I made an app called Chococalc which works calculates a formula to determine if a dog is sick from eating chocolate. You need to use a LOT of variables.
The iphone/ipod comes with a built in calculator but if you really want to you need to make a lot of variables. heres a sample code.
For the five button If Touch is inside and pressed and phase is equal to one set number 1 to 5 otherwise if phase is equal to 2 set number two to 2 and change phase to 3
Then a display actor with this: if phase is equal to 3 and multiplacation is TRUE, Change result to Number 1* number 2 then display text (result)
In code, say if you wanted a textbox to show numbers in a sequence like that you would have to convert to a string and then back to double if you wanted to do an operation. In c# for example, the code on each button would be Button 1: TextBox1.Text += "1"; 2: += "2"; etc etc.
If it's possible to do similar with the display text behaviour, then try that. Otherwise, I dunno, I never played around with the diplay text behaviour much.
might not be right or any help at all but thought your problem a fun thing to consider.
Could you set up as many attributes as you have keys in your calculator (10 if you are doing 0-9). Also create an attribute as keyPressCounter=0.
Each key would have a attribute value which you would assign to the attribute that matched the keyPressCounter=keypresscounter+1. So if 7 were pressed first it would be assigned to attribute1 and keypresscounter would be 2 when say 5 is pressed.
then you would have to reverse the order when the = button is pressed and multiply the attribute value by 1000,100,10 and 1 say if four numbers were clicked. Then add those attributes together to get you answer?!?

This woulld be a basic set up for a calculator
i'm trying to figure out how to make it so when i hit 1, 2, 5, 8 on the keypad
whatever value is set to 1258

ANy logic in that rambling?
