ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert String Math Equation To Number
Oct 9, 2009
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.

i want to convert a string to a number...
for example:
private var myTextBox:TextField = new TextField();
private var myText:String = "Type here";
.....
.....
var position = int(myTextBox.text);
If the input value is "1" then it's ok. But if the input value is "-1" then I don't get the negative number. It just outputs "1"

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 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.

I have a for loop that arranges icons in rows, and I want 6 icons per row. The number of icons is variable. So I was thinking that if I can find out how to test if a number is a perfect multiple of 6 (or 7, I suppose), I could then add a line in the loop that changes the _y value of the thumb to a higher number and resets the _x value to 0, thereby creating a new line. how do you test to see if a number is round?

I have created a tween with actionscript that moves a movie clip of a cityscape along the x axis whenever the mouse is clicked.
This is my code
var skylineTween:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, skyline_mc.x,Math.floor(Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) ) + -3,2,true);
Right now it generates a random number from between -1022 and -16 (positions along the x axis).
However, sometimes the skyline movie clip only moves a few pixels and looks boring.
I added 200 pixels to the movement (Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) +200 ) and it looks better. However, sometimes this slides the movie clip past -1022 or -16 and off the stage.
How can I set the value to +200 without passing -1022 or -16?

I'm trying to play a random gallary image by making it stops at different frame every few seconds, and the actions is completely random.
The problem is, since there are only 5 different images(5 frames) I'm displaying, there is a high probability that it stays at the same frame, how do I avoid that? Like avoid staying at the same page twice, if not run the function again.

Alright,I have the MC I wanted to move everytime "A" is pressed now. But I still have one more question. Right now I have a random number generated between 1 and 10. Every time that "A" is pressed my horse (for the game) moved across the x axis in an increment between 1 and 10 (the random number). BUT the problem I'm having is that when the "A" button is pressed it loads a random number and uses that number over and over when I press the "A" button.How do I get it to load a new random number everytime "A" in pressed?

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:

Here is the problem:
var p:int = 0;
var n:Number = 0;
n = 32.999999999999999;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 33
n = 32.11111111111111;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 32
I would expect both of these to return 32. I have searched, and it seems this is an unreported bug in AS3. Or ... am I doing something wrong?
