I am trying to set up a virtual bus fare vending machine in Adobe Flash (Animate) animation.
The premise is that you must enter exact fare into the slot because drivers don't carry change. Exact fare is $2. The machine accepts denominations of 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, $1, $5, $10 and $20. If anything over $2 is entered, a message pops up saying the "Exact fare only please. Drivers cannot provide change." So in this case, only the 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent and $1 denominations will work, but they must be entered to add up to exactly $2.
The code below works correctly for the 25 cent and $1 denominations alone and in combination, but works erratically when 5 cent and 10 cent are used alone or included in combination with the 25 cent and $1. For example, if you try reach $2 by only using the dimes, the total reaches $1.90 but does not payout the fare when you enter the final 10 cents. Instead the pop up "Exact fare only please" message is triggered. If you then add a nickel, the total reaches $1.95 but again will not payout the fare when you enter the final nickel. Instead the pop up "Exact fare only please." message is triggered again.
Entering $1 and then another $1 works perfectly. Entering 8 quarters works as well as does entering $1 and 4 quarters. Can't figure out what the problem is. Would appreciate any help. Thanks!
Code is below:

This could be a problem caused by floating point numbers. Try putting this in your code and check the console output:
// Expect result to be 0.1
trace(0.3-0.2);
0.09999999999999998
// Adding lots of 5 cent coins. Expect result to be 0.5
trace(0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05);
0.49999999999999994
Your == comparison is failing sometimes because adding floating point numbers together can result in unexpected values. This answer explains the problem well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3730040/11678918
For your case, try changing your Cash variable into an int, and store the cents instead of the dollars:
var Cash:int = 0;
var payola:int = 200; // 2 dollars
// Add 5 cents
Cash += 5;
// Adding 1 dollar
Cash += 100;
// Printing out the amount in dollars and cents
Money.text = "$" + (Cash / 100).toFixed(2);
// Our exact check is safe now that we avoid floats.
if(Cash == payola) { ... }
