Then there is something going on you're not telling us, as the script will
work with those inputs .. are you sure there.s not other characters in the
strings?

um i'm getting NaN when molInput.text = 0.0391 and titrationInput.text = 0.01630

you're welcome.

you are a living legend kglad and you get my favourite person of the day :D

thanks a million!!!

my knowledge is slowly building, and a lot of it is due to this forum, thx all!

thanks kglad that's the ticket!

it's all now making a little more sense, although i've still got to get my head around some of the code (but big thanks to all who helped out)

my latest file is now http://home.exetel.com.au/twistedpancreas/images/test9.fla

got one small additional question (and maybe it should be a new topic), but is there anyway for the first check button to check for all numbers within the random range of numbers and return them as the correct answer if typed into titration.text (ie titrationValue = any result within the range of 0.02050 to 0.02080)?

i hope that makes sense

try:

actually i've updated my file to resemble how the setup will work

see http://home.exetel.com.au/twistedpancreas/images/test8.fla

i now have input3 as iodine and it's now giving me an answer but i think it's stuck on trying to round the number down to 3 significant figures (ie 0.0210), thus the answer will always be incorrect at the moment

any help would be most appreciated

yeah sorry i was going to do that but our network here was mucking up

ok here it is http://home.exetel.com.au/twistedpancreas/images/test7.fla

post a link to your fla.

ooops input3 should be as:

this.input3 = roundToDecimalPlace((Number(input1.text)/Number(divisNum))/Number(input2.text),4);
trace(input3)

does that automatically make it a string?

because i tried

convertToNumber = Number(input3);
trace(convertToNumber)

i also tried

(typeof(input3));

(typeof(convertToNumber));

and was still getting NAN, or does (typeof(input3)) not appear in the Output window?

also, now, when you click the calculate button the answer is Correct no matter what the answer.
