Expect A Standard Calculator To Work?
Jul 16, 2010
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 have captured a very old version of flash which was designed using Macromedia Flash and now extracted by ******* and try to hyper-linking but these wont work. I noticed that the option that i can is ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 and code snippets works with Actionscript. I have little experience with layers as i know Photoshop and i just copy all of Layers and paste in new Flash with Actionscript and now can use the Code Snippets but they still dont work and i dont know. These images are set as buttons open up Action and add code there but they dont work. I dont know what to do next. Here's a flash that i just want to simply link all the images expect the moon and Spaceman.

I have a POJO which declares a collection of List<Long>.
We're currently sending an ArrayCollection of Number, and it's arriving at the client as an ArrayCollection, populated with IntegersGiven the issues with Type Erasure & generics I understand how this is happening. How do I fix it?
Unfortunately because of some internal limitations, the model cannot be changed. Ie - we can't use a subtype, and we can't implement IExternalizable.Are there other options for registering custom type converters in LCDS, other than IExternalizable? Alternatively, are there any annotations we can use that indicate the type to be used for a collection?

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 need a calculator for a flex app I am making, and was wondering if there was any official widget prebuilt or already in good quality. I could make one myself but it would be nice to use one that already existed and had a nice api to customize it with.

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?

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 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'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 {

Simple question: I have numerous transitional xhtml pages marked up and ready to go. The code is basic but uses a few tags that are not recognized in Flash via HTML import- <h1>,<div> etc. Is there a best practice method for using this code without having to "dummy" down the code for use in Flash? Is there any advantage to importing the xhtml pages as XML and going that route or will I have the same problem?

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 followed an online tutorial and built an AS3 calculator for Flash. Works great, and I even figured out how to modify the code to add a clear button. The one issue is that, the way this is coded, one can only enter positive integers or zero (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3...) into the boxes (num1 and num2 in the code below). As in code below (lines 15-16), the tutorial suggests a clever code so that users won't be able to enter anything (e.g. letters) except numbers into the num1 and num2 boxes (restrict = "0-9").
The result is that one cannot enter a decimal place, and also that one cannot enter a negative number. How to modify the code below to allow decimal places and negative numbers to be entered in the num1 and num2 boxes? I suspect that another conflict in the code with this plan could be the "parseInt" statements near the bottom. I have posted the swf FYI at [URL].
ActionScript Code:
plus_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, plusClick);
minus_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, minusClick);
times_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, timesClick);
divide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, divideClick);
equal_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, equClick);
clear_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clearClick);

I have a list of items inside arrays containing names and prices. I want when i click a button it should go into ARRAY1 grab the name, then ARRAY2 grab the price and put it in a container box. If i click the same button again it should update the quantity field. Take a look at the image below. [URL]
Im trying to use a parent child system where when i click the button, it adds a movie clip child that contains 3 dynamic fields, to the main container and populates these fields with quantity based on how many times i click button 1 and then the name and the price will be multiplied by the quantity. If i click button 2 the same process repeats and at the end it shows the total of all items in the list.
