Hello everyone,
I just signed up to this forum after a friend recommended it. I am very new to Flash and 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. As I am a Flash dummy, this has confused me :-/ I also need to understand what code is required for the Reset button… yeah I need a lot of advice!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

var num:Number;
function Calc() {
num1 = Input1_txt.text;
num2 = Input2_txt.text;
num3 = Input3_txt.text;
num4 = Input4_txt.text;
num5 = Input5_txt.text;
Output1.text = (num2*num3);
Output2.text = (num3*num4);
Output3.text = (num5/Output2);
Output4.text = (Output3/num1);
Output5.text = (Output4/4.3);
Output6.text = (Output4/52);
OutputA.text = (num1);
OutputB.text = (num1*4.3);
OutputC.text = (12*OutputB);
OutputD.text = (OutputA*Output1);
OutputE.text = (OutputB*Output1);
OutputF.text = (OutputC*Output1);
OutputG.text = (num4*OutputA);
OutputH.text = (OutputG)*4.3;
OutputI.text = (12*OutputH);
OutputJ.text = (OutputA*Output2);
OutputK.text = (OutputB*Output2);
OutputL.text = (OutputC*Output2);
