has anyone had any problems with addition? I'm trying to get two numbers to add and instead it is concatenating them together as a string, however when I multiply, divide, or even subtract them it works fine.
View 10 RepliesI need to get an XML node by using this syntax:
[pseudo code]
xml.node["subnode"].@string.children();
[real code where _xml is XML]
_xmlList:XMLList = _xml.cases["case"][@id == event.target._id].files.children();
And yes, case is a reserved word - therefore the brackets and quotes.
event.target._id is a string, but I can't seem to figure out how to concatenate the @ (at sign) with a string to get the attribute (or the node that corresponds to the attribute).
I've tried _xml.cases["case"].(@id == event.target._id).files.children();
But it doesn't work. How am I totally off in the wrong direction?
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?
I'm having trouble getting the following to work:
I have declared an array "playlistArray" which will hold a series of track names (for an mp3 player.)I have declared a URLVariable "playlistVariables" which loads the data from an external text file.If I brute-force assign values from playlistVariables to playlistArray, everything works fine:
playlistArray[0] = playlistVariables.track0;
If I test this with trace(playlistArray[0]) I get the track name I am looking for. But obviously I don't want to brute-force assign all those values, I want to use a "for" loop:
for (var i:int = 0; i<maxTracks; i++) {
playlistArray[i] = ["playlistVariables.track"+(i)];
trace(playlistArray[i]);
When I do this,I end up with playlistArray[0] containing the string "playlistVariables. track0" rather than the value of playlistVariables.track0.

I'm wanting to make a small program that when people paste in some long text like below:

05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package acquired in amount of 16.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 2.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package acquired in amount of 11.
That I can have a button that will ad up the numbers on the right side
So the solution would be: 33

I need to pull numbers out of a string. I can easily iterate over all the characters, but the problem I am having is that often the numbers are zeroes. Is there a way to convert a string to an integer other than casting (since int("0") and int("a") both return 0)? Basically I need to be able to differentiate between "string1string" and "string10string".
View 3 RepliesI need to remove the text from a string ie "C99X"or "B53" and leave the numbers. Which is the best way to do this?
View 2 Repliesvar myNumber:Number = 1.8;
trace(myNumber);
The above gives "1.7999999999999998"
conversion of String(myNumber) also gives "1.7999999999999998"
This only happens with certain numbers. If (myNumber == 1.4) it doesn't give me this problem.
I've checked with the debugger and the values are correct both before and after the trace or String conversion. However, the string itself is incorrect.
I am working on a simple video game where, when a randomized character is struck, an "explode" function kicks in creating an "explosion" unique to that randomized character.

I I have an alpha-numeric string as a variable. I would like to extract (from left to right) all of the numbers from the string and then push them into an array. Below, is what I have going so far, but it stops after the first number it meets. I was under the impression that the RegExp.exec runs through the entire string before stopping.
var testMenu:RegExp = /d/;
var whichTarget:String = me.target.name[code]..........
when I trace my array, it is just filled with the first number that is encountered. So, in the two examples above the array beomes [1] (when the string that is executed is "menu1sub2hypo3" and then [3] when the string that is executed is "menu3sub4hypo8". It craps out after the first number is reached.What I really want is that the array gets filled with [1, 2, 3] in the first example and [3, 4, 8] in the second example. How in Helsinki would I do that? Does the exec function need to be looped in any way?
Not so important right now but thinking a little down the line: what regular expression would I need to find "25" instead of just "2" if I run this RegExp.exec on a string that may look like this "menu25sub3hypo6"?
What would be the best way to simply take a string like

and make myString = "totallyawesomestring";

I have an external interface call which I need to pass several values to. Each value has an indentifier string and the value itself.
Code: ExternalInterface.call("submitIUR", answers +"promo", promo+ "url", nextUrl); The problem is that when I pass this through to the javascript function, flash concatenates the identifier strings. So for example if promo is 12345 when passed through the "url" indentifier gets tacked on the end so I get 12345url.
Is there an easy way to separate out the variables being passed through to stop the strings being tacked on to the variables?
