I have an xml file containing color values to be applied in a series of shapes in my swf. However, when I try to assign the values, it doesn't work, it recognizes only a string and assigns the value 0 to the colors.
Code:
//my_color.xml
<color_list>
<color_1>0xFFBB00</color_1>
<color_n>0xAA33FF</color_n>
</color_list>
The xml is then parsed into a variable called xmlColor.
//.fla
var c1:uint = xmlColor.color_1;
trace (xmlColor.color_1) //0xFFBB00
trace (c1) //0

I'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.
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 was wondering if there was a way to convert a string containing math symbols such as +,-,*,/ and numbers. I am building a calculator.I have a string variable that I keep appending the value of the button.In the end the string looks something like this 8+3+3-4*9.I was wondering if there was a way to solve the equation just using the information in the string. I tried setting a Number to the string and I would get NaN. The hard part about this is trying to count for the math oop i.e Multiplying before adding.
View 1 RepliesI have started working with colors and have got a need for playing with hexadecimals.

View 6 RepliesI want to use a TextFormat object as an argument to a function that uses its properties to generate a css style object to use to style some text. My reason for doing this is that I also use the TextFormat object directly to format som other non-html formatted text.
This all works fine except for the color property.a TextFormat object takes a color reference in the format 0xFF0000a style object takes the color ref in the format "#FF0000" I need to read the color property of the TextFormat object and reformat it to the hash prefix form that the stylesheet understands. I can't seem to get this to work though.
First off, if I try to access the textformat color property flash seems to convert it to a decimal number somehow, which does not seem terriby helpful. Secondly, even if I use bitwise operations to turn the number into r.g.b. values, I don't know how I can then turn those into a hash prefixed string of the hexadecimal value.I'm working in Flash 8 pro, AS 2.0 (using SE|PY), on windows XP
I parse a file from which I fetch String variables representing Hexadecimal values, in order to use them as RGB color codes.
How to convert these Strings into Hexadecimal values ?
For example, I load a variable with the value "0xFFFFFF" from a file. This varaible is a String. I want to use the value in a SetRGB function, but it can not handle String, and can't do the conversion itself. So, how can make such a conversion ?
my_color.setRGB("0xRRGGBB") does not work. I need my_color.setRGB(0xRRGGBB).
How do I convert a string (e.g. "100") to a number or boolean?
I know this is probably quite basic, but it escapes me at the moment.
how do convert the myString var which is a string to the class name?

var t:myString = myString()
Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
