Animate numbers within a range using actionscript

[Sullan_1981]

Hi all,
well i am trying to create this simulation where in lot of numbers keep changing based on the time line. I find it really hard to manually animate the numbers frame by frame. Is there a way that i can specify a dynamic text and specify a range of 50-100 and then its starts generating the numbers automatically from 50,51,52... etc, and it should reach the end range at a specified frame.

If i follow this method, animating a number from 10-50 and 1-6 will happen in the timeline of 80 frames.

Please help..... Thanks in advance...

You can just use a setInterval function to count up. Then you can set an interval value that will get you the timing that you want to have. Something like the code below will change the number every .2 seconds. It requires a dynamic textfield named "numbers".

Thanks a lot...

But i am able to see the values when i put a trace command for maxCount and count, but when i put trace command for trace(numbers); i am getting some junk values like these..
"<p align="left"></p>"

how do i fix this ???

When i create a dynamic text field on runtime then its working out fine......

That junk that you were seeing in the trace is because you have html text selected for that textfield. You will just see the text as you expect in the actual textfield.
