RPG Health Text ?

[hooligan2001]

I just quickly whiped up an example to help me explain my question.

This is totally coded wrong but its the effect i want

What i want to know is how do you make the wave effect to text when health has been taken off.

Heres an example.

Press Space to remove health. I do realise that if you hold down SPACE the numbers continue to change but it was a 1 min job just to show as an example

So what i want is when the character gets hit , the script to generate a numbe and place the number in the wave.

It is seriously coded basic. Its more movieclip then action script.

It was just an example but ill post the fla if you really want me too...

You see what it does right know is when i press space it choose's 3 random numbers between 0 and 9. Example number1 = 9 number2 = 5 number3 = 0 and it places each individual number in a text box. Labeled Hundreds Tens Ones and the textboxes are animated to give the wave effect.

so the numbers are totally random. But what i want is when you press space the health to be taken off is to be calculated correctly depending on a number of things, level of character the strength of character and so on.

So just say the Level of the character is 10 and the strength is 4.

Level = 10;
Strength = 4;

minusHealth = (level * stregnth)* random(5)+1;

Just say the computer chooses 5 for a random number. The health to be taken off will equal 200.

So 200 will be taken off. But thats not the problem the problem is breaking up the whole number into hundreds tens and ones.

eg
Hundreds = 2;
Tens = 0;
Ones = 0;

Ow and another thing just say 10 is the final number of health which the equation works out.

Hundreds = 0;
Tens = 1;
Ones = 0;

How do i make the hundreds colum blank ? instead of placing zero in the Hundreds colum.

Would i check to see wether the number chosen is less then 100?

Does anyone know how i can do this. Its probally really simple im just being really lazy atm.
