cfForm binding text field, visible to checkbox

i am trying to bind a text fields viability to a checkbox. based on if it is checked or not... <cfinput type="checkbox" name="vm_O" label="Others" /> <cfinput type="text" name="vm_Other" label="Please specify" visible="{vm_O.selectedData = 'True'}" /> dosnt work... thanks -paul

have also tried <cfinput type="checkbox" name="vm_O" label="Others" /> <cfinput type="text" name="vm_Other" label="Please specify" visible="{vm_O.selectedItem.data != 'false'}"  />

sweet     <cfinput type="checkbox" name="vm_O" label="Others"  />     <cfinput type="text" name="vm_Other" label="Please specify" visible="{vm_O.selected}"/> from: http://www.asfusion.com/blog/entry/binding-checkboxes-in-flash-forms now... how do i calculate results of text field on the fly? <cfinput type="text" name="StainlessSteel_totalsp" bind="{ul3R_SSsp.text}+{ul4_SSsp.text}{ul3r4x_SSsp.text}+{q4_0_SSsp.text}"> /> that just puts + between returned results.. like 3+2+5+1 not 11 i have tried ++ '++'

Just a guess... {ul3R_SSsp.text + ul4_SSsp.text + ul3r4x_SSsp.text + q4_0_SSsp.text} On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 1:37 PM, Paul Ihrig <pihrig@gmail.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

OK, it was an issue of value typing.  This works: <cfform format="flash" width="500">     <cfinput name="FieldOne" type="text" label="Field One" width="60" />     <cfinput name="FieldTwo" type="text" label="Field Two" width="60" />     <cfinput name="FieldTotal" type="text" label="Field Total" bind="{(FieldOne.text * 1) + (FieldTwo.text * 1)}" width="60" /> </cfform> I don't know ActionScript very well, so there may be a better way of casting the values.  The total field with show 'NaN' if the other fields are empty or not numeric.

NM. just put in default value to 0 that fixed it... sw33t!

Hello Paul, turns out that ActionScript has a Number() function which does what you needed. I've never used flash forms before, so this may seem like a silly question, but when I display this form the first two fields are empty rather than having the value of zero.  Why is that? <cfform format="flash" width="500">     <cfinput name="FieldOne" type="text" label="Field One" validate="float" value="0" width="60">     <cfinput name="FieldTwo" type="text" label="Field Two" validate="float" value="0" width="60">     <cfinput name="FieldTotal" type="text" label="Field Total" enabled="false" bind="{Number(FieldOne.text) + Number(FieldTwo.text)}" width="60"> </cfform> On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 3:08 PM, Paul Ihrig <pihrig@gmail.com> wrote: > NM. > just put in default value to 0 > that fixed it... > sw33t!
