conditionally adding numbers 1

[jefargrafx]

okay this works

this.onEnterFrame = function () {
Number(this.BG=(Number(this.BG10)+Number(this.BG01)+Number(this.BG02)+Number(this.BG03)+Number(this.BG04)+Number(this.BG05)+Number(this.BG06)+Number(this.BG07)+Number(this.BG08)+Number(this.BG09)));
}

however I don't have a clue on how to only add a number if a field meets a criteria?

if (this.BG01 <= 10) {
then add it
} else {
not
}

anyone ever do this before?

3 fields bg1 bg2 bg3

total = 0;

if (BG1>10){
total = total +bg1;
}
if (BG2>10){
total = total +bg2;
}
if (BG3>10){
total = total +bg3;
}
laborious but that will work

I see,

would this approach also work with multiple fields that are more than 10,

if any o f9 fields are more than 10, I do not waht to add them into the total?


what do you think

[billwatson]

work with any number of fields and any condition just add more fields and alter the if condition to suit.

here it is thanks to bill!


this.onEnterFrame = function () {
BG = 0;
if (BG01 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG01);
}
if (BG02 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG02);
}
if (BG03 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG03);
}
if (BG04 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG04);
}
if (BG05 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG05);
}
if (BG06 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG06);
}
if (BG07 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG07);
}
if (BG08 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG08);
}
if (BG09 < 7499.9){
BG = BG +Number(BG09);
}
}

one cookie for bill

thanks dude

Here's a more compact version that does the same thing.

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	BG = 0;
	for (var i = 0; i<10; i++) {
		val = Number(this['BG0'+i]);
		if (val<7499.9) {
			BG += val;
		}
	}
};

this will cycle throguh all ten field like bills does.

my problem is that I need to remove one or more field from the addtion if they are greater than 7499.9

let me know

It does that already in the 'if' statement.

 

[jefargrafx]

where as I don't get any syntac errors, this still doesn't
work

yall know why?

Number(this.youlegMC.totaltabsMC.TotalPVMC.BG = 0);
if (Number(this.youlegMC.newleg01MC.personalPVMC.BG10) < 7499.9){
Number(this.youlegMC.totaltabsMC.TotalPVMC.BG=(Number(this.youlegMC.totaltabsMC.TotalPVMC.BG)+Number(this.youlegMC.newleg01MC.personalPVMC.BG10)));
}
for (var i = 0; i<9; i++) {
val = Number(this['.newleg0'+i].MC.personalPVMC['.BG0'+i]);
if (val<7499.9) {
this.youlegMC.totaltabsMC.TotalPVMC.BG += val;
}
}

each field is in a differnet leg and they have different BG00 numbers? 1-9

leg 10 is the users leg

let me know

Couple of things...

Number(this.youlegMC.totaltabsMC.TotalPVMC.BG = 0);

...is a bit weird - you don't need Number here, its purpose is to convert string values etc into numbers (for instance if you load values in from a text file they will be interpreted as strings so you can use Number to explicitly state that they should be treated as numbers) - in this case since you're explicitly setting the value to zero it's already a number. It shouldn't break your code but it's burning CPU you could use elsewhere. Likewise when you use it later on in the 'if' statement.

'i' is never reaching 9 - is that deliberate? You set a value for 10 early on and the loop only gets as far as 8 because it's set as <9 not <=9.

val = Number(this['.newleg0'+i].MC.personalPVMC['.BG0'+i]);

...is probably the main problem as it's going to come out as this with double dots when the loop runs:

this..newleg01.MC.personalPVMC..BG01;

Lose the extra dots and it should be okay.

Hope this helps.
