I need to add up numbers in director

[directorguy]

hi folks,
I am creating a page in my program where I need to add a column of numbers entered by the user. It's going to be real simple like "how much do you want to contribute to this $_____" Is there an easy way or any way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It is pretty simple, try this:-

on mouseUp me

member("total").text = string(member"amount1").text.value + member("amount2").text.value + member("amount3").text.value + member("amount4").text.value + member("amount5").text.value + member("amount6").text.value + member("amount7").text.value)

set the floatPrecision = 2
put string(100.0 / 10.0) into temp
set the itemdelimiter = "."
put the number of chars of item 2 of temp into total
repeat while total < the floatPrecision
put "0" after item 2 of temp
put the number of chars of item 2 of temp into total
end repeat
end

'total' is the text field which will display the total on the stage. 'temp' is a text field which does not appear on the stage but is used to store the string.
Give it a try, it should solve your problem, as it were.
