ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiplying MouseX Value?
May 13, 2011I have this mc that responds to mouseX , only the mc is very short in frames, it's only 25 frames long. This way the mouseX is only the first 25 pixels of my stage, so it only responds to that. Is there any way I can multiply this value to, let's say, 20 times?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiplying Objects Over Time
Jul 12, 2010Was wondering if there is a script that can mutiply objects over the time line.So for example if one rock appears in frame 1, and then a 2nd rock in frame 2and a 3rd rock in frame 3, etc,But say starting on frame 4, six rocks would appear, and on frame 5, twelve rocks would appear...so that the rocks would appear exponentially for example.The numbers or accuracy does not matter, its more about displaying a number of rocks much faster along the time line, instead of 1 rock/frame.
View 1 Replies[AS2] Multiplying Movieclip On Click (NOT DuplicateMovieClip)?
Nov 9, 2010I have the movie clip "movie" in my library and the button "btn" on the stage.Now everytime I release "btn", I want to add "movie" to the stage and have it play from predetermined coordinates (let's say _x = 20, _y = 20)...So far, I've tried
Actionscript Code:
on (release) {duplicateMovieClip("movie", "movie2", 1);}
but that doesn't do the trick because it doesn't multiply the displayed movies.Everytime you release "btn", "movie" breaks off and restarts,I want it to finish its animation and have ANOTHER one spawn at the origin...
Java :: Can 0.99999999999 Be Rounded To 1.0 When Multiplying
Oct 11, 2011When multiplying a floating point number that is very close to 1 with an int > 0, can it ever be interpreted as 1.
That is, if Math.random() returns its highest possible result (which is 1 step below 1.0), will
(int)(Math.random() * 8)
be 8 or 7?
For a practical example, can this often-used construct give an index out of bounds error:
someArray[(int)(Math.random() * someArray.length)];
I'm specifically interested in answers for Java and ActionScript 3, but I suppose they all use the same rules for floating point arithmetic, and answers for any platform would be useful.
Update: Though I already accepted an answer, I'd still appreciate confirmation that this can't go wrong in ActionScript 3 either, since a colleague reporting that he saw it go wrong once is what partly prompted me to ask this question.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiplying Two Text Boxes?

box1.text = box2.text * box3.text;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiplying Swf In Flash Page?
Oct 16, 2010In my page i use animated swf for button. And at the moment page knows how many buttons there needs to be via category nodes in xml so i made a loop to load in the right number of same swf-s. Is there a bettery way to do that like load swf only once and than duplicate it via script? Or something else i did not think of?

The code below works fine, but the output number is "11.5" I need this to be "11.50" and again if we set the array index [1] to "0" instead of ".50" I would need to show "11.00" instead of "11" which is what I am getting now!

Actionscript :: Coldfusion - Rounding Bug When Dividing Then Multiplying
Oct 20, 2011I am doing the following in actionscript in Coldfusion Flash Forms:
90 / 3.7
Gives me:
24.3243243243243
Whereas the calculator gives me:
24.32432432432432
Note the extra 2 at the end.
So my problem occurs when I am trying to get the original value of 90 by taking the 24.3243243243243 * 3.7 and then I get 89.9999999999 which is wrong.
Why is Actionscript truncating the value and how do I avoid this so I get the proper amount that the calculator gets?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects - XML - Creating A New Instance Of An Object That Uses An Identical Name To An Older Instance Delete The Previous Instance?
Mar 20, 2009Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

Mar 14, 2006I am wrapping my brain around OOP in AS2. I am making two posts on two different subjects. My question here is: when should I use local instance variables, and when should I attach new properties to the instance object? (Feel free to correct my terminology.) Let's say I have a class for a scrolling background, which scrolls when I mouse over its edge. I want to put these values somewhere:
1) How wide is the border in which a mouseOver makes it scroll? This is basically a semi-constant I set it up once and keep it the same, unless the user changes it in an options menu to make the border wider or narrower. Call this scrollBorderWidth.
2) How fast is the background scrolling now? I want to track this so I can smoothly change the scroll speed over several frames. This is often changed. Call this scrollSpeed.
It seems I have two ways I can store and access these values and darned if I know which is better practice. METHOD A: Make them local variables in the class, so the scrolling background instance has them as local vars. I set them up thusly:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create New Instance() When Instance Is A Variable?
Feb 12, 2012I have a base class I've used on 6 different MC's. Then when I use these MC's my function runs an if statement to check which one to add.
if(id=design) var obj = new design();
if(id=team) var obj = new team();
I want to make it a bit more dynamic and use the id:String to evaluate which new instance to create.

public function loadChapter(id:String):void {
var obj = new instance_of( id )();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding An Instance Name From Another Instance Name?
Jan 28, 2010I have a bunch of text boxes which are acting as labels on a diagram.The idea is all the labels are jumbled up to start with, and the user has to drag the labels to the correct place.So far, I have the labels, and they are dragable, but I want to be able to lock the label onto a specific area (I've called them crashzones) so that when the user drags the label onto the correct area, the label snaps into place.The 'crashzones' instance names, are indentical to the label instance names, with the exception that the 'crashzones' instance names have the letter 'z' at the begining.
On the dragStart event, something (maybe a string) would hold the instance name of the current label and add the letter 'z' to the beggining, so something like ... crashzone = "z" + label1;As there is an instance with the name "zlabel1", when the dragstop event starts, it'll do a 'hittestobject' on the instance "zlabel1".
I'm not entirely sure how to go about this.I've tried creating a string to hold the 'crashzone' name, but the hittestobject event doesnt work with strings i.e: hitTestObject(stringname);I've also tried with Sprite, but as the sprite technically already exists and has a name, I can't give the sprite any properties.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Values Held By A Class Instance From Another Class Instance?
Oct 14, 2009I have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Sending A Class Instance Reference To A Different Class Instance?
Apr 14, 2011I'm creating a little game - The player controls a character that follows the mouse. Pigs run away from the player, and the player has to get them all into a pen. To make the game a little more difficult I'm trying to add an enemy - wolves, that attempt to perform a 'hunt' method every x seconds. This method sends a reference of the wolf instance to Main (my document class) and Main then loops through the pigs on stage to see if there's any nearby. Now as far as I know this works - my problem is I'm unsure how to send the pig instance reference back to the wolf that called the hunt method, so it can then 'target' the pig, and then attempt to pounce on it.
This is my Wolf class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
