Flash Develop

Hi Ned, Thanks for the reply. This is a task i am doing for uni. I only have to code the cm to inches part. I have tried different things to get it to work but currently cant even get the cursor to come up so i can enter the cm!! Below is the current version i was working on. It is tab 4 which contains the cm to inches converter. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks again.
