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?
View 2 RepliesI need to convert a decimal to a fraction.
I searched Google for AS3 decimal to fraction code examples and found code that appeared to be more complex than what I wrote.
This code is part of a larger application which will run on mobile devices, efficiency is priority #1.
The code below works fine but probably can be simplified.
ActionScript Code:
// Enter a decimal you would like converted to a fraction //
var decimal = "2.5";

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 would like to know if you can convert decimal to binary using actionscript 3.0?

View 8 RepliesI 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 $10.00 format. I have tried everything from Math.ceil, round, etc. It either will round up or just display the number with no decimal.
.AS File Code
Code:
public function GetCartValue(decimals:Number) {
var dataforAlternate = _level.BodyOilsMc.my_nstep.value;
moneysign= "$";

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.
View 2 RepliesI'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.

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 have started working with colors and have got a need for playing with hexadecimals. I tried making a variable which adds two hexadecimals, and it works but when I trace the answer, it comes out in decimals. How can I make it remain in hexadecimal or convert the decimal to hexadecimal?
View 6 RepliesIs there a native method for converting character entity references into charCodes in ActionScript? For example, has a decimal or numeric entity reference of a. I assume that the charCode would be 8736 since I've found that charCodes of lower decimal values match.
View 1 RepliesIm 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

I have a cost calculator in flash, only the price comes out with about a hundred decimal places... any convenient way to round it up to 2? I was hoping there was some (fairly easy) way to nicely format an output..
View 3 RepliesI have a simple AS1 script running on a button:
//
on (release) {
a = Number(answer2);
w = Number(withvat);
v = Number(vat2);
answer2 = (w / 117.5 * 100);
vat2 = (w / 117.5 * 100 * 0.175);
}
It works but the results are sometimes many decimal places long. Any way I can make my results round to two decimal places (accurately). So 5.6994 becomes 5.70 etc.

But when you put a decimal into the dynamic text, then it calculates without the decimal. here is an example.
20 / 5.5 = 4
10 / 2.2 = 5
3.2 / 2 = 1.6
3.2 + 2 = 5
