Problem with action script calculations

I have a simple action script 3 code that will not calculate the correct answer on my PC. I'm running flash cs5 on Window 7 OS. I can move the file to another machine running flash cs4 and it works, but when I run it on my laptop, I get funky answers. see cold below. I have uninstalled and reinstalled cs5 , run the cleanscript for cs5 and cs4 to make sure everything was removed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash player. but nothing seems to work. Any help will be appreciated. It acts like Action Script 3 is corrupt or something else that related to Action Script 3. Everything else seems to work. I also have a preloader running with the same issue. It is should be showing the percentage completed but it go 2 5 50 4 32 or something funky like that. Please help.
the code I'm using.
function calculateTotal(evtObject:MouseEvent):void {
   var price:Number;
   var totalCost:Number;
   var numberOfJerseys:Number;
   if (jerseyType.text == "2") {
    price = 12;
      if (jerseyType.text == "1") {
    price = 10;
   if (playerNames.text == "Y" || playerNames.text == "y") {
    price += 1.50;
   numberOfJerseys = int(numberOfPlayers.text) +int(numberOfCoaches.text);
   totalCost = numberOfJerseys*price;
   total.text = String(totalCost);
calc_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculateTotal);
the preloader percentage is
var percent:int = amtLoaded*100
percent_txt.text = String(percent);

Problem with action script from Schewe and Frasier book.

I am working on a Photoshop CS3 action script to
open raw files, do a couple of modifications
in Camera Raw, exit camera raw and save
the file as a jpeg.
I think this should work, because I am working
on an example out of "Camera raw with Adobe
Photoshop CS3" by Schewe and Frasier which
shows the step recorded.
See page 344 of Schewe and Frasier.
In figure 9-11 you see, after the open
statement, 10 lines of details like
"As camera raw"
"Model:Canon 350d" etc.
I get the file path and name line, but
none of the other details reflecting
actions in Camera Raw.
The problem is that in setting up the action, none
of the steps done in camera raw after I do the
open get recorded.
And it works in my old CS version !
Out of frustration I repeated the action
script creation in my old CS version and
it worked fine.
Any idea where I am screwing up ?

Crappy format justification:
I sometimes have a day of family
type pictures that are in raw format
that I want to put up on the internet
quickly. I would like to be able to
apply the "Auto" feature, as in general
it seems to be pretty good for something
quick.
OK, it sorta works in CS, go here
http://www.angelplace.net/photos/sample.jpg
It sets up all of the details and gets the
"As camera raw" but opens the .dng file
rather than the Camera raw window.
The point is, these important settings
seem to be saved, which does not happen
in CS3.

Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
air for android only work with AS3,
the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
(it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
    submit.onRelease = function() {
        switch (yourname.text) {
        case "name1" :
            gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
        case "name2" :
            gotoAndStop(3);
            break;
My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

you should use the default option in the switch statement
that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                              switch (yourname.text)
                                        case "name1":
                                                  gotoAndStop(2);
                                                  break;
                                        case "name2":
                                                  gotoAndStop(3);
                                                  break;
                                        default:
                                                  goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                        break;

Problem with a script to remove graphics

Hello,
I have tried to build a javascript to remove all graphics whose extension is not ".EPS" (with "EPS" really in upper cases, as it is for Mathtype equations in Word import).
But It doesn't work and I can't understand why.
Here is the script:
//The script intend to remove all graphics whose extension is not ".EPS"
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myGraphics = myDoc.allGraphics
//Remove graphic if graphic extension is different from ".EPS"
for (var p = 0; p < myGraphics.length; p++) {
    var myImage = myGraphics[p]
    if (CheckExtEps(myImage) != 0){
    myImage.remove ()
//Compare graphic extension with ".EPS" and return myExtValue = 0 if it matches exactly
function CheckExtEps(myImage) {
    var myString = myImage.name
    myExt = myString.substr(myString.lastIndexOf( "." ))
    myExtValue = myExt.localeCompare(".EPS")
    return myExtValue
When I run this script, ALL the graphics are removed, ".EPS" included.
I do have ".EPS" graphics in my document and I expected them not to be removed.
So there is something wrong somewhere, but I don't know what to change.
Any ideas?
By the way, I have a more generic question as a beginner:
I am working with ExtendScript Toolkit. How can I do to check my script step by step?
For exemple, how can I display my variables values as "myString", "myExt", "myExtValue" at each step?
Actually, this script is a step for a bigger script I intend to build to deal with Mathtype equations in Word import.
After not-EPS graphics beeing removed, I wish to relink all remaining equation prewiews to eps in a selected folder, by consecutive order.
But this is a big piece of scripting to swallow for me, so I'm working slowly, step by step.
TIA
Best regards
Nicolas

