Number Pyramid

[philrober]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to reproduce a classic number pyramid in flash.
Its basically 3 text fields in a row with 2 text fields above them and finally a single text field at the top making a pyramid.

As you enter numbers in the bottom 3 fields the boxes above will show their addition up to the top box.

Just like this example:

If anyone could point me to a .fla file or offer any help it would be appreciated.

Cheers
Phil

Hi people,

Ok I've got his and it seems to work fine:

on (release)
{
_root.outputtext = _root.inputone - - _root.inputtwo;
_root.outputtext2 = _root.inputtwo - - _root.inputthree;
_root.outputtext3 = _root.outputtext - - _root.outputtext2;

}

The only thing is the whole thing is controlled by a button,

How do I make the text box outputs update real time as I enter the 3 values?

Cheers
Phil
