Hello,

I’m a complete newbie to actionscript3. I’ve gotten these sliders to work but can’t get the output values to add up. For instance, depending on the values for slider 1, 2 and 3, I need the total to show up in a separate text box. I keep getting a NaN message in the text box.

Any help in getting this to work would be deeply appreciated. Here’s the code I have so far:

//item 1  
sliderOne.width = 600;  
sliderOne.value = 0;  
sliderOne.minimum = 0;  
sliderOne.maximum = 10000;  
sliderOne.tickInterval = 100;  
sliderOne.snapInterval = 100;  
sliderOne.liveDragging = true;  
sliderOne.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sliderChanged);  
function sliderChanged(evt:Event):void {  
txtOne.text = “” +(sliderOne.value);  
}

// item 2  
sliderTwo.width = 600;  
sliderTwo.minimum = 0;  
sliderTwo.maximum = 16000;  
sliderTwo.value = 0;  
sliderTwo.tickInterval = 100;  
sliderTwo.snapInterval = 100;  
sliderTwo.liveDragging = true;  
sliderTwo.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sliderChanged2);  
function sliderChanged2(evt:Event):void {  
txtTwo.text = “” +(sliderTwo.value);  
}

//item 3

sliderThree.width = 600;  
sliderThree.minimum = 0;  
sliderThree.maximum = 20000;  
sliderThree.value = 0;  
sliderThree.tickInterval = 250;  
sliderThree.snapInterval = 250;  
sliderThree.liveDragging = true;  
sliderThree.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sliderChanged3);  
function sliderChanged3(evt:Event):void {  
txtThree.text = “” +(sliderThree.value);  
}

//TOTAL  
var total:Number = 0;  
var totalOne = sliderOne;  
totalOne.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sliderOne1);  
function sliderOne1(evt:Event):void {  
total += totalOne;  
total\_txt.text = String (total);  
}

totalTwo.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sliderTwo1);  
function sliderTwo1(evt:Event):void {  
total += totalTwo;  
total\_txt.text = String (total);  
}

totalThree.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sliderThree1);  
function sliderThree1(evt:Event):void {  
total += totalThree;  
total\_txt.text = String (total);  
}
