autorefresh text fields

[DikkeHamster]

Hello, I'm a real nub when it comes to actionscript.
I'm trying to make some sort of calculator but I dont know how I can
change the output in my dynamic text field when a value from the input changes.

Is this with on(change) or something?
And how do I script with text fields?
I have experience in Java and C and I'm using AS2.0 because otherwise I couldn't
give variables to my text fields and CS5.

I'm also doing a calculator, for do the calculated number I did:

var calculated:Number = 0;

Than for add the number I did:

one_num.onPress = function(){
	_root.keyOn = "one";
	if(keyOn == "one"){
		add_num.onPress = function(){
			_root.calculated = calculated + 1;
		}
		less_num.onPress = function(){
			_root.calculated = calculated - 1;
		}
}

What I did was, that pressing "1" on the calculator, it activate the variable keyOn, than keyOn identify for me what number is, so I did "one", than if is one, pressing on the button with "+" he add 1 and pressing on the button with "-" he subtract 1. I also did division and multiplication, than you use / and *.

Hope this helped.

Hmm, but I don't want to work with any buttons, maybe just a reset one.

And it's not really a mathematical calculater, it's for an mmo.
So one just needs to fill in how many units of this gives that amount of rating.

Anyway, thanks, maybe I can still use your method!

For the reset button like the "Ce" from the calculator is pretty simple, is just:

ce_btn.onPress = function(){
         _root.calculated = 0;
}

I think you need to explain better in detail what you are trying to do. Your first post indicates that you want to make a calculator, i.e. where user inputs numbers and the calculator outputs the result. But this post now seems to indicate something different. So please explain better what you exactly want to do.
