ActionScript 2.0 :: Convert Decimal Number To Scientific Notation?
Jul 21, 2010
I've got a calculator that i created in as2 that converts different units of measurement. However, right now it always converts the numbers into a decimal number like 0.33333333 or 450.72. How in the world would i convert these decimal numbers to scientific notation? For example, say i have a number: 12,700. Expressed in scientific notation, this would be 1.27x10^4.I hope there is an easy way to make flash convert to such a number system? I know its easy to round numbers in decimal, but have never worked with scientific notation before.

I have the following: ActionScript Code: if ((player.charVelocity < 9.0180945396304027e-26 && player.charVelocity > -9.0180945396304027e-26)) it seems to be firing as soon as charVelocity gets between 1 and -1. Am I writing that correctly? I assume it would work as I copied the syntax it was outputting for the variable value (which is set to 'int')

how to convert a decimal value to a hexadecimal with actionscript...
I want to make a funtion which will assign a random color to a movieclip... And the "set rgb" function requires the variable passed to be in hex. Bummer.
Also I could solve this problem if I could convert a string to a hex number insted of a decimal like with parseInt()
I think the solution may lie within the bitwise operators >> and <<, etc,... But I have no clue as to their use...

I'm not familiar with actionscript 3.0, but I must use it for a project I was assigned. The final product will be a program that will take a decimal input value and then convert it to a fraction. I have searched the web for a couple hours now and have found very useful info on this topic in the actionscript 2.0 forum, but nothing for 3.0.providing a function that will convert a decimal value to a fraction?

I can't seem to find a function to convert a character to a decimal.
Example: Convert string 'A' into its decimal form '65'.
Background: I'm trying to take an input character value (anything from a to ZZ), substring its characters, and into uppercase (eg. G, Z), covert each character to decimal (eg. 71, 90) and then reduce those numbers, such that A=0, B=1, Z = 25 and finally add them. GZ = 6+25 = 31.
It's for an X,Y co-ord system that uses A-ZZ for X, and numbers for Y.

I am having trouble converting my total price in the cart text field to decimal. I have on the main timeline I have a several numeric steppers and add to cart button.
In my .as file I have the following code that takes the price * quantity and displays the total but not in the decimal $10.00 format. I have tried everything from Math.ceil, round, etc. It either will round up or just display the number with no decimal.
.AS File Code
Code:
public function GetCartValue(decimals:Number) {
var dataforAlternate = _level.BodyOilsMc.my_nstep.value;
moneysign= "$";
//trace("AS File"+""+dataforAlternate+" Products");

Basically, I am experiencing an inconsistency with the behavior of an equation that is calculating the change in y position from one movieclip sequentially from frame to frame, and transforming the amount of change from a smaller range to an amount of change to a larger range; moving the target mc between two points. The inconsistency is that target mc doesn't always reach the top and bottom .y points, even though the slider mc does.

I am trying to do a calculation which will eventually (hopefully) yield the total length of time it will take to download a certain size file over different broadband speeds.
//amount_total is the total file size (GB)
//multiplied by 1024 to give me total megabytes
mb = Number (amount_total*1024)
//15 is time (s) to download 1MB

So, I am left with a total time of eg: 4.5 hours.i would like a standard number I can use across my movie to convert 4.5 hours to 4hrs 30, or 4.30 for simplicity.If I have 0.5 hours as a total, it would be much easier for the user to read it .30 hours.

if I have a map of say, Wisconsin, and I know what the Latitude coords (degrees, hours, minutes) of the top and bottom of the map, and I know how many pixels tall the map is, then I should be able to convert, with math, degrees:hours:mins to pixels. (same thing with longitude, but lets just focus on one way first)
I would first find out how may hours (minutes would be over kill for my app) there are to a pixel. Thats pretty easy. But this gives me a decimal number. How do i convert a decimal value (like 10.25) back to degrees and hours (in other words, how do i make .25 a "60" based value)? Ultimately, i want the user to be able to input coords in the form of degrees, hours, mins. Then convert that to X, Y (to place a marker on the map).
Has any one had experience with this or know how to do this?

I want to get decimal part of the number in this case 67 (number = 67 ) First problem is internal calculations
ActionScript Code:
var number:Number = 987123456.67;
var intNum:Number = Math.floor(number);
var decimal = parseFloat(String(number - intNum));
trace(decimal); //outputs 0.6699999570846558, instead of 0.67
I wonder is there a any way to doit besides using toString?

I'm making a game where you level up, and then the amount of EXP you need to level up, gets higher. The problem is, if I have it so the amount of EXP needed to get to the next level just multiply by 2, it just gets to an absurdly high number, and I don't want that. I would rather have it multiply by 1.3 or 1.5, but the problem with that is that the right side of the decimal gets all ugly to something like "60.54902380".
how would I be able to round it so there's no decimal point, or at best just one number to the right?

How can I round off a decimal number upto say three decimal places? The number comes as an output value like 0.98765e^7 for the statement outputvalue = 0.8678/InputValue. How can I make the output value rounded off as 0.988e^7?

I want to get rounded number
Example:
I want to get full number I write
Code:
cas=15.02
int(cas)
and I get 15
But when I write these
Code:
cas=15.02
lol=cas - int(cas)
trace(lol)
I get 0.0199999999999996 instead of 0.02. I need to get only decimals so that i will be able to write 15.02 like 15:02 or 1.2 like 01:20. I need to write numbers like in digital clock.

Im trying to convert a flash binary-decimal converter to another programming language (TI-Basic). I've got all of it down except one key part. I've got a solid backing of actionscript understanding but find myself unable to understand the following statement:
if (iNumber%2) { bin = "1"+bin; }
from this tutorial
I realize that inumber%2 will return a value being the remainder of inumber divided by 2, but how can this be a conditional? "if (2) { }" doesn't work for conditonals im used to. Or if your a TI-Basic wiz
p.s. how do you wrap actionscript tags around content in a post on the forum?
