How to utilize input/dynamic text fields in Flash?

I have a very straightforward problem that is giving me hell.

I need people to enter a value into a text field, and have Flash convert what they typed into a numeric value that can be stored as a variable and used in math equations. Once I do some number crunching, I need to display the result in another text field.

Am I correct that the field the user types into is an input textfield, and the field the answer is displayed in is a dynamic textfield?

What ActionScript code (preferably AS 2.0) is needed to do this?
Could you provide examples using realistic variable names?
Where is this code supposed to be placed?
