Get/set values to dynamic/input textboxes?

1

I’m trying to set up a calculator for a couple of formulas I need to use for some schoolwork. I thought it would be a lot easier if I could just put the numbers in there and hit enter.

I can’t figure out how to transfer the numbers from the input box to the dynamic box though =/. I figured I’d try to get going really easy, just do a input box, when you click on a button, a dynamic box displays whatever is in the input box. I cant get it to work though :(. I tried various variations of codes, Heres some of them:

[AS]
this.btn.onRelease = function(){
this.outp.getProperty(this.inp)
}
//and
var myvalue = this.inp
this.btn.onRelease = function(){
this.outp = myvalue
}
//and
var myvalue = this.inp
this.btn.onRelease = function(){
setProperty(_root.outp, myvalue)
[/AS]

btn = the button
inp = input box
outp = output box

I couldn’t find any tutorial on this, so I just kind of tried a bunch of things hehe.

Any of these going in the right direction atleast :S?

Thanks a lot for your help :beer:!
