This is exactly what i was looking for! I didn’t know ExternalInterface has this function. i was coding my own math logics. what a PITA! this made my app a lot skinnier! Thanks for putting up this tut.

You need to add this to the script tag

private function init(e:Event):void
{
this.setFocus();
}

private function onKeyDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
trace(e.keyCode);
switch (e.keyCode)
{
case 49:
addText(“1″);
break;
case 50:
addText(“2″);
break;
}
}

..and this should be added to the mc:Application tag:

I’m just starting to learn flex, I tried this script out and it works fine as a web application but when I tried to build it as an AIR app I get the “UNAVAILIBLE” message. How do I get around that?

Thanks

if i evaluate and press any number, it is taking with result number (which wrong way), instead of clear and start with latest values..as normal calculator behaves.
can anyone do it for me…
………………………
thanks in advance!

Heh . . . sorry!

parseFloat is going to make a much more interesting and usable calculator.

input.text = parseFloat(input.text).toString();
