FLASH: Flash-Phone ActionScript Problem

[Bawol, Brian]

Hello peoples,

I am in need of some "should-be" simple action script help.  I am creating

an interactive flash presentation for a web-phone program we have.

Essentially I need to use the phone keypad on the bitmap image as if it were

really the phone's keypad to type in letters.  ie. pressing the number "2" 2

times would give you the letter "B", and 3 times would give the letter "C",

then clicking the right arrow button would move to the next letter.


What I have is a dynamic text field on the phone's screen which will simply

be updating the variable as people hit the keys.  I have included the code

below and was wondering if anybody could tell me if I am attempting to do

something not allowed in flash or what?   Here goes...





======= variables declared in the keyframe that the button is initiated on

=========

stop ();

txtUserName = "";                        //this is the dynamic text field

temp = "";                               //temporary storage to incriment

the variable

userlength = 0;                          //I will only allow the variable to

reach 5 chars.

num2 = 0;                                //How many times the "2" button has

been pressed on phone





======= Actions within the "2" button on the phone =========

on (press) {

	num2 = num2 + 1;

	if (num2 > 3) {                    //Make sure the number does not

exceed 3

		num2 = 1;

	}

	trace ("num2 = " + num2);

	if (num2 = 1) {

		temp = "A";

	} else if (num2 = 2) {

		temp = "B";

	} else if (num2 = 3) {

		temp = "C";

	}

	txtUserName = temp;                //Stored in temp until the user

hits right arrow to move to next letter

	trace ("temp is " + temp + " and txtUserName =" + txtUserName);


}



======= When I keep clicking the "2" button in the test-scene this is my

TRACE output =======

num2 = 1

temp is A and txtUserName =A

num2 = 2

temp is A and txtUserName =A

num2 = 2

temp is A and txtUserName =A

num2 = 2

temp is A and txtUserName =A

num2 = 2

temp is A and txtUserName =A

num2 = 2

temp is A and txtUserName =A             


//Note how num2 does not increment past 2






Thank you very much, any help is appreciated!

Grazie,

Brian
