CS3 Risk Calculator (AS2)

Question

So I have been working on a calculator to help me calculate
medical risks for patients. This will ultimately be a small part of
a larger calculator, but I need to get this working first. I have
an interface which has a drop-down for a Vessel Diameter. And there
are also checkboxes to account for additional risks. What I want to
do is have a "Total Risk" box dynamically reflect the changes from
the drop-down and the clicking of the checkboxes.

So far, I have assigned a boolean value to the checkboxes, as
well as a data value. The drop-down box has values as well
(including a multiplier). But with the event listeners applied to
each, the text doesn't update dynamically, and if you uncheck a
checkbox, the "Total" does not reflect that change. How can I write
a string to add all of these Variables together?

I finally got to a point where I could make sense and ask a
somewhat intelligent question now. Still an actionscript noob, so
be kind =). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you all!

From what you say it sounds like you need a function that adjusts a value based on selections made... such as...

var endResult:Number = 0;

function adjustValue(withThisNumber){
endResult += withThisNumber;
trace(endResult);
}
}

so in each change handler, you would put

adjustValue(withThisNumber);

where withThisNumber is the data that you want to affect the result with (turtuosityADD, etc).
