Hi,
If "yourTextBox" is the instance name of your input text box. Then ....

//some variables to hold you answers.
var total, finalTotal =0;

//So first loop through your input string add up the numbers and store the 
//result in the variable "firstTotal".

for(var i = 0;i<yourTextBox.length;i++){
	firstTotal+=Number(yourTextBox.charAt(i));
}

//Next turn "firstTotal" into a string
var newString = String(firstTotal);

//then loop the new string add up the numbers and store the result in the variable "finalTotal".

for(var i = 0;i<newString.length;i++){
	finalTotal+=Number(newString.charAt(i));
}

The final number you want will now be in the variable named finalTotal.
I am sure there are other ways but this is a pretty easy way.

thank you for your help
is not working yet because i create a button and i insert the code inside, i create also a box with a finalTotal. when i press the button he reads the yourTextBox and it places the result in finalTotal box, but the finalTotal box says that is NaN. thats not logic because we say that firstTotal is a string and not the finalTotal.

can we change that?

thank you

Hi again.
Here is an example that you can use with a button event.

your text input box has the instance name "yourTextBox"
your text box to display the final answer has instance name "finalTotal"

And here is your button event to place in the button.

on(release){
var first, final = 0;
for(var i = 0;i<yourTextBox.length;i++){
	first+=Number(yourTextBox.text.charAt(i));
}
var newString = String(first);
for(var i = 0;i<newString.length;i++){
	final+=Number(newString.charAt(i));
}
finalTotal.text=final;
}

This works as I made an test using Flash MX (actionscript version 1).

Any problems just let me know

I felt like extending the idea a bit. This one keeps working until it gets a 1-digit number. For example: 1234567 outputs
1234567 = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28 = 2+8 = 10 = 1+0 = 1

code:

---

on(release){

	var curNum:Number;

	var input:String = _parent.input_txt.text;

	var output:String = input;

	do {

		output += " = ";

		curNum = 0;

		for(i = 0; i < input.length-1; ++i) {

			output += input.charAt(i)+"+";

			curNum += Number(input.charAt(i));

		}

		output += input.charAt(input.length-1);

		curNum += Number(input.charAt(input.length-1));

		input = String(curNum);

		output += " = "+curNum;

	} while(curNum >= 10);

	_parent.output_txt.text = output;

}

check this out

on (release) {
var myString:String = String(inputBox);
var myCount:Number = 0;
var myNumber:Number = 0;
var myCalc:String = "";
for (i=0; i<myString.length; i++) {
myNumber += Number(myString.charAt(i));
myCalc += "+"+myString.charAt(i);
}
myCount++;
trace("PASS #"+myCount+":")
trace("String = "+myString);
trace("Calculation = "+myCalc);
trace("Result = "+myNumber);
trace("-------------------");
myString = String(myNumber);
myNumber = 0;
myCalc = "";
for (i=0; i<myString.length; i++) {
myNumber += Number(myString.charAt(i));
myCalc += "+"+myString.charAt(i);
}
myCount++;
trace("PASS #"+myCount+":")
trace("String = "+myString);
trace("Calculation = "+myCalc);
trace("Result = "+myNumber);
trace("-------------------");
outputBox=myNumber;
}

works (a genius guy like you help me out too!)

Thank you
