It has the Multiply, Divide, Plus & Minus buttons. When i input the code for one button, that button works, but when i input the code for more than one, none of the buttons work. What am I doing wrong? Download Calculate.fla Code: MinusButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMyCalculation); function doMyCalculation(e:MouseEvent):void {    var total : Number;    // PROCESS    total = Number(N1.text)-Number(N2.text);    // OUTPUT    total.text = String(myAnswer); }; MultiplyButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMyCalculation); {    var total : Number;    // PROCESS    total = Number(N1.text)*Number(N2.text);    // OUTPUT    total.text = String(myAnswer); }; DivideButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMyCalculation); {    var total : Number;    // PROCESS    total = Number(N1.text)/Number(N2.text);    // OUTPUT    total.text = String(myAnswer); }; PlusButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMyCalculation); {    var total : Number;    // PROCESS    total = Number(N1.text)+Number(N2.text);    // OUTPUT    total.text = String(myAnswer); } Thanks guys

I'm no programming expert, but I know flash is very picky about things like that. Yes, "*" is the universal symbol for multiplication in computing. ObviousObscurity Posted at 9:47 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 I don't do flash, but [this got a little tangled in my head, to be honest..] why'd you copy and paste the code again? It looks like it should just be MultiplyButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMyCalculation); DivideButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMyCalculation); etc? That's my closest guess. the documentation seems to show that function being used that way. 4est Posted at 9:45 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Are you sure that '*' is an acceptable character for use in flash?
