View 2 RepliesI'm doing a simple hex converter with a input window(hex) and output window(dec)
Currently i'm using a simple script on a button to covert the hex to dec
on (release) {
outputBox = parseInt(inputBox, 16);
}
This is ok if you want to convert one hex number at a time, what i want to do is input lots of hex values (in the input window) and convert them to dec (to the output window) in one go.

View 3 RepliesI have an FLV player that provides a read-only property called myPlayer.timecode and it displays the time in seconds as a String (xx.xxx).I am trying to assign that value to a variable so I can convert it to a number to use in some calculations, comparisons, etc. I can assign this property to a dynamic text box and display it on the screen, but I cannot assign it to a variable and have the variable value show correctly on the screen. What do I need to do?Ex: myPlayer.timecode value is 10.000 and shows as 10.000 in the dynamic text box called myTime1. (I entered the property into the Var: input box).Created a String variable called timePlayed, and assigned it to a dynamic text box called myTime2.However, I cannot find a way to assign the property myPlayer.timecode to this variable. I can only display a value of "undefined" or "NaN" in the text box myTime2.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to convert a negative number into a positive using actionscript?
View 5 RepliesI've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.
I composed this function to convert a number to a time format (HH:MM:SS.T):
PHP Code:

It works. But I'm thinking it could be optimized for performance. How would you pare it down?

I import XML data in order to fill an AdvancedDataGrid (using Flex 4.5). This ADG is correctly filled with the data, columns display the right information etc. etc.
I would like to summarize this ADG using
<mx:SummaryRow summaryPlacement="group">
<mx:SummaryField2 dataField="Cost" label="amount" summaryOperation="SUM">
</mx:SummaryRow>
But there is a problem! Indeed, the 'Cost' data are imported as 'Strings' and that is why I cannot do the SUM... I just get a nice 0 as a result! I would like to convert these data into Numbers, so that the addition can be processed. This conversion has to be done before filling the ADG I think.
I already tried to implement a custom summaryOperation but was unlucky...
public function calculateSummary(data:Object, field:SummaryField2, rowData:Object):void
{
var dataField:String = field.dataField;
[Code]...
The Alert always displays a void message, the data are not transmitted to this function I think
There is another thing: the user can insert new data in the XML dynamically and that insertion has to update the SUM result.
I've got a calculator that i created in as2 that converts different units of measurement. However, right now it always converts the numbers into a decimal number like 0.33333333 or 450.72. How in the world would i convert these decimal numbers to scientific notation? For example, say i have a number: 12,700. Expressed in scientific notation, this would be 1.27x10^4.I hope there is an easy way to make flash convert to such a number system? I know its easy to round numbers in decimal, but have never worked with scientific notation before.
