ActionScript 2.0 :: Pointers With Calculator-like Interface?
Jul 27, 2009
Need pointers from the good folks here. I need to create an interface illustrated in the link below:
Calculator-like interface (GIF)Scenario 1) When the user clicks either the button 30 or 60, it will update dynamic textfield (value1) with the corresponding value 2) When the user clicks either the button 45 or 73, it will update dynamic textfield (value2) with the corresponding value
3) Dynamic textfield (output) will dynamically add the values of 'value1' and 'value2' and generate the total.
How do I go about scripting the interface?

Mainly looking for pointers to the tutorials I am sure exist (but which I can't find). But I am also very open to any general or specific advice you may have to spell out for me in the thread. I am looking to build a PBBG (Persistent Browser Based Game) which, while single player, has some few multiplayer elements. Indirect interaction. One example of this is a commodities market - yes, the good old space trading, fly to one planet and buy, fly to another and sell scenario. I want every player to impact the inventory of each planet, and to have that inventory affect the buy/sell margins, etc. Other Indirect interaction would be bars et al, where players can chat, maybe (a BIG maybe) trade inventory and such. It seems direct, but it is not fighting one another or fighting at each other's side, etc.; so to me it is 'indirect' to the game. But that isn't why I'm here (feel free to impart any wisdom you have anyway, if you so desire); just an aside to explain a bit about the game.

a)how hard is it to add action script to the hand pointers?
b)can i use the clock on my desktop to show time?

Is there a concept of pointers or anything similiar to that in as3?
I have used a concept of
var mc1:MovieClip;
var mc2:MovieClip();
var mcCommon:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mcCommon["myptr"] = mc1;
mcCommon["myptr"] = mc2;
Where would I get to read and learn more about this concept. I'd like to get simple answers, as I am not an expert in as3. I'm still learning.

I'm looking to build a very simple (hopefully!) interactive game.
- A number of balls are situated at the bottom of the stage.
- There are several dropzones which the balls can be placed in.
-Once a dropzone is occupied with a ball, its not possible to populate that the dropzone with another ball until the present one has been removed. -Depending on which balls are present in the dropzones, the balls animate differently. the red ball is placed in a dropzone. There are currently no other dropzones populated with a ball.

Im trying to create a simple loop that creates 50 buttons, adds them to screen and then when a button is pressed, it traces out that number. I can get it to work by doing stuff I consider hacky (such as using the buttons X/Y location to determine its value), but I'd rather just be able to hold a single value in the function.
The code itself is:
for (var a:int = 0; a < 5; a++) {
for (var b:int = 0; b < 10; b++) {

I am trying to implement a queue for loading external assets. Is there a way to make what I am trying to do work?Basically, each time a loading handler function is called, it gets the loaded data and then it calls loadComplete(), which triggers the next function in the loadQueue array.I am able to successfully place a function into a variable of type Function and then call it, but the part where I am adding the variable to an array is failing.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I'm not sure if you've noticed this, probably not, but function pointers in AS3 run much, much slower than calling the function directly. It's a recent finding, and an annoying one. I use function pointers a lot. An obvious example would be to easily change the behaviour of a certain object. Say I have a class that controls movement, it has a class level function variable called UPDATE (ie public var UPDATE:Function), and 3 or 4 actual functions it can point to.
This always me to quickly/easily change the behaviour of an object. Say for example I want an object to run on different movement code once it's collided with something, I can just do UPDATE = movement2; etc. However, a pointer for a function runs about 15 times slower than running the function directly, therefore I need a replacement. And I really have no idea why there is this absurd disparity in speed between the 2. With some variables, accessing a reference is faster than accessing the variable directly, obviously not with functions. What would you advise as a nice, simple replacement solution for the above example?

For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.

I need to create a calculator (url...) were you can enter in cost in one box and automaticaly it calculates 30% and displays that figure in a total box.
I know a fair amount of action script 2 but now this has to be done in ac3 and I'm very lost.I've tried doesn't seem to work correctly in AC2 or AC3.

I need to use the ComboCox component within a calculator.
I need to combobox data value to be populated by an input text field on the stage.
Basically depending on which of the choices they select from the dropdown menu the calculation made will be made using one of several previously input numbers by the user.

Make changes to the MakeChange.fla application, such that the user enters in the amount of change. The program calculates the number of coins necessary to make change for an amount less than 100 cents. The program should have variables for the amount, number of quarters, number of dimes, number of nickels, and number of pennies. Display all of the information clearly in the output of the program.

I am trying to create a script, where the user inputs a maths equation (something simple like 5 + 2 * 10), I have managed to break down the text into an array and have the numbers in one array and the symbols in another, I wanted the computer to then work it out, however I cant seem to think of how to do this and the methods that I have tried have failed.So there is one dynamic box and the value of that is then broken down by an array split(" "), however this leaves the values in an array and it is percieved as a string not a number and so when i try to work it out

I was thinking of developing a free online calculator in flash. It would be a standard calculator with basic functions like "+", "-", "*" etc. and an advanced calculator with more functions which would be similar to the scientific pocket calculator.
And I have a dilemma regarding the standard calculator. It's about the way it does the calculations. How would you expect a basic calculator (not an advanced one) to calculate this expression: 1+2*3 equals 7 or 9? On paper the result is clearly 7 but basic pocket calculator calculates the expression in line, unaware of the higher priority operators and give you 9 as a result to the expression above.
In the advanced version of the online flash calculator this expression would equal 7 but I have doubts about what people expect from a basic calculator.

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].....
