ActionScript 3.0 :: Dividing An Amount Evenly Within Limits
Dec 14, 2009
I often need to divide quantities in recipes. Normally, this is straightforward: I have an array of items to divide and a total, so I can do something like
[Code]...
However, this time I have been handed a curve ball: some of the items have a maximum amount they can be. For example, item A has a maximum amount of .25, item B is maximum of 1, the other items have no limits. So if the total amount is 3, and I am dividing it by 3 items I can't simply set each one's amount to 1 (as I normally would, as the code above does). I need to set the amount of A to .25 so there is still the .75 "left over" that I now need to apply evenly to the remaining items.
So that means the other 2 items B and C would be 1.375 each -- but, as I said above B also has a limit (of 1), so B would be 1 and C (no limits) would get the whole .75 remainder, and be 1.75. So A=.25, B= 1, C=1.75 for the total of 3. My question is, even conceptually, how would I approach a problem such as this in AS?

I'm working in Actionscript 3, but this is pretty general.I'd like to make a simple function that I can call, e.g. GiveCords(Width, Height, Num) that will take a width and height, map that out and using the Num variable place the given amount evenly across the space.Say I give it a value of 500, 500, 1. I'd expect it to return an X, Y position of 250, 250.But I'd like it to return an array of given points with X, Y.So If I gave it 10 points, it would find the best position for them all to be of even distance apart from each other.

I have been having a serious issue with custom video where flash is saying that the amount of the video so far played is MORE than the amount that it has downloaded, which is clearly impossible. This results in various problems, such as the playhead (scrubber) moving past the end of the loader bar. I posted a simple demo that displays the amount loaded and the amount played in text fields. You can see it at: [URL][Code]...

So I have been having a serious issue with custom video where flash is saying that the amount of the video so far played is MORE than the amount that it has downloaded, which is clearly impossible. This results in various problems, such as the playhead (scrubber) moving past the end of the loader bar.I posted a simple demo that displays the amount loaded and the amount played in text fields. You can see it at: URL...[code]I encoded the video at a high rate so that it would download slowly. It may not playback smoothly, which I am not concerned about. What I am concerned about is the numbers below the video what are derived from ns.bytesLoaded and ns.time. If you watch it for a bit, the amount played should exceed the amount loaded.
I double checked the video duration and the bytestotal that flash is reporting and they are correct. I don't know of any way to check the accuracy of bytesloaded.If your internet connection is super fast, you may not see the issue - it only occurs when it is playing back faster than it is downloading - if this is the case, you may need to throttle your speed down, or start downloading a large file while you are watching this demo in order to see the issue.But this is a serious issue and means that building custom video interfaces with loadbars and playheads is impossible!

I have an image of a human body which needs to divided into Hexagonal Grid pattern and the hexagons should be highlighted on mouse rollover and also clicks. It will be time consuming if I make these hexagons manually coz they will around 1000 in numbers.
Also, I need to zoom the hexagons on clicks.

I am doing the following in actionscript in Coldfusion Flash Forms:
90 / 3.7
Gives me:
24.3243243243243
Whereas the calculator gives me:
24.32432432432432
Note the extra 2 at the end.
So my problem occurs when I am trying to get the original value of 90 by taking the 24.3243243243243 * 3.7 and then I get 89.9999999999 which is wrong.
Why is Actionscript truncating the value and how do I avoid this so I get the proper amount that the calculator gets?

I am trying to calculate the values on user entered text fields (which only accept numbers) along with the values of user selected combo boxes. I have a function to a button:
reviewQ.calcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calcAns);
function calcAns(e:MouseEvent):void
{
reviewQ.calcAns_text.text = "Your calculated result is " +
[Code]....
Right now, all I am getting is the actual values entered in the text fields and selected in the combo boxes. How can I get the sum of this values to show on my "calcAns_text.text"?

I have two movieclips, I have managed to calculate the distance between them. The problem is I now need to figure out how to add movieclips between the distance of the two movieclips and if I add more than one movieclip they need to be evenly spaced and all should follow a straight path from the two original movieclips.
ActionScript Code:
var numOfItems:Number = 5;
var pnt1X:Number = pnt1.x;
var pnt1Y:Number = pnt1.y;
var pnt2X:Number = pnt2.x;
var pnt2Y:Number = pnt2.y;

I am using he uiloader component to load 4 external swf's. But I've got a problem with spreading the uiloaders evenly on the stage when it resizes (with different browser sizes). How can I solve this to put the :
1 uiloader on 0% vertical axis
2 uiloader on 25% vertical axis
3 uiloader on 50% vertical axis
4 uiloader on 75% vertical axis

I have the following code, which works beautifully when all the boxes are the same height. The basic point is that I have three boxes on the stage, 10 pixels apart. If you click and drag those boxes above or below each other, they reorganize themselves.

I am working on The ausdcf.org to try adding several banner ads in swf format to the top. The client chose not to go with Google AdManager, but prefer a "minimal approach" to do this task. What I am trying to do is sort of "mimicking" the way Google AdManager does for banners, that is, to split the chance of each particular swf to be shown to the visitor evenly among the banner collection.
Definitely I can add some jQuery code to do this from client-side, a random number generator and if-else statement would work - just $.load() it However, what if I'd like to make sure those disabled Javascript (is there any now btw?) still be able to see different swfs in each visit.

I have 16 columns in a DataGrid in my Flex app. The first 15 look fine, with the column, simply containing the text, but the last one has a lot of extra space. Essentially, the columns are just big enough to fit the first 15 and all that extra space is tacked onto the 16th column.
How can I evenly distribute the space over each column?

I'm using a very wide object in Flash CS3, and I didn't have a problem with the pasteboard automatically expanding to contain it in Flash 8 Pro, but apparently CS3 has limits as to how far it'll let the pasteboard expand, -2880 px to 3620 px or thereabouts. This means I have to move my object off of x:0 y:0 to work with it. This won't kill me, but it does seem to be a step down from Flash 8. Anyone have any news on why this change was made, and if there's any way to correct it?

If we have a Bitamp with more than 16777216 pixels (or one side larger than 8191 px) Flash 10 doesn't show it (Flash 9 and earlier has smaller limits even).One solution to this is to use scrollRect to limit the size displayed.OK, that works.
But Flash 10 has another problem, if we use any 3D property (rotationX, z, etc), flash transforms your MC in bitmap, so we can reach the above limit even when we are not working with bitmaps...A bigger problem is that although our MC could be really small (at least less than 16777216 pixels), when we apply a 3D transform like rotationX, the displayed MC can grows enough to reach the limit. And... we can't use scrollRect with 3D MC. But we have a trick here too, there are two ways to use scrollRect with 3D:
1. Create a 2D parent, then create the 3D displayObject inside of that parent.
2. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the 2D parent.
3. Create a grandparent container to hold the first two items.
4. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the grandparent container.
5. Apply scrollRect to the grandparent container.
These methods are really differents, with the second I couldn't use scrollRect to avoid reaching the bitmap limit. I think that's because in the second we apply scrollRect to the parent and 3D to the child, so nothing breakes our child from growing.With the firs method we apply scrollRect to the child, and the 3D property to the parent.
Code:
var p: Sprite = new Sprite();
var c: Sprite = new Sprite();
p.addChild(c);
