I'm having troubles declaring decimal numbers.For instance I'm trying to create a variable which is 0.8.I do this:
Code:
var defenseValue:Number = 0.8;
However, when I try using defenseValue it always ends up being NaN.I also tried var defenseValue:Number = new Number(0.8); But that doens't work either.
How I can format numbers in Flash so that it will show two decimal places regardless of the number itself?
View 7 RepliesI have a function that adds the values of an array together and displays the output in a textArea(myText).
The code below works fine, but the output number is "11.5" I need this to be "11.50" and again if we set the array index [1] to "0" instead of ".50" I would need to show "11.00" instead of "11" which is what I am getting now!
var myArray:Array = new Array(1.50,.50,0,9.50); function addValues(myArray:Array):Number{ var arraySum:Number = 0; for (var i:uint=0; i< myArray.length; i++){ arraySum += myArray[i]; } return arraySum } trace(addValues(myArray)); myText.text = String (addValues(myArray));
whats the quickest way to round to decimal with infinite numbers?
I wanted to round 6.329784432421148+e
to 6.3297
using toFixed() rounds to .000001
Only solution I came up with was ,Number ( String( infinite num ).substring(0,6) ); To me this seems slow and CPU intensive, there has to be a more efficient way of accomplishing this.
This is my FLA I need to round the numbers in the farthest columns to 2 decimal points (ie: 19.00 rather than 19). My ultimate goal is to do it globally, but I'm not sure how to do it.

View 6 RepliesIs there some easy way to restrict TextInput to accept decimal numbers in range -99.999999 to +99.999999 ?
it is Spark TextInput.
I am trying to restrict a TextField to 2 numbers and 1 decimal place, so something like: 3.5, 22, and 33.5 is acceptable.
View 5 RepliesI've frequently come across the issue when placing a movieclip or bitmap, the resting position of said object will land on a decimal value, not a nice, full pixel value. For instance, I drag a movie clip into a scene and it lands on a position of: X: 27.2, Y: 56.9, when I'd like it to be X: 27, Y: 57.
Now, this wouldn't bother me as much if I were dealing only in vector shapes. I currently work as a developer in the videogame industry and often times, for optimization purposes, I need to use both bitmaps and vectors. Plus, as a UI designer, text is very important to use throughout a game's UI. If you notice, when a font gets placed in an in-between position related to pixels, the text becomes blurry looking in appearance (graphical elements around the text can also appear blurry when in between pixel values as well). This can make UI pages or HUDs look sloppy and unprofessional.
I've tried enabling snapping (including enabling the grid, setting the grid to 1x1 pixel, then enabling both pixel snapping and grid snapping), but nothing seems to help in getting objects to place on whole pixels. Yes, I can manually change pixel values to whole numbers (which I'm currently doing). But when you have to manually position 100 keys on a keyboard, it gets old pretty quick!
I am trying to round some numbers in two decimal point and I run into a bizare behavior.

View 9 RepliesI've a regex that matches comma separated numbers with an optional two digit decimal part in a given multiline text.
/(?<=s|^)d{1,3}(,d{3})*(.d{2})?(?=s|$)/m
It matches strings like 1, 12, 12.34, 12,345.67 etc successfully. How can I modify it to match a number with only the decimal part like .23?
EDIT: Just to clarify - I would like to modify the regex so that it matches 12, 12.34 and .34
And I am looking for 'stand alone' valid numbers. i.e., number-strings whose boundaries are either white space or start/end of line/string.
making my number value to 2 decimal places...
I have 2 string that contain a number in dynamic text (pricing_txt /pricing_txt2) that i have turned into numbers (myNumber/myNumber2). I then have a calculation that adds these two together and i need the result to be 2 decimal places long.
I have used the code
Code:
("number"*100)/100
which from looking on mny sites should solve the problem but it is still not working. My code is below...
Code:
var myString:String = pricing_txt.text;
var myString2:String = pricing2_txt.text;

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
I am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"

create a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.
what is the syntax to pick how can i pick 6 random numbers from 49 numbers
View 9 RepliesI am generating random numbers between two numbers by the code bellow:
ActionScript Code:
public function randomRange(max:Number, min:Number = 0):Number
{
return Math.round(Math.random() * (1+max - min) + min);
}
trace(randomRange(3,-31));
But I need a code which will return some times '3' and some times '-31'. Not the number between them.
