I have been using flash AS2 for about 12 months but I'm totally at a loss with something that seems totally straightforwards...How can I input only numeric data so that AS recognises it as numbers not text?in the test below the input field in _root.myNumand I'm using a button (_root.in2) to test. I've tried:
Code:
this.in2.onRelease=function(){
var numVar:Number = parseInt(_root.myNum);

I used to use flash years ago, and have only recently come back to it in my course in university so im very rusty.
What i am looking to do is in flash create two sliders where the user can slide along to their shoe size, and their weight, so that as they do that, the numbers in two other boxes will periodically change to help indicate what size snowboard they need to get.
eg. as user makes shoe size slider go along to larger sizes, at certain points the number in a box labelled board width will increase.
also as an added touch I would like a character to actually increase in size as the slider is used, I'd imagine for this I would need to have a movieclip of the character getting bigger and allow the slider to progress through the frames of this movieclip.
XFL is the new uncompressed ADOBE FLASH (CS5) source file, it consists from XML definitions, most of them are clear but unfortunately, the important one are strange. Looking to various existing sources, I can see shape's EDGE definitions like:

how do I sort the list component by numerical values? At the moment, the sort sorts as follows 1 10 100 2 20 200 3 30 300...i want it to be 1 2 3 10 20 30 100 200 300...I am using the following code to accomplish this.[code].Is there a way I can reuse my listeners because basically the actions of the lists are the same...when you mouse over the elements I want the booths to highlight.when you click it zooms to a booth and highlights it something else...I am accomplishing this by duplicating the listeners [code]
View 2 RepliesThis ActionScript is creating reading an XML file, and laying out thumbnail images. I'm stuck though! Each thumbnail is given a value of thumbnail[x], going from 0-5. I wrote some mouse actions and need to access each thumbnail's number, not entire name (where I have it in red below).

I'm currently underway in designing the UI for my game's level editor, I'm not using Flash's build in UI components instead I'm doing it from scratch using OOP.I want to have buttons, drop down menus, panels/windows that contain text fields and buttons.
At the moment I have the buttons down whenever one is created it is added to a static class's static array, and given a unique id number dependent on how many buttons have been created and added to the array so far.I figured this would be good as whenever a button is created I could apply an Event Listener looking for a MouseEvent.CLICK. Then just using the event.currentTarget.getID(), to find out what button has been pressed.
I'm about to start making panels/windows so the user can enter numerical values then submit them via a button, which will also close the window. I was thinking about doing more of the same and having static classes for each input type which lists all instances of that type of object.
I have an app (historical timeline) in which I am using one object (driver) to scroll another (driven) - like a scrollbox.There are limits on the movement of the driver, so I am using the % of the driver's movement to drive the % of the driven object's movement. It works fine on the ends of the driven, but I need to distribute the movement so that the driven object moves more at the end than at the beginning.Basically I need to multiply the % so that it moves from 0 - 1 non linearly.

View 1 RepliesHere is the problem:
var p:int = 0;
var n:Number = 0;
n = 32.999999999999999;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 33
n = 32.11111111111111;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 32
I would expect both of these to return 32. I have searched, and it seems this is an unreported bug in AS3. Or ... am I doing something wrong?
Wat is the diffrence between these two?
View 2 RepliesI have a code in which I have to use Math.round if a certain value is for example 3.67 (67 is higher than 50) and Math.ceil if a value is for example 3.23 (23 is lower than 50). What can I do to make flash calculate if what after the dot �.� in 3.23 (for example) is higher than 50?

[Code]...
I'm trying to pull from the profilename attribute in the test.xml file, so I'm wondering if it's possible to pass in a value/argument in the addEventListener function as I defined above. Is this possible at all to do? I hope my explanation makes sense.
This is a question about concept.
I have an XML file, let's call it base:
<base id="default">
<tags>
<tag>tag_one</tag>
[Code]....
But I'm not happy with my solutions. I don't know anything about XSLT or other XML transformation tools, but I think someone must have done this before.
The key goal I'm looking for is ease to write the XML by hand (both the base and the "extended").
I'm open to new solutions besides XML, if they are easy to write manually.
I write a code which is return the following XML which contain in a string type variable.

Now i want to multiply all the nodes with 3 and again store in that string type variable. how can i do this?
I was playing a flash game when a friend of mine showed me some Cheat Engine trick where you can search for integers in a flash game. eg your score is 100. To find the score, you'll need to search for the value 800 in Cheat Engine—this is probably a popular trick nowadays.I've never played with Cheat Engine before, but I understand that it's a memory editor? I thought it had something to do with bits and bytes; 8 bits = 1 byte, but I'm not sure at all.why you multiply by 8?
View 1 RepliesThe scenario is that I am making a site mith multiply swf files that I want to be preloaded in the background. For example, when you are on the main page, I want page 2,3,4 and 5 to be loaded during the time you se page 1. so fi you klick page 2 the preloaded continue the preloading process,, for the rest of the swf files
View 6 Repliesi must load one swf and multiply it 3 times. The swf is loaded (it is more than simple ) but the main problem is how to multiply it. I can't find method like duplicateMovieClip(). I need the animation and it can't be done with just taking the BitmapData of the swf. I try with some searches but no result for now. I think it could be done with creating a class runtime if it's possible.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to control the blend.multiply transparency value?
code:
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.BlendMode;
var c:Sprite = new Sprite();

I know its kinda nonsense controlling this value, but what I m trying to achieve is a less "transparency" over the objects, but maintaining the multiply effect.
I have a point which is 3,5 I want to scale, or multiply this point, by a factor of 5. To give me 15,25 What I'd really like to be able to do is: mypoint *= 5; but that doesn't work. I can't find any suitable method in the point class either. So what I'm trying to do now, which all research indicates should work, is:

I've been playing with the color transform in actionscript and have discovered that using the multiplier functions it colors black areas and preserves white by default. I really need it work the other way around.
View 2 RepliesIf you go to [URL] and check out the preloaders on the various pages, you'll see that when it reaches 100% many circles are randomly resized to eventually cover the whole preloader. I'm trying to do something similar to that effect using just Actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI've recently downloaded the Flash CS5 and we wanted to upgrade license, but we experience VERY bad problem.Steps:
1. Create blank FLA AS 3.0 movie.
2. Add to first frame (stage), for example, TextArea component and name it "xxx".
3. Set in "Properties" window in "Component Parameters" tab:text - "hello world"maxChars - 10
4. Add script to first frame with next code:[code]
SO NUMERICAL PARAMETERS DON'T WORK! I not a new to Flash. Have worked more than 5 years with this. Also we've tested such behaviour with latest (downloaded today and yesterday) packages from OFFICIAL url...we've tested this behavoiur on different machines, with different operating systems.
Can I get a letter from the alphabet using a numerical value, without assigning an array with the entire alphabet?
I seem to vaguely remember such a function, or meaby I'm imagining things...?
how can i call a numerical value from a frame to another using an input text and use that number as a value for a variable.
View 2 RepliesSo here is a piece of code that I have seen used a lot but don't really quite understand:
myVar = Math.min(Math.max(myVar, this.min), this.max);
or some variation thereof. I understand that the function first finds the maximum value of two values then turns around and uses that to find the minimum between two values.why this is done? And how do you know when to use it?

I am working on a project where I need a lot of calculations.I found a really strange and very annoying problem in Flash: If you try to multiply 17.4*32.8 the result is 570.7199999999999 !!! This is just a single example.In this way my application looks buggy sometimes. What's the reason for this wrong result?In my application I don't want to round the numbers .
