    Code for dropdown menus calculating a result based on information entered

    melaniesamazing Community Member

      I need to build an ad with 4 drop-down menus that would calculate a result based on information implemented by the user. An example of one of the drop downs could be the age of the user. Each combination will result in a group/category result. I am by no means an expert in Flash, obviously, and wanted to try to reach out here and see if anyone has any guidance/help/templates/websites to offer in assistance to building something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for your help in advance.

          Sinceb you don't appear to have done/tried anything as yet, what I suggest is that you set in on getting some of the basic functionality done before you try to predefine the entire detailed design... forget about about the drop down aspect for now and focus on just one of the elements and how the information it asks for gets presented and processed.  Create it as a movieclip symbol so that later on you can tackle the drop down aspect, but for now just focus on the information processing end of it.  Then do the same for any other panels and follow that up with whatever processing ties them all into whatever result you intend of them.  When you run into trouble with specific code aspects, present the code and the intention for it.
