Adding Or Subtracting 1 Or Any Number To Your Variable.
_level0.book.gotoAndStop(_level0.page++);
I have my input field called page that I type a number into it and it will make the book movie instance goto that frame number thats in the page input field. Problem is that the frame it goes to is 1 less than the frame i want it to go to.
If I type in 5 in the input field, it makes the book movie go to frame 5 but I want it to go to frame 6 so I am trying to add 1 to it.
Also how would I make it go 1 less.
Also what ever number less or more I want it to go to. Like 6 more than whats type in the page input field.
Thanks

Subtracting A Variable From A Number
Okay, first off I'm fairly new to this sort of actionscripting, so go easy
I'm having a mental block with this and I'm sure I'm just missing something really simple.
I'm trying to build a dynamic graphic scroller from scratch. Now I've gotten the buttons to shift the graphic up and down by increments - no problems there. My issue comes when I try to set limits on the distance that the graphic scrolls to. The minimum scroll down is no problem; that's just the start co-ordinates of the graphic. The maximum scroll value though is giving me a headache. I basically don't want to have to input a different value for each object being scrolled.
So this is what I figured; if I can subtract the _height of the graphic, from the depth of the bottom edge mask (which is 338px down the stage), it should produce the maximum scroll position in pixels for the graphic. I can set these values manually and the buttons work, so the problem isn't there.
The best I've managed yet is...
_root.maximumScroll = (_root.content._height - 338)
This works providing the _root.content._height bit is less than 338, but everything goes weired when it spits out a negative number.
Can anyone show me where I'm going wrong?

Subtracting X Pos To An Always Positive Number
I need to compare the x position of two movie clips on the stage for an if statement, but the clips can go anywhere (with a positive or negative ._x value).
I want to compare how far they are and if they are close to each other than execute code, but the problem is the value can be either positive or negative because the right object can move to the left of the left object. I don't want to clutter the code with multiple if statements if I can avoid it.
Is there a Math method or to always return a positive number or to intervert a negative into a positive?
Is there some other way that I could accomplish my goal of determining if two objects are the specified distance?
Code:
leftPosition=10;
rightPosition=20;
comparePosition= leftPosition -= rightPosition;// returns a negative number
trace(comparePosition);//-10
//
if (comparePosition>9){// the if statement should determine the max pixels they are apart regardless of the object's relative position
//do something
}
else{
trace("Need to make positive");
}

Adding A Number At End Of Variable Name
Hey all,
i hope that this is a really easy problem to sort out. I want to be able to add a number dynamically at the end of a variable. This code work fine at the moment;
_root.orderItem1 = _root.itemTitle[0]
_root.orderPrice1 = _root.itemPrice[0]
orderItem1 and orderPrice1 are displayed in a text box. However I want to be able to add a number at the end of the variable name based on another variable named _root.orderNumItems
so the 1 and [0] values i want replaced with the number stored in _root.orderNumItems (the 0 will obviously be _root.orderNumItems-1)
I thought i could just write
_root.orderItem[_root.orderNumItems] = _root.itemTitle[_root.orderNumItems-1]
but flash doesnt like it, please help me as i dont want to just write the code hundreds of times over for each number,
cheers

Adding/Subtracting Calculator
I am creating a calculator in flash that lets the end user type in 3 separate amounts (qty1_txt, qty2_txt, qty3_txt) that while you are typing it is being added up into the amount category (priceTotal_txt) and in another amount category (qty4_txt).
OK, now this is where it gets tricky... Along with (qty4_txt) there is another input area (qty5_txt) that will let you SUBTRACT this amount from (qty4_txt) and gives you a new amount in a new area (priceTotal_txt2). These amounts need to be added and subtracted while the person is typing. How can I get the amount ((qty4_txt) to Subtract (aty5_txt) separtately?
The client doesn't want a "Calculate" button... I wish they did because I can get that to work with no issues!
This is what I have so far.
var input1 = 1;
var input2 = 1;
var input3 = 1;
//Calculate quantity times price
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
priceTotal_txt.text = Number(qty1_txt.text)*Number(input1)+Number(qty2_t xt.text)*Number(input2)+Number(qty3_txt.text)*Numb er(input3);
qty4_txt.text = Number(qty1_txt.text)*Number(input1)+Number(qty2_t xt.text)*Number(input2)+Number(qty3_txt.text)*Numb er(input3);
};
Also, if anyone knows how I can make this thing keep the zeros after the decimal points, I would greatly appreciate it. (e.g. $49.50) Its showing up as $49.5
thanks!

Adding And Subtracting Should Be Simple
I'm trying to have a dollar amount appear in a text field that also up or down based on their answer; in short a score.
But the initial amount will not display at any point in the txtBudget field nor will it add or subtract correctly based on what the trace statements are telling me. I'm missing something here and I can't quite put my finger on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Attach Code
//FRAME 1
var Budget:Number = 100000;
txtBudget.text = "$" + Budget;
//trace(Budget);
//FRAME 2 (repeats in similar fashion in rest of main time line)
function AnswerTree1()
{
//you can ignore the AnswerPath value for now, they are a part of something else)
if(AnswerPath == -1)
{
//ignore the ._visible changes too, they are also a part of something else
mcProgress.n1b._visible = true;
mcProgress.n3._visible = true;
Budget - 25000;
UpdateBudget();
}
if(AnswerPath == 1)
{
mcProgress.n1a._visible = true;
mcProgress.n2._visible = true;
Budget + 25000;
UpdateBudget();
}
}
function UpdateBudget()
{
txtBudget.txt = Budget;

Animation Adding And Subtracting?
Couldnt think of a name for what I want to do so Ill explain...
THIS is a quote engine for a client who specialises in digital print.
The user basically chooses their required print job specs and eventually they'll get emailed their quote.
In the space top right I want to add some animations that play on each button rollOver...which I can do no problem, except for when it comes to choosing the quantity, if possible, can I have say 4 boxes appear when then hover over 400, then when they move to 300 can one of them boxes be animated out (like you're taking it away, or if the hover over say 500, another box animates in to join the original 4 if that makes sense. I gather it is possible but Im unsure how to go about it......have each box as a separate MC but what AS would make them add and subtract themselves?
Hope that makes sense!