Hello Ariel
Thank you very much for your help.
1. I added semicolons at the end of lines, but the script result is the same.
2. Running line by line, I could see in the Console where is the problem:
variable "myString" is always undefined.
Well, I have to get more inside my script...
Thank's again
Best regards

Well, I can't see any semicolons in your script. Maybe that's just the
email interface, but there should be semicolons at the ends of lines.
In the ESTK, you can step through a script a line at a time. Just click
on the downwards pointing arrow instead of the "play" arrow. Each time
you click, the script will advance one line. In the Console window
(Windw>Console) you can then type the name of the variable you wish to
examine.

Hy Again!
I forgot to say one more thing that could be relevant:
If i add any action from the struts-config.xml in the provider for the <defaultAction> of the portlet it works correctly.
So the actions work correctly, the problem is that when sending back to the oracle portal the request with the new action, there is no response.
Pls help!
Thanx, and best regards!

Problem with navigation script

Hi I'm having trouble getting a button work correctly when
pressed it should take user to a particular label on the main
scene. Is there a problem with my script? The button is inside a
movie clip which is inside another movie clip. Thanks in
advance.

this quite difficult to explain but here goes. i have a
complex button with a roll in roll out effect. ie. a movie clip
acting as a button that shows different buttons (in another movie
clip) when it is rolled over. I then want the different buttons to
go to other parts in the main timeline. the code works fine when
the buttons are on the main timeline but because it is within
another two movie clips it doesnt work like it should. In fact the
script i have used in the first movie clip also affects the button.
This script is as follows and belongs in the first frame of the
first movie clip. In other words, I need the button not to be
effected by the following script but by the gotoAndPlay script.
Thanks

Help with action script 2.0

I'm a beginner with flash. I created a flash file on my own.
I also created a flash file using a slideshow program. Generally I
like this program. I can insert them into my html with no problem.
I want to load the slideshow.swf file into an empty movie
clip in the flash file I created called products.swf. It works fine
using
loadMovie("slideshow.swf", call_mb_slideshow); (where
call_mb_slideshow is a empty movieclip.)
as long as the all the files are in the same folder. But, I
need the products.swf file with the empty movieclip to be in the
parent folder AND I need the slideshow.swf and the slideshow.xml
file to be in a child folder call musicbox_slideshow. When I change
the code to this:
loadMovie("musicbox_slideshow/slideshow.swf",
call_mb_slideshow);
It loads the slideshow.swf file into the movieclip fine, BUT
it doesn't know where to find the slideshow.xml file that loads the
pictures into the slideshow. It looks for it in the parent folder,
not the child folder.
How do I write the script in products.swf so that it knows
where the slideshow.xml file is? I cannot change the slideshow.swf
file code in any way. I need to do it from products.swf.

I can use this code from html. I'm able to say where the swf
and xml file are. I just don't know how to do this using action
script.

