I would like to make a calculator in Flash but I don’t have a clue where to start. Can somebody point me in the right direction or a thread where I could suggest someone write a tutorial for it?

Thanks!!!😃

the best way I would say from experience is to make a simple one first on your own and then keep adding to that. So you can make every number a variable like 1=1, 2=2, etc … then have the screen of the calculator be a dynamic text box. So if say you wanted to work on adding first you can then use the “eval” script. So eval(“1” + “3”); … that way you can load the result of this calculation in the dynamic text box which is your screen on the calculator. So once you get that the rest is a breeze b/c you just substitute the “+” with \* or - or etc

your right … but it should point him in the right direction to be able to experiment enough to where he can get some stuff going and slowly over time add to it
