AS-subtotal and total of results quiz

[mleen]

Hi,
I need to develop a survey without using the learningcomponents.
On every frame there is a question with these options (static text)
0 points if it’s never happened to you
1 point if it’s happened once or twice
2 points if its happened 3-5 times
3 points if it’s happened more than 5 times

After this I have one input textfield, the user put the score in this field.
Than one button.
And one dynamic textfield.
When the user clicks on the button, the total score must be appears into the dynamic textfield. I've got a blanc result there and no errors in output.

Here the script, is this wrong?
Thanks for helping me.
mleen.

one input Text : instance MyScore, var: score
one dynamic Text: instance MyTotal, var: total
one button to get MyTotal: instance name myButton_btn

the script:

for the button:

code:

---

myButton_btn.onRelease=function(){

myTotal_txt.text=TotalScore();

}

---

intitialize (in seperate layer):

code:

---

var score=0;

var totalNumber=0;

TotalScore=Number(score)+Number(total);

the main thing that jumps out at me is that in your button onRelease you reference
TotalScore()
the () parenthesis denote a reference to the a function called TotalScore, yet TotalScore is never defined as a function.

to make it work the way you set out
change your frame action:
TotalScore=Number(score)+Number(total);
to

code:

---

TotalScore=function(){

return Number(score)+Number(total)

}

although i totally endorse functions for code that will be used over and over, in this case you seem to only be adding 2 variables. i would skip the function altogether and simply have your button action do this:

code:

---

myButton_btn.onRelease=function(){

myTotal_txt.text=Number(score)+Number(total);

}
