Is there an easy way or some kind of function that can turn a string into an equation? Say I have:
var string = "4 + 5";
is there something that can get it so it will be counted as 9?
I was wondering if there was a way to convert a string containing math symbols such as +,-,*,/ and numbers. I am building a calculator.I have a string variable that I keep appending the value of the button.In the end the string looks something like this 8+3+3-4*9.I was wondering if there was a way to solve the equation just using the information in the string. I tried setting a Number to the string and I would get NaN. The hard part about this is trying to count for the math oop i.e Multiplying before adding.
View 1 RepliesI am pretty new to AS, and I am assuming there is a way to do this and I am just not figuring it out. Basically, I am trying to use a service that returns xml and return an Object regardless of the structure of the xml. In .Net I use the XmlSerializer.Deserialize class... is there equivalent in AS?
I was able to find SimpleXMLDecoder but I can't seem to get it to work - it also looks like it might only work with nodes? Either way, the examples out there are sparse and hard to follow, I just want to know how to take xml like this:

And simply turn it into an Object - is this possible without writing my own parser?
how I would turn a concatenated string into an array name so I can use it as an array?
I have this code:
ActionScript Code:
var waveNumber:Number = 0;
currentWave = "wave" + waveNumber;
trace(currentWave + [0]);
Is it possible to turn an array into a string? I'm stuck on project.
For example:
contents is an array containing: ("~a","~b","~c")
var my_str:String = var contents:Array;
contents = my_str.split("~");
trace(contents);
I'm trying to delete the ~ that's been inserted, (in another part of my code earlier)
The result should be: (a,b,c)
I am making a simple debugger window in ActionScript for myself where I can add and remove variables I want to track. I was to be able to add variables to the list by just doing something like
DebuggerMonitor.trackVar(variable).
My question is, is there any way I can turn "variable" itself (the name, not the value) into a String to be added into a text field?
So I know that my server on real form submit turns %CE%EB%E5%E3+%DF%EA%F3%F8%EA%E8%ED into Олег Якушкин . How to peform string transfer from Олег Якушкин into %CE%EB%E5%E3+%DF%EA%F3%F8%EA%E8%ED using ActionScript? (Its ok if a space character as %20, not + , PHP should handle that fine.)
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering, and hoping, if I can access and use a specific instance of an object if I only have the name of the object instance in a string? The code below perhaps explains it a littler better.

I am trying to condense my code so i can use only one IF statement to change audio clips for multiple button rollovers. When rolloving over button 1 for example, i made a string variable (mySoundString) appear that is mySound1(this is the name of the audio file i want to play). However, i cant do the command mySoundString.play(); because it is a string. How do i turn the string into a new sound.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var mySound1:aud1=new aud1;
var mySound2:aud2=new aud2
for(var i =1;i<3;i++){

View 12 RepliesI'm using an online service (heyzap.com if anyone wanted to know) for storing small amounts of data from my Flash app. The data is sent to the server as an object, which can contain any kind of structure including arrays, numbers, strings etc. However, when the object is returned back to the app, for some reason, it has been turned into a string representation of the object. I don't think it should be like that - but it is. So if I create a textbox on screen and write the code:
myTextbox.text = receivedObject;
it shows this:
{"myArray":[{"myInteger":0,"myString":"string0","myData":[1,2,3]},

I have a bit of text "this is the text want I want to do is replace the text, I have just added another is for good measure".This is stored as a standard string but I want to turn this into html and add css classes like, in this example wrapping around the word "is"; "this is the text want I want to do is replace the text, I have just added another is for good measure"
View 1 RepliesI'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

I need to find out the equation make it so that the fire that is attached in the mc moves as if it didn't inherit the missile's coordinates(i.e make it so the fire moves like it was outside the missile's mc, and doesn't move with it) I know it has something to do with the circular rotation code found in the tutorials but i just need someone to write out the code.

View 4 RepliesI would like to know if theirs a way where you can type in a text field something like "5*5".
And then on enter, the document would take the database and be able to return 25.
I am quite confused due to the fact that content that you input into a textfield must be a String and when you use the Number() converter the system gets confused.
I want to display a Quadratic equation with format like (4x2). I want to display 2 as superscript automatically after typing x in the textbox.
View 1 RepliesI am very new to action script, and using action script 2.0, I am having a problem getting an input textbox to read in mathematical formulas. To enter 5x^2, the key sequence to be used is {5}{x}{2}. i.e., the characters must be formatted as it is being typed.
Ultimately, I want to enter equations like 5x^2-4x-2.
The textbox should not allow non-numerical characters other than x.
I have 3 balls and i want them to turn around a center point.The physics is right but I'm finding confusing how to apply the equation to any object of my array.
Here it goes the code:
Code:
var movies = ["ball_mc", "ball2_mc", "ball3_mc"];
var angle:Number = 0;
var centerX:Number = center_mc._x;

do you know of a WYSIWYG equation editor, like DragMath, implemented in javascript/mathml or Flash? I could embed DragMath as well, but I was wondering if there's a way to have a good WYSIWYG formula editor without requiring the users to run a Java applet.

View 4 RepliesThe project I'm working on requires a text field that the user can input an equation and the result is passed on to a variable. The problem is whenever you put in an equation it always comes out zero. If you just put in a number it passes it on properly. Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to do.[code]...
