hey how do you tell flash when a number is positive and negative?
i have thing number input text field where there’s another selection field on the side where users can select a - or +.
if the user select a -, i need to let flash know the number in the input text field is a negative.
there’s plenty of possibility i don’t even know how it goes, but my script looks a little like this:
//// false = negative, true = positive
var selection:Boolean = false
myMC.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(selection == false){
result.text = Number(inputField.text) //but in negative//
} else {
if(selection == true){
result.text = Number(inputField.text) //but in positive//
}
}
sorry for making it so long, i just wanna make sure you guys know what i’m talking about 
help me out!
note: the number HAS to be negative, there’s some other calculation going afterwards, i can’t just fake it with a string “-”.
