Arrays with Actionscript3

-2

Im relatively new to Actionscript3. I am trying to make a simple calculator that takes different values from the textbox objects on the stage and multiply them to give the result in other text boxes. I am trying this in Flash CS6. Screenshot of the .FLA file. How would I implement the following code using arrays?

    var txtbox:TextFormat=new TextFormat();

    txtbox.size = 11;

    txtbox.bold = true;



    value1.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    value2.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    value3.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    value4.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    value5.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

  multiplier.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);



    result1.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    result2.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    result3.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    result4.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

    result5.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);





 compute.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calBtn);

    function calBtn(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

         var myArray:Array = int(value1),int(value2),int(value3),int(value4),int(value5)];



var m:Number=Number(multiplier.text);



var r1:Number = int((value1*m)*1000)/1000;

var r2:Number = int((value2*m)*1000)/1000;

var r3:Number = int((value3*m)*1000)/1000;

var r4:Number = int((value4*m)*1000)/1000;

var r5:Number = int((value5*m)*1000)/1000;



result1.text=String(r1);

result2.text=String(r2);

result3.text=String(r3);

result4.text=String(r4);

result5.text=String(r5);

     }

  The user has to enter values in the different text boxes in the values column. The number with which these values have to be multiplied is entered in the text box in the multiplier column and the resulting for each value has to be displayed in the respective text boxes in the result column. This works with the code i have posted. But when I use the array it gives me the following error : "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type fl.controls:TextInput to an unrelated type Number.". P.S. - I mixed up the original code i posted, updated the code i used. My bad, i am sorry.

The error you are getting is telling you that you're using a TextInput like it's a Number.

Looking through your code, we can see that is indeed what is happening:

int(value1)  //value1 presumably is a TextInput, and can't be converted to an int



//and later...

int((value1*m) //value1 is a TextInput, and can't be multiplied

What you need to do, is convert the text property of the TextInput into a Number first, then do your math. (just like you're currently doing with the multiplier text box)

int(value1.text) * m

There are few other issues with your code though, like how you're creating your array.
Here is a potential refactoring

var txtbox:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

    txtbox.size = 11;

    txtbox.bold = true;



//put all the text inputs and in an array so you don't have to repeat the same code so much

var textInputs:Array = [value1,value2,value3, value4, value5];

var textOutputs:Array = [result1, result2, result3, result4, result5];



//set the style in a for loop

for(var i:int=0;i<textInputs.length;i++){

    textInputs[i].setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

}



multiplier.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);



compute.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calBtn);



function calBtn(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    var m:Number=Number(multiplier.text);

    //make sure the multiplier is a valid number

    if(isNaN(m)){

        //do something here to tell the user they entered something invalid

        return; //don't keep going in this function

    }



    //loop through each text input

    for(var i:int=0;i<textInputs.length;i++){

        //convert text input value to number

        var num:Number = int(textInputs[i].text);



        //check if the input is valid

        if(!isNaN(num)){

            textOutputs[i].text = String( (num * 1000) / 100 );

        }else{

            textOutputs[i].text = "Invalid Number";

        }

    }

 }

  Thank you very much for all your help, i managed to solve the problem!!! I did not use if statements to check if only numbers are entered in the boxes as i restricted the properties of all the input boxes in the property panel of each box to "0-9 ." So only numbers can be entered and the input boxes wont accept any other input, so there was no need to code checking for the type of input.

This problem is now solved. I have posted the code here so that others with a similar problem can use it as reference. I have also posted a screenshot of the result here.

var txtbox:TextFormat=new TextFormat();

txtbox.size = 11;

txtbox.bold = true;



var textInputs:Array = [value1,value2,value3,value4,value5];

var textOutputs:Array = [result1,result2,result3,result4,result5];



for (var i:Number=0; i<textInputs.length; i++)

{

    textInputs[i].setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

}



multiplier.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);



for (var j:Number=0; j<textOutputs.length; j++)

{

    textOutputs[j].setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

}



compute.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calBtn);

function calBtn(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    var m:Number=Number(multiplier.text);



for (var i:Number=0;i<textInputs.length;i++)

{

    var num:Number = Number(textInputs[i].text);

    textOutputs[i].text = String(int((num*m)*1000)/1000);

}

  Thank you very much for all your help, i managed to solve the problem!!! I did not use if statements to check if only numbers are entered in the boxes as i restricted the properties of all the input boxes in the property panel of each box to "0-9 ." So only numbers can be entered and the input boxes wont accept any other input, so there was no need to code checking for the type of input.

The error you are getting is telling you that you're using a TextInput like it's a Number.

Looking through your code, we can see that is indeed what is happening:

int(value1)  //value1 presumably is a TextInput, and can't be converted to an int



//and later...

int((value1*m) //value1 is a TextInput, and can't be multiplied

What you need to do, is convert the text property of the TextInput into a Number first, then do your math. (just like you're currently doing with the multiplier text box)

int(value1.text) * m

There are few other issues with your code though, like how you're creating your array.
Here is a potential refactoring

var txtbox:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

    txtbox.size = 11;

    txtbox.bold = true;



//put all the text inputs and in an array so you don't have to repeat the same code so much

var textInputs:Array = [value1,value2,value3, value4, value5];

var textOutputs:Array = [result1, result2, result3, result4, result5];



//set the style in a for loop

for(var i:int=0;i<textInputs.length;i++){

    textInputs[i].setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

}



multiplier.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);



compute.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calBtn);



function calBtn(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    var m:Number=Number(multiplier.text);

    //make sure the multiplier is a valid number

    if(isNaN(m)){

        //do something here to tell the user they entered something invalid

        return; //don't keep going in this function

    }



    //loop through each text input

    for(var i:int=0;i<textInputs.length;i++){

        //convert text input value to number

        var num:Number = int(textInputs[i].text);



        //check if the input is valid

        if(!isNaN(num)){

            textOutputs[i].text = String( (num * 1000) / 100 );

        }else{

            textOutputs[i].text = "Invalid Number";

        }

    }

 }

This problem is now solved. I have posted the code here so that others with a similar problem can use it as reference. I have also posted a screenshot of the result here.

var txtbox:TextFormat=new TextFormat();

txtbox.size = 11;

txtbox.bold = true;



var textInputs:Array = [value1,value2,value3,value4,value5];

var textOutputs:Array = [result1,result2,result3,result4,result5];



for (var i:Number=0; i<textInputs.length; i++)

{

    textInputs[i].setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

}



multiplier.setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);



for (var j:Number=0; j<textOutputs.length; j++)

{

    textOutputs[j].setStyle("textFormat",txtbox);

}



compute.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calBtn);

function calBtn(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    var m:Number=Number(multiplier.text);



for (var i:Number=0;i<textInputs.length;i++)

{

    var num:Number = Number(textInputs[i].text);

    textOutputs[i].text = String(int((num*m)*1000)/1000);

}

}
