View 5 Repliesi'd like to negate a number and would like to know if there's a built in method that will convert a negative number to a positive OR a positive into a negative, depending on the number.
i know about Math.abs(), but that only seems to convert negative into positive. is there a method that will do both?

How do I make my var dinnerImageNum always equal to or greater than 1?
Is there a direct way how to turn a negative number to positive using bitwise operations in Actionscript 3? I just think I've read somewhere that it is possible and faster than using Math.abs() or multiplying by -1. Or am I wrong and it was a dream after day long learning about bytes and bitwise operations?
What I saw was that bitwise NOT almost does the trick:
// outputs: 449
trace( ~(-450) );
If anyone find this question and is interested - in 5 million iterations ~(x) + 1 is 50% faster than Math.abs(x).

I'm doing a simple hex converter with a input window(hex) and output window(dec)
Currently i'm using a simple script on a button to covert the hex to dec
on (release) {
outputBox = parseInt(inputBox, 16);
}
This is ok if you want to convert one hex number at a time, what i want to do is input lots of hex values (in the input window) and convert them to dec (to the output window) in one go.
I am using the following code to create an array of grid coordinates. After pulling my hair out for quite some time, I did a trace (typeof) and found out that the coordinates are going into the array as objects. Obviously, I need numbers. Does anyone know how to convert the array values to numbers instead of objects? (as you can see, I wrapped my push command with the Number() operator, but it still turns out to be objects!)

View 3 RepliesI have an FLV player that provides a read-only property called myPlayer.timecode and it displays the time in seconds as a String (xx.xxx).I am trying to assign that value to a variable so I can convert it to a number to use in some calculations, comparisons, etc. I can assign this property to a dynamic text box and display it on the screen, but I cannot assign it to a variable and have the variable value show correctly on the screen. What do I need to do?Ex: myPlayer.timecode value is 10.000 and shows as 10.000 in the dynamic text box called myTime1. (I entered the property into the Var: input box).Created a String variable called timePlayed, and assigned it to a dynamic text box called myTime2.However, I cannot find a way to assign the property myPlayer.timecode to this variable. I can only display a value of "undefined" or "NaN" in the text box myTime2.
View 3 RepliesI've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.
I composed this function to convert a number to a time format (HH:MM:SS.T):
PHP Code:
function convert_sec_HHMMSST(_arg:Number):String {
var hr:int;
var hrText:String;

It works. But I'm thinking it could be optimized for performance. How would you pare it down?
