Re: FLASH: Age calculator

[Jonathan Kemp]

To every one who replied about this, I will reconfigure it to add an error

message when someone types in the wrong thing. Just to be clear, type it in

like this:


For someone who was born on June 5, 1976, it would look like,


June

5

1976


I realize that some may be typing it in like that and still getting the

wrong answer. I really don't know how to fix that. It is something I am

doing for fun anyway just to see if I could do it because I saw one in

Javascript. I will rework the scripts and let everyone know when it is back

up. Thanks for your help and I will see you in a few hours.
