I have a problem. I'm trying to get number values from an XML file, but when I parse them, apparently flash doesn't seem to see them as numbers. I base this off the fact that when I type this:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlNode = this.firstChild.childNodes[0];
var lAdder:Number = xmlNode.attributes.lengthAdderX;

I am trying to load htmlText to my flash file from an xml file. Everything is working properly.
But my text box is not showing the numbers inside the text.
Just wondering. Is it possible to load data from a external txt file in AS2? in particular using the data loaded as a number variable to use for say a Maximum number in a timer counter? for example, say the text file has the variable&numOfPhotos=3how can you make it so flash AS2 can read the variable and convert the number (which I guess is a string) into a Number variable, ready for the swf to use in number related activities?

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
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?

View 8 Repliescreate a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.
what is the syntax to pick how can i pick 6 random numbers from 49 numbers
View 9 RepliesI am generating random numbers between two numbers by the code bellow:
ActionScript Code:
public function randomRange(max:Number, min:Number = 0):Number
{
return Math.round(Math.random() * (1+max - min) + min);
}
trace(randomRange(3,-31));
But I need a code which will return some times '3' and some times '-31'. Not the number between them.
I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.
View 5 RepliesEverything seems to be a string right now & that kinda ruins the whole xml as an internal data structure thing, I don't need a big tree of string I need typed data :-/ Are there any changes I can make to either my XML files or my AS3 code that will force it to cast ints as ints and Numbers as Numbers? Or maybe some kind of type schema I can impose? Not really worked with XML til recently so chances are I'm just ignorant of the canonical way to deal with this...
View 4 RepliesI have a problem with my input text fieldsI to type numbers with commas like "2,5" but flash only allows me to type numbers with dots, like "2.5"
In Sweden where I live we only use commas on numbers.
Now I have some input textfields that I must change so they work with commas instead of dots.
What I have is 5 input boxes (*input1,input2,input3,input4,input5) and one dynamic text box (*total).
So I add input 1 and input2. Then subtract input3-5 for my total of 49.99 and my incorrect always fires.

View 10 Repliesim working on a project for a website, i'm currently having a lot of trouble when i try to add two numbers together.
[Code]...
it all works fine apart from this line here where its adding the old "numberstore" in with "number2" to create the new "numberstore". I've tried all different combinations to get this to work, but all i keep getting is e.g. 1+1 = 11 not 1+1=2.
I have 12 icons for example, and each icon have a number and I want (when each one is selected) to make the total of them.
Example:
bublle1 = 12%
bublle2 = 24% when i click this too the total number should appear on screen 36%
How do I add numbers in Actionscript 3? I have two dynamic texts
totalscore.text = "3"; and
myscore.text = "2";
I'm trying to add them like this
totalscore.text += myscore.text;
And I get this answer 32 instead of 5 it just attaches them instead of adding. why? I also tried it like this
var my_score:Number = myscore.text;
totalscore.text += my_score;
But it still attaches them numbers together instead of adding.
Is there a way to find out how far a number is from zero, like -30 would be 30 digits from zero and the same for +30.

I'm simply trying to add two input text fields' numbers together when the user presses the left arrow key on the keyboard.

I have a text field that displays a number from a variable. How can I make it so this number is always formatted to 2 decimal places?
For example, 1 would be changed to 1.00 and 1.5 would be 1.50, etc.

What is the optimal way to round my numbers to the precision of .05? Is there something clever to be done with bit-shifting to get this result? For example, I would like:
