how to convert it to 0 and also if the number wsa 9, convert it to 1, and if it was 8 it gets converted to 2.. and so on.. where if it was 0 it would then be 10 Is there a formula? The 0 to 10, and 10 to 0 may not be possible but that's ok.

View 4 RepliesI have a for loop that arranges icons in rows, and I want 6 icons per row. The number of icons is variable. So I was thinking that if I can find out how to test if a number is a perfect multiple of 6 (or 7, I suppose), I could then add a line in the loop that changes the _y value of the thumb to a higher number and resets the _x value to 0, thereby creating a new line. how do you test to see if a number is round?
View 4 RepliesI have created a tween with actionscript that moves a movie clip of a cityscape along the x axis whenever the mouse is clicked.
This is my code
var skylineTween:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, skyline_mc.x,Math.floor(Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) ) + -3,2,true);
Right now it generates a random number from between -1022 and -16 (positions along the x axis).
However, sometimes the skyline movie clip only moves a few pixels and looks boring.
I added 200 pixels to the movement (Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) +200 ) and it looks better. However, sometimes this slides the movie clip past -1022 or -16 and off the stage.
How can I set the value to +200 without passing -1022 or -16?
I am trying to develop a maths quiz where I need to generate a random number, I then need to generate another random number but this needs to be a multiple of the first number. I just can't work out how I can generate a multiple of the first number.

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to play a random gallary image by making it stops at different frame every few seconds, and the actions is completely random.
The problem is, since there are only 5 different images(5 frames) I'm displaying, there is a high probability that it stays at the same frame, how do I avoid that? Like avoid staying at the same page twice, if not run the function again.

Alright,I have the MC I wanted to move everytime "A" is pressed now. But I still have one more question. Right now I have a random number generated between 1 and 10. Every time that "A" is pressed my horse (for the game) moved across the x axis in an increment between 1 and 10 (the random number). BUT the problem I'm having is that when the "A" button is pressed it loads a random number and uses that number over and over when I press the "A" button.How do I get it to load a new random number everytime "A" in pressed?
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way to convert a string containing math symbols such as +,-,*,/ and numbers. I am building a calculator.I have a string variable that I keep appending the value of the button.In the end the string looks something like this 8+3+3-4*9.I was wondering if there was a way to solve the equation just using the information in the string. I tried setting a Number to the string and I would get NaN. The hard part about this is trying to count for the math oop i.e Multiplying before adding.

View 1 RepliesI've got a movieclip which follows a predefined path (like in those tower defense games). Normally the mc changes the direction it faces with Math.atan2 method and then rotates the movieclip, but because this game is in a tilted view( in stead of directly from the top) I need it to change the frame in the MC according to the direction it's facing.
Is it possible to read out Math.atan2 method data, and then change the frame the MC is displaying, according to this data? I used [URl]...on-and-realism as a base for this game. If Math.atan2 method
1) what value is seeded to Math.random() to generate the random number?
View 2 RepliesHere is the problem:
var p:int = 0;
var n:Number = 0;
n = 32.999999999999999;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 33
n = 32.11111111111111;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 32
I would expect both of these to return 32. I have searched, and it seems this is an unreported bug in AS3. Or ... am I doing something wrong?

What i done there i draw a box and made it to movieclip and instance named it hook and created a invisible dot and called it dot. Then I calculated distance from box to the mouse then i took that number and put it in Math.cos command. And finally i made tweener to change box scale depending what my mouse distance from it.So if my mouse is close the box is big , if far - box is small. Ok, I want to know is there another way to do this ? Cuz , i cant think of other way to change arithmetic positive progression(like 3,6,9,12) to negative progression(like 12,9,6,3) than Math.cos command.
So here is a piece of code that I have seen used a lot but don't really quite understand:
myVar = Math.min(Math.max(myVar, this.min), this.max);
or some variation thereof. I understand that the function first finds the maximum value of two values then turns around and uses that to find the minimum between two values.why this is done? And how do you know when to use it?

View 4 Replieshow can I add number to a current variable in actionscript. My variable has data coming though php(numeric data) so I want to create an if statement to say this:
If the data number(let's use 5) is equal to 5+any number then do something.
Should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out right now, how can I say "any number" with code?
ActionScript Code:
if(myVar == myVar+1){
//do something;
}
Thing is the + number is uknown... so + 1 may not work cause the number may be higher than 1.
I'm stuck on this annoying bug of Flash:to animate a character i have different graphic symbols of hand positions inside a single container graphic symbol; that way instead of having to swap different symbols while animating and tweening, i just have to change the number on the "single frame" input box on the properties of the symbol.
It worked fine a few sessions ago, but now it won't let me change the frame number if there's a tween before that keyframe; tha keyframe isn't participating on any tween, and may even have some frames between the previous tweening one. The only way it will change is if i remove the first tween or add a blank keyframe between them, wich of course isn't an option when animating... i know it would work if i add a new layer and continue there, but it'll add a lot of mess to the already busy timeline.
The strange thing is that it remains working on some frames, from the previous session, and if a cut and paste them i can change the frame number freely; but if i try to build a secuence from scratch, it won't let me, even on a new document.
