ActionScript 2.0 :: Find Out If Number Negative?
Jun 6, 2008I need to check if a number is negative and if so, trace "true" and if not "false".

View 2 Repliescheck if a negative number is less than another negative number. The if condition logic seems to be in order as far as i can tell but it doesent work for some reason :
Code:
public function minuscheck(testnumber:int):void
{
if (testnumber < -1)

I have an object that I want to be able to recognize in AS3.There's a port of OpenCV for AS3 already, that works with Haars cascades, so now I need to create a cascade of my object.
From what I've read, I'll have to create an XML of several images (positive and negative), but I can't find a program that'll do that for Mac OS X.
Is there anything I can use that'll generate that XML on Mac OS X?
how to turn a variable number from positive to negetive using AS2? eg:
Code:
myVar1 = 40;
//use code to change to negetive number
myVar1 = -40;
I'm working on a AS3 project where users will decide whether a random number is whole number or not.There are three boxes (box1, box2, box3), which will display random numbers. Under each box there are two check buttons (for example: bt1 and bt2).There are also two boxes counting correct and incorrect answers (correct1 and correct2). There is a button generating random numbers again (bt_2).The negative random numbers are not recognized by my conditional. Or I don't know how to handle conditional with negative numbers. Positive or negative numbers display the correct check mark? Here is my AS3
//counters
var i:uint=0; // correct answersvar u:uint=0; // incorrect answers
// making check mark invisibleco1.visible=false; // correctco2.visible=false; [code].....

View 5 RepliesI have a stack of 3 Mcs, 1, 2 and 3, one over the other, at the same layer.
I want to make an action, that makes the top level MCs, when clicked, to go under the other 2 MCs, and so on.
Is it possible? I tried to make it, but discovered that it's not possible to define negative depth for a MC.
how or why it is happening??
example:
var myText:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
//lots of initialization to myText.
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code]....
The last statement is the one with the trouble
f I trace new Date().toUTCString() I get something like: Fri Aug 12 07:14:06 2011 UTC.perfect. If I trace new Date().getTime() I get some long negative number which is decreasing as I continue to trace it. This is totally unexpected.

View 3 RepliesHow would one produce a random number, ranged from say, -100 to 100?
View 3 RepliesIs there a direct way how to turn a negative number to positive using bitwise operations in Actionscript 3? I just think I've read somewhere that it is possible and faster than using Math.abs() or multiplying by -1. Or am I wrong and it was a dream after day long learning about bytes and bitwise operations?
What I saw was that bitwise NOT almost does the trick:
// outputs: 449
trace( ~(-450) );
If anyone find this question and is interested - in 5 million iterations ~(x) + 1 is 50% faster than Math.abs(x).
I recently bought a new machine and tried to put my Flash 8 software onto it. The serial number was fine, but it requested the serial number of the software I upgraded from, which I no longer have (MX, I think it was. I threw it out ages ago thinking I didn't need it ). I can't even remember what email address my macromedia/adobe account was under, it might even be under an email address for a domain I no longer have.
I do still have the software installed on my old PC. Is there anyway I can find out the serial number of the MX I upgraded from off of the Flash 8 on there? Or it is a lost cause?
How can i find the square of a number?
View 5 RepliesIm looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)

View 1 RepliesI recently purchased a macbook pro from eBay which had Flash CS4 already installed on it, but which didn't come with the original documentation or CDs that would have had the serial number. The seller said he would send along the appropriate numbers when he tracked them down, but he never got back to me again. I'd like to upgrade to Flash CS5 now, so is there any way I can find the serial number through the software itself? I've seen similar threads to this one elsewhere in the forums and the most promising answers have involved people locating truncated numbers in the software and asking Adobe to decrypt them. Unfortunately, I can't even find these truncated numbers...

I'm trying to work out a logic for a game (in Flash). In one part, given the following row:
_ _ * _ _ __ *
I need to find if all the spaces between the *'s are empty (Non-empty values other than * can occur in the row). This operation is done quite frequently. I was wondering if I could use bit representations of rows to achieve this, instead of looping through and checking the intermediate positions.
For a row _ _ * _ _ _ * represented as xx1xxx1 (x = 1 or 0), I could AND it with 0001110 so that if the answer is 0000000, the intermediate positions are empty.
The question here is, of course, how to find this second map (0001110 above) using bit operations (in Flash AS2)? (Map (1,4) -> 0110, (1,3) -> 0100 etc) Or is looping through the intermediate positions just the better choice?
I 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?
