ActionScript 3.0 :: Test For Negative Or Positive Numbers?
Nov 9, 2009Is there a way to test if a number is negative or positive.I have some clips that position themselves on and off the stage. IF one moves in the other moves out the same direction the other is moving in. This also works the same in reverse. I'm trying to do this by checking the current clips position and see if its a negative or positive number. If its a positive then I can move it onto the stage and move the other off in the same direction. Maybe there is another way of doing this but I thought if I could check its value and see if its negative or positive it would be a start.

May 12, 2009I am creating a roulette type game that calculates the winning number based on the rotation of the main wheel. I am using if/else statements to determine the winning number based on the rotation. I am tracing the rotation in the output panel. I would like my rotation to go from 0-360, but the output panel traces 0-180 then it starts counting from "-180-0"
The wheel can spin multiple times. how to keep the numbers positive from 0-360 and not have to write my if else to accomodate the negative numbers?

Jul 9, 2009I have a function set up to determine the speed of the mouse, if the mouse is moved to the left it is returned as a variable in a negative number. I also have a function to make a movie clip scroll along, at the moment if you set the speed to 3 it will move to the left. So a positive number will move the movieclip to the left So you can see my predicament because the numbers are opposite, is there way of reversing one of them?
Here it is in short

Actionscript 3 :: Turn Negative Number To Positive With Bitwise Operations?
Jul 16, 2011Is 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).
ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting A Movie Clip To Motion Tween From A Positive Value To A Negative Value?
Oct 13, 2009I'm having a problem getting a movie clip to Motion Tween from a positive value to a negative value. I have two movie/buttons on my stage. When you click one the other movie Tweens from a y value of 0 to a y value of 400. That works fine. However, when you click the other button, the movie clip should then Tween from a y value of 400 back to a y value of 0. I cannot get this reverse tween to work.
Code:
// code for positive tween
function movePeople(event:MouseEvent):void {
movePlacesTween = new Tween(pageloaderB, "y", Strong.easeOut, 0, 400, 0.5, true);
}
[Code].....
The second tween never reverses. It just stays in place.
I've also tried the same tweens using the y value of pageloaderB... so tweening from pageloaderB.y to pageloaderB.y+400, which works, but the reverse does not -- pageloaderB.y+400 to pageloaderB.y.
why the reverse tween is not functioning?

What i done there i draw a box and made it to movieclip and instance named it hook and created a invisible dot and called it dot. Then I calculated distance from box to the mouse then i took that number and put it in Math.cos command. And finally i made tweener to change box scale depending what my mouse distance from it.So if my mouse is close the box is big , if far - box is small. Ok, I want to know is there another way to do this ? Cuz , i cant think of other way to change arithmetic positive progression(like 3,6,9,12) to negative progression(like 12,9,6,3) than Math.cos command.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Negative Numbers As Target-value Of A Tween
Dec 13, 2010I'm not sure if if this has occurred to anyone before.... I'm using the built in tween-class of flash (cs4). In my script I try to display a notification-box using a slide-in effect: var slideIn = new Tween(this.warningBox, "width", Regular.easeOut, 0, 150, 0.5, true); This works. The box is invisible at start and then builds up like a flag unrolling from left to right. However, what I really want to do is sliding it in from right to left. So I tried to do this: var slideIn = new Tween(this.warningBox, "width", Regular.easeOut, 0, -150, 0.5, true); Obviously, I modified the warningbox so the pivot point is to the top right, but it still won't work. It seems the endvalue must not be a negative number. Can anyone confirm this, or have I missed something?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Negative Numbers - Counting Down From 9999 Instead Of Beginning At -0001?
Jan 30, 2011I am currently taking a value from another source and splitting it into Thousands / Hundreds / Tens / Ones to drive MC's containing images of numbers. Originally I was using this external value to drive a dynamic text box and that was absolutely fine. When the external value went below zero the dynamic text box reflected this and started counting downwards ie 0 -1, -2, -3 ......-100 etc etc. However with the system I am now trying to implement when the external value goes below zero my counters show 9999 and count down towards zero.
For example the actual value of the external value = -32 but my counter system is showing 968. Always the sum of the actual value and my counter value = 1000. So again maybe actual value is -160 but my counter shows 840.Below is the section of the script splitting the external value (roundelevation) into 1000/100/10/1's
Code:
roundelevation = Math.round(scaledelevationMils);
EliThous = Math.floor(roundelevation / 1000);
EliHund = Math.floor(roundelevation / 100) - 10 * EliThous;
EliTen = Math.floor(roundelevation / 10) - 100 * EliThous - 10 * EliHund;
EliOne = Math.floor(roundelevation) - 1000 * EliThous - 100 * EliHund - 10 * EliTen;
I am using these variables (EliThous / Elihund) etc to move to different frames of mc's inside the Mc's each frame is an image of a number.It works absolutely perfectly when the external value is above zero and my counter is counting upwards / downwards. However as soon as it begins having to deal with the external value being a negative number it begins counting down from 9999 instead of beginning at -0001 and counting -0002.how to make this work when dealing with a negative input value and I really don't want to have to go back to using the font and dynamic text box approach.

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.