Flash Adding And Subtracting Gives Crazy Figures
HI all,
i have had this problem before, adding and subtracting values in a shopping cart, but cant remember how i solved it!!
i am merely adding and subtracting values on the basis of press a "+" button to increase an amount of an item by one in your shopping cart and press the "-" button to decrease the amount by one.
I have a total box that adds up all the individual total sections
standard so far and indeed the code on the buttons is very simple
"+" button
//=============
on (release) {
subtotal = subtotal + 9.99
}
//=============
"-" button
//=============
on (release) {
subtotal = subtotal - 9.99
}
//=============
As you can see, simple stuff - the problem occurs when i click the add button 3 items or more and then the subtract button to get back to zero items, when i click to reduce from 9.99 to 0 i get a negative number -3.5527.
adding 1 item and then taking away 1 item gives subtotal 0
adding 2 items and then taking away 2 item gives subtotal 0
adding 3 items and taking away 3 items gives subtotal -3.5527
Can anyone tell me why this is ?
Does flash suddenly not know how to subtract 9.99 from 9.99
????
Thanks in advance

Problem Subtracting One Variable From Another
Hi guys,
I'm having some problems subtracting one variable from another.
Both are number variables.
The 1st variable comes from a getTimer, when the Space bar is hit
the 2nd variable also from a getTimer, the time when a movie is at a certain coordinate.
CameraView is a car movie, and collision is basically a movie that the user has to break (hit Spacebar), and their reaction time is measured.
I just know I've done something silly!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Here is the code:
obstacle = function(){
zposition = cameraView.z;
xposition = cameraView.x;
if (cameraView.x >=-450 and cameraView.x <=450 and cameraView.z >=3000 and camera.z <=3500){
collision.x = 0;
collision.z = 3500;
collision.y = 20;
if (collision.x==0 and collision.z==3500){
var timercollision:Number =getTimer();
obstacle = timercollision;
var diff:Number = (timer - timercollision);
difference.text = diff;
}
}
}
cameraView.onEnterFrame = obstacle;

Random Number Variable That's Different From Previous Number
I have this line of code in my game that works great. However it would work even better if when it the code was executed the next random number was not the same as the one before it. For example if "speech" is on frame 6 when the code is executed I would like the random number to be between 2 and 12 but not 6. (I don't want the same frame to come up as it confuses the kindergarteners and preschoolers using the program.) Here's the code that's working for me now.
ActionScript Code:
speech.gotoAndStop(Math.floor(Math.random()*11)+2);

Adding 1 To A NUMBER
Hi. I want to be able to add/subtract 1 to a number that is in a dynamic text box, when the user presses the up or down arrows (up to add down to subtract). I know how to control the up and down arrows, my problem is adding 1. I can't seem to mathematically add 1... I can make it so that when the user clicks the up arrow, it adds a 1 to whatever was in it before, so basically, if the contents was 02 before, it would turn into 021... But I want it to go from 02 to 03, or 02 to 01! HOW CAN I DO THIS?!?!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Adding An Automated Version Number On Compile
Hi there,
I'm currently working on a Flash based internet application that customers subscribe to. We have been looking into possible ways of adding a version no. to the application at compile time - this way we can track which version people are currently using.
Has anyone got any ideas on how this could be possible? Most things that I have tried change on run-time and we really do need something that will be set in concrete (at least until a developer next compiles a new version).
I'm trying to get away from having to manually add a version number (as most developers will probably forget to change it each time) - keeping it automated would be so much better.
Any suggestions would be great.

Please Help, How Do I Get The Frame Number A MC Is On To Set As A Variable?
I have some buttons that I want to trigger a remote rollover effect on. So far it works, but I want to do more with it to make it look good. Let me explain what i am trying to do...
I have a movie clip (the instance is called "vault", as in a vault door opening or closing) and it contains the following:
frame 1: stop action, graphics for vault doors are closed
frame 2-15: no action, vault doors remain closed
frame 16: no action, vault doors begin to open
frame 26: stop action, vault doors finish opening.
frame 27: no action, vault doors start to close.
frame 33: stop action, vault doors finish closing.
this is the code I am using on a button, it also loads a photo under the vault doors, but that works fine so it is not important.
Code:
on(rollOver){
vault.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.photos.loadMovie("goutton.jpg");
}
on(rollOut){
vault.gotoAndPlay(27);
_root.photos.unloadMovie("goutton.jpg");
}
It works, but the reason i have that delay in frame 2-15 is because i want the user to be able to settle on a button to choose before they begin to open. The problem is, if you mouse over and out fast, it slams shut without opening.
So what I want to do is make some kind of code like: IF vault is on frame 16-26 (opening or opened), then play the close animation. Obviously i don't need it to play the close animation if it never got to the open state, it just looks bad.
So, if someone can tell me if this is possible, and how to do it, that would be great! I am guessing i need to make some kind of variable and set the current movie clip frame number (upon rollOut) to that variable, and then i can say if it is between a certain frame number, do the close action (and if not, nothing). but i don't know if that is possible. if there's another way to do it let me know too. thanks.
