[F8] A selective check button!

[Frank Mango]

My problem is this.
A sum of money is attached to the screen. This sum is comprised of images of various coins . The user is to add up the coins and fill in an Input text field with that calculation.If they are right they move on to the next combination.
Everything works except .21 (Twenty one cents). Twenty works and twenty two works .Other sums work as well.
The check is accomplished by a "Conditional statement",triggered by an onRelease event.
I am wondering if it is a good idea to uninstall "Flash from time to time as the only thing I can figure is that the programme has somehow become corrupt over the past number of years.
Let me know what you think
Thanks

This may be nothing but have you tried using Math.round(); within your condition statement?

[Frank Mango]

myBtn.onPress = function() {
ted = Math.floor(Math.random()*my_Array.length);
trace(ted);
username_txt.text = my_Array[ted];
if (username_txt.text == .21)
{
trace("it's working");
}
else
{
trace("it's not");
}
};
This is an example of the problem I am having.Whenever .21 is the number in the text field I get the "trace" from the "else"

I can't figure it out .Other numbers put into the field will display a "it's working".
Thanks

Very strange! Can u please upload your FLA....so that we can have a look at it?

Hmmm... interesting

[whispers]

well Im not sure what it is your doing..... is most of the code..

but if you check a text field for its data.. its treated as a string...

hence you need to check for a string.. (ie: ".21")...

Im not sure why the other stuff is working... and this is not..

if the array is a number that you pass in...then the text field will show

myArray = [.21, .33];
username_txt.text = myArray[0];
trace(username_txt.text);

// traces 0.21

which is what you'd need to check for...

if (username_txt.text == "0.21") {
trace("it's working");
} else {
trace("it's not");
}
