With the help of value in an input text for the calculation in a Variable area

I have a project where I ask the user to fill out their name in a box entry and two-digit age in another area of text entry.  Later in the project, I want to ask them to think when they were 6 years and how they would describe themselves right there.  (the project is about self-awareness).  To make it as pleasant as possible, I thought it would be nice to say. "(Name variable), think to (years since 6) years, when you were about 6 years old'."  I'm unable to get the variable 'Since 6 years' work and I would like to know if it's possible.

  • I set up the variable text box as "v_age".
  • I've implemented a variable like "v_age6" with the value "6".
  • I implemented the variable result as "v_result_age6".
  • I have set up a standard action with a mathematical expression which reads "v_result_age6 = v_age - v_age6.

The variable output does not appear on the scene in overview of project mode, and I think it's because there is only a single variable with a value assigned in the equation.  The variable "v_age" doesn't have an assigned value because it is a text entry area.

Is it possible to use a value typed in a user as a variable to do math with?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum,

Each TEB has an associated variable, its generic name is the same as the BER. But you better match your variable with the most significant name to the ETB. Take a look at this old real blog post, always to news (though perhaps the screenshots are little bit outdated):

http://blog.lilybiri.com/timesaving-Tip-Create-associated-variable-for

BTW: you have no need to create an additional variable to number 6. This action would have done as well:

Expression v_resultage6 = v_age - 6

How you trigger the action, by what event?

    1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?
     
     
    Given that the game is compatible with Windows 7, I suspect that the conflict can be 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
    The link below shows the compatibility of this game with Windows 7.
     
     
    Method 1.
    We must ensure that the edition of the game must correspond with the operating system.
    If you use 64-bit in this game, you need the 64-bit Windows to install it.
    Method 2.
    If the above information matching I you recommend to start the computer in clean condition and then try to install the game.

    Hello

    I seem to be having problems when you try to install a program on my Windows 7 that allows to launch on my Windows XP and Windows Vista. I used the tool to solve compatibility problems and selected these settings in the CONFIGURATION file, but nothing seems to work the error message I get is as follows:

    "This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher. »

    Is it possible to set my computer to allow this program to run successfully? Any solution would be greatly useful.

    Hello Rdforbe,

    The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

    To find out if your computer is running 32-bit Windows or 64-bit, follow these steps:
    System opened by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click System.
    Under system, you can view the system type. This will describe if you have 32-bit or 64-bit.

    You can also try compatibility mode.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • Firefox worked, today has not started with the error the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are using.

    Computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Firefox has work fine for over a year on this computer. Nothing has been changed or updated updated except Windows update indicates that it installed updates on August 19. I had computer week before because only out of town, back entrance and began August 18, but Firefox has worked that day. Does not use FF again until today. Today August 22, firefox does not start, shortcut icon changed program not there. Exe in the folder when you click Poster error message says the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows, I am running. Exe of Firefox shows created on 20 August. I suspect the update, Windows or FF but lean towards windows, which was spent, who broke things. I noticed that IE 10 updates, updates of .NET framework and the malicious software removal tool have been installed. I tried to restart the computer, has not set. Tried to run as administrator, did not work. I don't want to uninstall FF, at least have to because of all the things I have here, bookmarks, last past passwords, etc..

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files (not the profile folder, where the bookmarks are stored) and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Problem with the calculator on the computer.

  • How to add or subtract 2 times, calculation with the calculator of windows 7?

    For example:

    I want to add 2 different times as follows. More time is with the format hours: Minutes: seconds.

    H MM SS

    01:50:31

    + 2:20:30

    -------------------

    04:11:01

    How to perform this calculation of time with Windows 7 or any other Calculator calculator in Windows 7.

    Response.

    In your example:

    First add the hours, the minutes and the dry separately

    Hours = 1 + 2 = 3

    MN = 50 + 20 = 70

    Seconds = 31 + 30 = 61

    Now, to calculate whole minutes because of the second column:

    61 seconds/60 = 1.016 mins (approx.)

    Ignore the bits after the comma, and add whole minutes in the minutes column:

    MN = 70 + 1 = 71

    Calculate the seconds remaining:

    61. 60 = 1 second.

    Now, calculate hours because of the minutes column:

    71minutes/60 = 1.183 hours (approx.)

    Ignore the bits after the comma and add hours to the column of the hours:

    Hours = 3 + 1 = 4

    Calculate the remaining minutes:

    71 60 = 11 min.

    That is why total is:

    4 hours, 11 minutes, 1 second.

    The calculator is not a huge help to make these kinds of calculations because it works in decimal which means he cannot directly calculate/convert seconds/minutes/hours located in several of the early 1960s. If you had a spreadsheet like Excel you could set up (with a little work) to do this kind of thing.

  • I could hide a symbol with the name of a variable?

    sym.setVariable ("symbol", symbol);

    symbol var = "entrantes_sym";

    sym.setVariable ("symbol", symbol);

    Thank you

    Sheila

    Hello

    There are a few fields of totals, so I'm not sure which one you want.

    However, when you selected the field, click on in the script editor. Then scroll down to page 8, so that you can see the total field you want to reference. Then you click on the Publisher and then with the mouse on the field total you want to press and hold Control. This will change the pointer in a 'V '. Then you select the field now, it fills the full reference of the field in your script.

    I recommend checking that total expenditures below the line is not 0 or null or you will get an error. I assign the node solved in a variable and then make reference to this variable in the if statement and the calculation.

    var vTotalExp = xfa.resolveNode("FinancialExpenses.Subform14.#area.#area[1].ActualTotalExpenses")
    
    if (vTotalExp <> 0 and vTotalExp <> null) then
         (TotalRequest/vTotalExp)*100
    endif
    

    Hope this helps,
