Nan help

[Datoshway]

I'm banging my head aginst the wall on this simple one. Please help. I'm getting a NAN in my text fields with this code from a button.. What the heck am I doing wrong?

on (release) {
_root.orderform.quantity1 = Number(_root.orderform.quantity1)+1;
_root.orderform.total1 = _root.orderform.quantity1*45;
}

try tracing out your variables..before you add them.. are you even finding/getting your variables?

I also suggest you dont use any OBJECT code any more.. (ie: putting CODE on the button itself).. all code SHOULD go in 1 frame (frame1) in the timeline..

and you should also never use _root.. use relative pathing to your data & objects(ie: this._parent........etc)

a quick test..shows this works just fine:

this is on _root:
var total1 = 2;
var quantity1 = 1;


this is button nested inside 1 clip


button.onPress = function() {
_root.quantity1 += 1;
trace("QTY: "+_root.quantity1);

_root.total1 = (_root.quantity1 * 45);
trace("TOTAL 2: "+_root.total1);
};



so really, ideally, your code should all be in frame 1..and look similar to this:

var total1 = 2;
var quantity1 = 1;


containerClip.button.onPress = function() {
quantity1 += 1;
trace("QTY: "+quantity1);

total1 = (quantity1 * 45);
trace("TOTAL 2: "+total1);
};
