im trying to check time, but check to see if the time is within a range.
for example, check to see if time is between 12:50pm, and 30 minutes later (1:20pm)
also, i want to be able to calculate that difference (12:50 + :30 = 1:20)
and also how to hande getting the time range? ie. (currentTime >12:50 && currentTime < 1:20)
I'm trying to make a tile-based AS3 game that uses PNG images as the base for maps that loads them from the library and converts the data to an array with each pixel of data being an individual tile. Essentially, if I had a 128x128 pixel PNG with say, green pixels being converted to "GRASS" in my array, I could then cycle through the array and add tiles to the map movieclip accordingly. I've looked at the ByteArray class and I can't seem to decode the data into a usable format.
View 1 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 am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"
var res:Number = new Number(str);
But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?

What is the best way to pad the numbers so they show correctly as 00:00, 01:23, etc.Would like to stay away from just padding a string "0" in front, so I can test the var for proper time and use it elsewhere. Has anyone already done this with some code already floating around ?

This has been destroying my noggin for hours now. I have an MC within an MC that I want to move from left to right, starting at 6.5x and needing to end at its width +6.5c (so 494.5x every time). Depending on the TOTALSECONDS I put in, it changes every time. It is always off, never perfect, and it is boggling my mind. Here is my code.
Code:
TOTALSECONDS = 90; // you can make this any number
var pMove = (progressBar.blackBar.width + 6.5) / (TOTALSECONDS) /8;
progBarMovement = Math.round(pMove*1000)/1000;
[Code]....
progresBar.blackBar.width is equal to 488. Add 6.5 to it, and we have 494.5. Regardless of how many TOTALSECONDS I use, this bar needs to move across the screen from left to right perfectly until it reaches 494.5, which should equal the "total" found in the code. It works for some numbers, doesn't for others. It is like numbers are being lost in transit. If I set the TOTALSECONDS to 10, it works perfectly. If I set the TOTALSECONDS to 90, it ends up at 476x rather than 495x where it needs to be. The longer the time, the worse it gets.
This should work flawlessly each and every time. This could not get any simpler, yet it is not working. Simple simple math and yet it doesn't want to work. I have to be missing something. Maybe the .x coords can't move on certain decimal digits, so those are being lost?

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.

Over the weekend i put together an MP3 player in Flex and just managed to figure out the SoundSpectrum.
It is working as expected.
I am facing problems when it comes to using a bitmap.
Right now, my "Analyser" class pulls the data from SoundMixer.computerSpectrum.
I then use that data with the drawing API to create a simple analyser. You know, just spikes.
Here is the code for that part:
Code:
private function update(e:TimerEvent): void
{
SoundMixer.computeSpectrum(ba, true);
var n:Number = 0;
[Code]....
Ok using common sense here, I am telling flash to take a snapshot of the Analyser and draw it to the bitmapData.
However, i cant seem to get this working. I am not using the dispose() method to clear the bitmap so id expect to see a mess of points (similar to if i removed the g.clear()) but nothing happens.
I need to make a tool (in flash) that people who do NOT have flash can use to create some artwork (graphs and lines at particular angels in particular) and then export the artwork in a format that designers who DO have flash can use in flash for animations. We're trying to cut out a step where our content folks give our designers graphs that need to be hand traced in Flash. Are there any third party plugins that would allow a swf to generate and EPS, AI, or FLA perhaps?
View 1 RepliesI'm making a game where the player moves around a map, where the player can walk and where they can't is decided by the color of the pixel they are trying to move onto, which I get using the Bitmap.getPixel method.
What I'd like to do though is when the map image is loaded process it into a sprite or something which I can then use the DisplayObject.hitTest methods on. So I have an array of colors whcih the user can walk on, is there way I could go through each pixel and build something that would let me do that?
I am trying to do a calculation which will eventually (hopefully) yield the total length of time it will take to download a certain size file over different broadband speeds.

So, I am left with a total time of eg: 4.5 hours.i would like a standard number I can use across my movie to convert 4.5 hours to 4hrs 30, or 4.30 for simplicity.If I have 0.5 hours as a total, it would be much easier for the user to read it .30 hours.
does anyone know a formula that can convert the current time/day to the day of the year or seconds?
like 30th May sld be the 150th day of 2007 etc..

View 2 RepliesIn my quest to learn ActionScript 3.0 I have stumbled across another situation where I know what I need to do, but just can't figure out how to do. I have written code to animate a menu with 3 buttons. These 3 buttons reside in a seperate class file known as MenuButtons.as and I am animating them within my Main.as file which builds the application and places the relevant details onto the stage.So in my Main.as file I have written the animation code that I would like to use to animate the buttons. Whenever a button is clicked, an event is dispatched which a handler listeners for then executes the relevant function. So the function for animating my 3 buttons looks like this (bear in mind that the buttons are arranged in a place holder in MenuButtons.as which in turn is loaded in a new MovieClip in the Main.as file)[code]I also tween the logo from here too. It works fine which is great, but is there a way I can make this code more simpler? I may not be able to and I have tried to find my answer online but alas I cannot find what I am looking for.
I am loving how I am learning something new each day and by building up slowly I am learning more functionality and broadening my knowledge of ActionScript (although some of it is very confusing!)Is there any good websites out there that can help? I have a subscription with Lynda.com but i find that their explanations can sometimes be hard to understand. I love text based tutorials where I can follow at my own pace.
Within a script, I move to a keyframe where a movie clip exists. The movie clip is attached to an Actionscript 2.0 class.
