Object array help please!

Alright. With the help of Supra long ago, I got this project started. However, upon revamping it, I can’t get it to work. That’s where you come in.
<:}

<dl><dt>What you need to know:

<dd><li>This is a program I’m developing for a closet shelving company, which is supposed to let the user go in, add the shelves to a particular job, print out a “cut sheet” to give to the shelf cutter, and print out an invoice for the job that was created. To view more information about the beginnings of this program, view an old post <b><a href=“http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1187” target="_blank">here</a></b>.

<li>I got the program working, added a ton of stuff to it, but then realized that it was terribly arranged and coded. Therefore, I recently decided to rip it apart and make it better. In doing so, however, I messed up some functionality that I can’t seem to get back.

<li>Prior to having multiple scenes, I had just one scene, “job.” I thought this was incredibly unorganized, so I wanted to separate each different frame of the program into separate scenes. You will still see the original frames in the “job” scene, which I just copied over to the new scenes. And just so you know, the code in the new scenes is indeed different, and the code from the original “job” scene may not be the original working code either. I can’t remember what I changed in that.

<dt>The problem:

<dd><li>What the user should be able to do is this:
. In the “shelfmanager” scene
. Type in the room, length of the shelf, style, etc.
. Click Add (or hit enter) to add the current shelf to an object array called shelfList
. The array will be viewed in the big corresponding textbox

<li>For some reason, the data being entered is not getting stored into the object array. And I have no idea why. Everything looks good to me, but it’s just not working.

<li>The main code to look at is that which is attached to the “Add” button, and in the keyframe on the “actions” layer.</dl>

Here is a link to the FLA: <b><a href=“http://www.fallingforautumn.net/other/pictures/shelfmaker.fla”>shelfmaker.fla</a></b> (approx. 600k)

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this. All you guys are awesome, and I don’t think you get enough credit for all the help that is given out here. And once I become somewhat decent enough, I’ll return the favor and help others too.

Once again thanks in advance,
Matt

I actually don’t have a lot of time these weeks to look at a project… so I probebly wont be much help on this one. I can say though that multiple scenes are tricker to work with than having everything in a single scene. I don’t even bother to use more than one except in strange circumstances.

frame labels add just as much organization to a project and tend to be easier to manage with gotoAndPlay();. gotoAndStop(); methods.
