresponding Location Name. It would be displaying the results on the screen.
I want to generate a mc for each rep with 6 text fields containg the 6 values for eash rep.So for this xml there would be 3 mc's with 6 text fields in each. This is one of my first times really diving in to xml parsing in Flash.
I have to create calculator in Action Script 2.0 with Flash8. But I have to use OOPs, for that. OOPs's use is necessary.Can you give me some code regarding.
How do I create a normal calculator using Adobe Flash CS 4 & Action Script. I created a calculator using buttons & layers in CS4 but the result is coming as NaN?
I've had an issue with using Facebook's Share feature.
The user experience on the shared content below is just completely unclear (even when I tested some clarified language: e.g. "click here"). Users simply don't know what to do: they often either click "Like," or they comment with something along the lines of "I support you."
According to the documentation, it is possible to share Flash content in these posts. I'm hoping I can create a "Support" button as an SWF button.
Is it possible to dynamically create such an SWF with a custom *href? Will my use case work on Facebook?
I must have done something wrong because when I try this var a = 5.222+ 0.0002trace (a) I get // 5.222200000000001 And then I try var b = 2.222+ 0.0002trace (b) I get // 2.2222
I've created a calculator and it works fine. The only problem I have is that I want to make it easier to use. How can I for example how can I have the calculator respond to my keyboard instead of having to click the number. Instead of having to get the mouse and clcik the 5 I rather just press the 5 on the keyboard.
I'm trying to make a basic flash calculator except it only has to be able to square the number provided by the user, I have followed many tutorials but I keep getting the NaN as the output. Here is the actionscript:
I am having trouble using the name of given button to determine my loader URL. If my button is called yerBasicButton_bt ... I would like it to utilize a reuseable function to dynamically determine and load a URL named yerBasicButton.swf. In this manner yerBasicButton2_bt would then load a movie named yerBasicButton2.swf, and so on. So the function looks at the instance name of the calling button to determine it's URL.
stop(); unit133bd3ba_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getUnitSWF); function getUnitSWF (e:MouseEvent):void { var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.x = 25; swfLoader.y = 368; var swfURL:String = e.currentTarget-"_bt"+".swf" var swfURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfURL); swfLoader.load(swfURLReq); this.addChildAt(swfLoader, 0);}
