Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to code text fields in Flash (and I’m new to Action Script, at least in going beyond basic interactivity). Problem is, this is for a client and I’m on a deadline.

The user has to type a particular number in a textfield, then a particular number in a second textfield. The numbers are automatically added and in a third textfield, the answer is displayed. There are other examples in the exercise where four or five numbers have to be added, and in one case a couple numbers are multiplied.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,  
Glenn
