what actionscript do i need to round off a number to 2 decimal points? i have this script which brings me the number but consisting of 8 digits!
digital = _root.val[0].substr(0,_root.val[0].indexOf("<br>"));
digital = Math.abs(digital);

I know math.round would round a number.
but what if i wanted to round it just up.
so lets say I have 8 thumbnails, my rows are 4 thumbnails long.
so 8/4 = 2 rows.
if I have 1 thumbnail, 1/4 = 0.25 rows. I want this to round up to 1 row.
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?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to calculate loan payments using actionscript.
i'd like to have my variable's value like this:

instead of:
843.3454 (how it's displaying now)
since I'm ultimately going to display $dollar amounts.
I know how to use Math.round() but I'd like to go to two decimal places!
what I need to do is take a value (angle) and round it to the nearest number from a pre-determined set of values (e.g - [0, 45, 90, 180...]. The purpose of this is to restrict the angle to vertical, horizontal or diagonal movement (it's for a word search).
View 3 RepliesI'm using AS3 and trying to place the number value read from an SO into 2 dynamic text boxes. I'm using a couple of test numbers (2.25 and 1.25). Oddly when I run the following script, I am having difficulty getting my test numbers to appear in the 2 text boxes (T1, T2). (Before the numbers stopped displaying altogether, they were rounding up and seemed to be 10x greater than they actually are, without my doing anything like this.) Note: The script also displays text boxes (T3, T4, T5 and T6) with messages like "above average" based on the scores-not sure if these displays are correct, since I can't view the 2 numbers that the displays are based on.Here's the code. I must be doing something wrong:

I have the following NumericStepper:
<s:NumericStepper id="estimertTidCell" value="{isNaN(hostComponent.estimertTid)?0:hostComponent.estimertTid}" stepSize="0.5" maximum="5" change="hostComponent.estimertTid=estimertTidCell.value"/>
When i set the value to e.g. 1.5 through the NumericStepper and store the value, the alert in the following code correctly displays 1.5:
private var _estimertTid:Number;
[Bindable]
public function get estimertTid():Number {
[code]....
Problem: My problem is that once the NumericStepper refreshes, or reloads the variable, it displays 2 instead of 1.5, or 4 instead of 3.5 etc. Anyone got any ideas of what is causing this behavior? I would think that by setting the stepSize=0.5 it would correctly display those decimal numbers.Additional information: When i display the same variable in a spark Label, the value is correctly displayed as a decimal number.
Is there a way, or even better a class available in flash to help me round a number to a specific point. For example, I have need to have a number rounded to the nearest 15th, how would I do that?

View 1 RepliesI want to find out if the user is currently using more than one finger to draw on the screen.currently, the TouchEvent object doesn't have any property like touchCounts, which tells the number of touches on the screen. it just has a touchPointID, which helps to identify a particular touch.
do i need to handle this on my own ? for eg: in the TOUCH_BEGIN event handler i could see how many different unique touchPointID i have received and update the count myself.

View 3 RepliesI've developed a project with the help of kglad in which the user enters in a numerical amount into an input text box and 3 other boxes (dynamic text boxes) display numerical amounts based on that input.With the great help of kglad I have gotten everything to work just perfectly except that those 3 boxes don't round off the results they display.
For example, if I input 265.35 into tf1 (text field 1), tf2 displays 132.675, tf3 displays 66.3375, and tf4 dispalys 132.675. Now according to the math that is programmed, that is correct. But I need them to display: 132.68, 66.34, and 132.68, either rounding up or down accordingly.
How would you round a number between 2 numbers? For example if you have
ball._x = 90;
If(ball._x is closer to 100 then 0){
ball._x = 100;

i've tried making a preloader (without any tutorials) by myself, i've done everything, just i've done this:

on the maintimeline's first frame i enter:

I've been using a simple function I wrote to numerically round numbers to a specified number of decimal places like the following example:
ActionScript Code:
private function roundNumber(input:Number, decimal:Number):Number {
var multiplier:Number = Math.pow(10, decimal);
return Math.round(input*multiplier)/multiplier;
}
It has worked great, until I came upon the need to round extremely large numbers. When the already large number is multiplied by, say 10 to the 5th power, it can't hold all the decimal places, and strange results can return.The only other option I've thought of would be to convert the number to a string using the Number.toFixed() method, then convert that back into a number. I feel like this is somewhat inefficient as the string conversion has to be done, then the string parsed to "chop off" the extra decimals, then parsed again to convert back to a number.So, my question is, are there any better ways to round large numbers? If not, am I over-thinking the string method's efficiency?
does anyone have or know of a simple sure fire way to round up a figure to 2 decimal places.
flash has a horible habbit of removing 0's.
I need to round up figures but having to split a number like 100.056 (fine when its a string, but not when its a number)
rounding up the 056 gets complicated as flash will see it as 56.

I want to get the amount of a number after the decimal place in order to round the number in increments of .25, .5, .75, or the next whole number.
For example the number is 5.13 it would produce 13 which I could check if < 25 and then round to 5.25 and so on for .5 .75 and the next whole number.
My friend and I are working on a flash project in actionscript 3, and we are trying to move several movieclips by a portion of a pixel. Since we have filters on these movieclips, flash rounds their location to the nearest pixel, making the motion look jumpy. Is there anything that can be done to stop flash from rounding their location to the nearest pixel?

I need to round at only the top or bottom of a border container not all four corners, is their some CSS that I can use or do I have to create two new skins. I was reading their used to be a property for this for HBox back in the old days, is their not a property for BorderContainer now?
View 1 RepliesI am doing the following in actionscript in Coldfusion Flash Forms:
90 / 3.7
Gives me:
24.3243243243243
Whereas the calculator gives me:
24.32432432432432
Note the extra 2 at the end.
So my problem occurs when I am trying to get the original value of 90 by taking the 24.3243243243243 * 3.7 and then I get 89.9999999999 which is wrong.
Why is Actionscript truncating the value and how do I avoid this so I get the proper amount that the calculator gets?
I cannot seem to find a method for rounding my numbers in the following way:
53=50
55=60
58=60
