I followed a tutorial from actionscript.org , the tricky part is that i wanted to change the Kb to a % display and it's messing up.Here's the previous code [AS]lastFrame = 1;
function loadedIndicatorFrame() {
var newFrame = int((_parent.getBytesLoaded() / _parent.getBytesTotal()) * 65) + 2;
if (newFrame - lastFrame > 4) { //too far

View 5 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 RepliesMy main .swf file is 3 frames with the preloader residing in frame 1. I'm trying to get my preloader to skip frame 2 and jump straight to frame 3 if it's already cached... otherwise, go to and stop at frame 2 if it has not.
Why would I want it to do that? I have a little movie clip on frame 2 that lets the user know that loading is complete but I'm noticing it's always popping up everytime the movie is run -- I only want that movie clip on frame 2 to appear when it's loaded for the very first time. I've been using this code so far:
[Code]...
I'm guessing my problem is that it'll never skip frame 2 and always go to frame 2 followed by 3 regardless because both arguments eventually reach a fully loaded state. I thought about using somekind of loop but not exactly sure how that would solve things.
I had some code for a preloader that showed a % and stretched a bar.i wanted to modify it to instead go to frame 1 through 100 (based on % loaded) of movieclip "prloader" using the integer from "frmcounter" as the frame number.doesn't work!

What is math.round() do? In kirupa's Random numbers tutorial, he explained the use of math.floor(), but said round() was for another time. Yet I see that, and not .floor() in use in the random movement tutorial.

I want to round a whole number down to the nearest whole 10th. Like 52, becomes 50. Or 49, becomes 40. Or 2005, becomes 2000. Does that make sense? I imagine it has a math.floor approach, but I can not figure it out.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to add an eventlistener to the stage to respond to a resizing. When doing so i want to keep the relative position of a movieclip-object constant to the upper and leftmost edges, without changing the alignmode of the stage to top left. This can be achieved as shown below - examplified with two classes and reference to fla implied. The problem is now: When supplying the crucial statements with a Math.round, the movieclip-object gets displaced pixelwise with each new resizing:
myMovieClip.x -= Math.round((deltaX / 2));
myMovieClip.y -= Math.round((deltaY / 2));
Whereas the solution without Math.round is rock stable so it doesn't move at all, as it is not supposed to either! Can anyone figure out why? I know it's a luxury-problem, as my use case is solved. The problem is that i don't know why? Shouldn't the use of Math.round just assure the int-value? Such a small issue could easily spoil the whole app! And i fear that i have misunderstood something fundamental in as3, and suddenly become unpleasantly surprised.

The official docs say:
You must use the new ColorTransform() constructor to create a ColorTransform object before you can call the methods of the ColorTransform object.
So does this mean every time I want to tweak the color transform, I have to create a new instance? If so, the setter properties seem pretty pointless and my tests are showing this is the case.
So if every render I want to cycle say the redOffset based on time (to get a pulsing effect), do I have to manually create a new ColorTransform passing all constructor args from this.transform.colorTransform:
var newRedOffset:Number = ...
transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform(
transform.colorTransform.redMultiplier, transform.colorTransform.greenMultiplier,

What I want to do is take the basic functionality of this tutorial (card flipping) and trigger that action on the timeline to create an animated movie rather than something that a user with a mouse interacts with.flashandmath {dot} com/flashcs4/flip/index.html(the forum won't let me directly reference the tutorial I'm working with because i'm a new member)The tutorial uses a custom class, I'm guessing that i need to remove the eventListeners for the mouse events and call one of the functions on the timeline specific to the variables on the scene, like "card1.initApp();" ?
View 7 RepliesI'm working on a website. It's really a basic portfolio-site containing a profile, some news and a few photogalleries. The idea is to load images and text onto the pages of an open book: however I don't want a "flat" image of a book with straight angels and straight lines: I want to have a real picture of my grandpa reading from a book.
Perspective:- Is it possible to "tweak" or disort a movieclip to simulate 3d? The pages will most probably be slightly curved, and the book might not be held 100% horizontal.
Text:- What about dynamic text? Can it be tweaked like this?
Images:- Is it possible to get a good result tweaking pictures?
- How huge does a image covering most screen sizes need to be?
I have these particle system files, it actually does what I want. It makes circles come from a center point and have them expand out of the screen. However I have a couple of questions regarding those files, I wanted to add and change a couple of things:
- I would like that the circles come out in different colors, red, green and blue in randomized order.
- I would like to add a "fade out" option. Instead of having them grow out of the screen, have the option to have a defined circle size and when the circle reaches that size it fades out. Or something easier that works just the same, basically have it fade out.
- Have the circles blurred a bit. Possibly have the chance to control that too.
Then I would like to add some interactivity to the system. Basically have the circles move away from the mouse when the mouse rolls over or near that/those circle(s). Is that easy?
So 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?

View 3 RepliesI have a billiard ball system, whic detects collisions between balls and modifies their x and y velocities accordingly.I have included a friction variable and I have a very basic system for applying the force of friction for each iteration of movement:
private static var FRICTION:Number = 0.94;
public function move() : Void[code]....
This works to a reasonable level of satisfaction, but it doesn't quite feel right. The balls seem to take just a little too long to stop when they've slowed down to a very small velocity. I've tried tweaking the friction constasnt, but I still can't get sometthing that feels exactly right.

It works but the results are sometimes many decimal places long. Any way I can make my results round to two decimal places (accurately). So 5.6994 becomes 5.70 etc.