Help with Action script 2.0 please

Hi,
I am new to actionscript and i could really do with some help
please. I am trying to load external movie clips into two different
containers depending on which button is clicked. Sometimes there
may be two conatiners attached to a buuton click, whilst other
buttons may only need to load one movie clip. Here is the action
script i have been using:
button1.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 2);
unloadMovie("container1");
loadMovie("scene2.swf", "container");
loadMovie("scene5.swf", "container1");
container._x = 50 ;
container._y = 110 ;
container1._x = 170 ;
container1._y = 5 ;
button2.onPress = function () {
loadMovie("scene6.swf", "container");
unloadMovie("container1");
container._x = 50 ;
container._y = 110 ;
This does load the movies, however i have to press button one
first before button two will work. Ideally i need to be able to
call any movieclip at any time. Can anyone tell me where i am going
wrong?

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 2);
You can use "this" instead of "_root"... that'll save any
problem if you ever move this within some other movie. Also, move
the x/y assignments just under those lines since they relate to
them directly.
Hey thankyou for your help, that works now. although if i
move the x and y assignments i would have to create another
container right? Thanks again for your help.

Problem with some script--Help???

I've been trying to learn some new things with flash and
actionscript out of a book, I was trucking along nicely then I hit
this rut--
I keep getting an error with my script, but I am 99.9% sure
that the script is the same as it is in the book.
here is the code:
//----------<LoadVars>---------//
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function (success){
if (success){
_level5.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
} else {
_level5.loadedInfo.text = "There has been an error loading
the requested information .
Please contact the Webmaster and report your error.";
//---------------</LoadVars>-----------------\\
and this is the error message:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 20:
String literal was not properly terminated
_level5.loadedInfo.text = "There has been an error loading
the requested information .
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 21:
Syntax error.
Please contact the Webmaster and report your error.";
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 22:
Expected a field name after '.' operator.
Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3
any suggestions??
thanks,
hutch

sweet, that fixed the error problem. Now i have to figure out
why my text won't load. The fun of learning!! I love running into
problems and spending an insane amount of time trying to trouble
shoot them, just to find the problem to be something so simple and
minute that it makes you hate your self,--but when it all works in
the end it feels so good.
thanks,
it is much appreciated.

Problem with Math In Calculated Fields

I am calculating a group incident rate for data returned from
a query. The formula is Number of cases multiplied by 200000
divided by number of hours worked. Cases in my report is the
calculated field: calc.CaseSum (the sum of cases for the group)
Hours is calc.SumHours (the sum of hours for the group). The actual
values for these variables (for the first group are 48 and 29427171
respectively. When I create the following calculated field called
rate using the formula: (calc.CaseSum * 200000) / calc.SumHours,
Cold Fusion Generates a Runtime Error:
Invalid ColdFusion expression in report. If the expression is
a string, ensure that it is within quotes. Error: (calc.CaseSum *
200000) / calc.SumHours is not a valid ColdFusion expression.
If I use the constant value "29427171" as the divisor, the
report works albeit only for the first group. Any ideas; is this a
bug, or am I misusing the product?
Addition: I forgot to mention I am using CF8. Also this
formula worked fine as a Report Total before I introduced grouping
and modified the calculated fields to reset on the change of a
group.

Sorry, I've been on another project for awhile. This problem
will certainly be a "show stopper" for me if I cannot resolve it.
As I mentioned in my original post, I used a constant in the
formula in lieu of the variable and the calculation worked. This
would suggest that CF does not have a problem with a large number.
In spite of that reasoning, I tried Tony's suggested (thanks
by the way!) with the identical outcome, only difference is the new
formula is displayed in the error message.
Tony, you also suggested that I set the variables using
CFSET... How would I do this within the report writer environment.
I had tried a similar approach: to perform half the calculation
i.e. that within the parenthesis, and assign that value to a
separate "calculated field: and then perform the rest of the
calculation on that variable with the same outcome.
I think that I may be dealing with a CF bug here, I'd like to
find a workaround... I've noticed that CF8 has a new patch, perhaps
after I apply it, I may be able to get this thing to work. I'm on
another project right now so it will be a few days before I can
test this theory, I report the result.
Should this fail, and no one can come up with a workaround, I
will report this to Adobe.
