ActionScript 3.0 :: Generating Subtraction Equations That Only Return Positive Values?
Jan 21, 2010
create a random subtraction equation where the result will always be positive? For example, my current scripting will return something lilke 3-6=-3. I don't want equations like this- only postive answers
//random numbers//1.function randomNumbers(min:Number,max:Number) var Results:Number=Math.floor(Math.random()*max)+min; return Results;}
//2.new_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showRandomnumber);

When I'd like to know the angle between two vectors, sometimes I get negative values (radian or degree). How do you convert them so I always get positive values? Flash seems to have a strange system for calculating angles. I used the following code for doing this, but sometimes I get negative values.
Code:
public function rangedAngleBetween(otherVector:EuclideanVector):Number {
var firstAngle:Number;
var secondAngle:Number;
var angle:Number;
firstAngle = Math.atan2(otherVector.position.y, otherVector.position.x);

I'm pulling info from an XML file... there are three variables (year, month, day) that I need to process further in another function, but I can't figure out how to send them out of the function and into the next for processing.
Is it possible to make their values globally accessible?[code]...

little bit what Im trying to do: I have 2 SWF, one.swf and two.swf 1 LocalConnection to send 1 variable from one.swf to two.swf
one.swf code:
var param:Number = new Number(5);
var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sending_lc.send("_Connection1", "myMethod", param);
[code]...
I need to be able to use param value out of the function, because a I need to perform a switch with this value, since the function wich receives de param value is an anonymous function I dont know how to do to get the value from outside the function because a dont have a reference name to the function so, the normal way to return a value is not going to do the job.

Im calling a function in lua from actionscript using callstack : Array =
luaAlchemyInstance.doString("luafunction");
my function should return some values
function luafunction()
return true, 125
end
When i look at the callstack array returned by the function in as3,I recieve only the success/fail part.The array length is 1, true, and contains none of my return values.

I'm developing using Actionscript 3.0 for Flash Player 10.3.I'm using computeSpectrum() on a loaded .mp3. Running *Event.ENTER_FRAME* to get snapshots of each sample in an byteArray.The ByteArray contains 512 values (256 for each channel). These values are FFT Spectrum, ranging from 0 to 1.I can't use the peak frequency for each of the samples (as I found found out!) because the highest value is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. As a result I'm getting lots of random values all over the place.Of course I'm getting some correct too, but that's not enough.

How can i get a single value extracted from a XML where i have this value several times?
consider this
Code: Select all<pnode>
<node>
[code]....
I want a code that output to me the result in <cnode> for example but just one time.
If i do "Xml.node.cnode;", the output will be
Code: Select all<cnode>Aloc</cnode>
<cnode>Aloc</cnode>
And i need this output

have this code that's supposed to return the an array that holds the values that were contained within an XML node.
[Code]...
for some reason, the code won't return anything. the output just says "undefined". Would a good workaround consist of putting the return function within a setInterval method?

I trying to populate a combobox from a .php file and return the values of the selection. I have the .php set up to where it outputs something like
&artists=anartist,anartist2,anartist3, etc..they have names..I already have the combobox set up to where it displays
anartist
anartist2
anartist3
after you click the dropdown arrow..How would I get it to return a the numerical value for the artist (ex: anartist would be "0" since it is first in the list) and put it into a variable so that when it is selected it could be placed into an eval() function to create a variable such as "albumcover0" to be loaded through a function. I have been reading tutorials for hours to no avail.I want a single function to produce the number from the selected artist and place it into a variable, then go through all of the loadImage(for the "album image") etc functions..they will be functions that I have made already previously and call all of them with the number in the called fuctions (ex: loadImage(0)) where "0" is the number derived from the variable out of the combo box.Ive tried tons of tutorials, I think that it has something to do with me using flash mx 2004, and as2 turned on.

I'm trying to make a login function that receives the username and password as arguments, does all the proper URLRequest and URLLoader stuff inside it, and retrieves some values from the database. Then, it puts those values inside an object (a little associative array really) and returns them. I've put 'trace' sentences all over the function, and it seems to be working without a problem and is retrieving the right values from the database. However, when I try to assign the returned value with something like:

I am working on background subtraction with a webcam. I have an event listener for a mouse event which takes a snapshot from the webcam, then I draw the difference between what the webcam sees (video) and the still image that has been taken by the webcam on a mouse click. I want the webcam to take a picture of an empty room and then to show a silhouette of whoever walks into the room after that, but I am having trouble getting just a plain silhouette (the webcam remains in the same position as when the mouse is clicked). I have tried thresholding, but with that method I am getting detail inside the silhouette.
If anyone could just give me a plain english explanation of how the threshold object works, in particular the 'mask' parameter, that would be a huge help and also the 'draw' function, as I think that is where the key may lie!!

i'm trying to subtract a very small value from given height.
myMC._height -= .05;
it just doesn't subtract anything. so is flash ignoring to subtract it, possibly because i've too much in my flash file? then again, this works: myMC._height -= .20;

I have a divided box that has 3 panels in it... when a certain tab in tab navigator is clicked, then the sidebar with the three panels changed. One tab might show one Panel, another tab might show two of the panels and so on.
I can turn panels invisible and hide the dividers and ever almost positions the panels right, but the dividers still exists so it's not as dynamic as I would like.
Is their an easier way to add and remove panels from the Divided box that won't take as much manual configuration and hacking to make look right?
The problem is once I hide a panel the divider still exists.

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 350: There is no method with the name 'easeOutBounce'.
return(Math.easeOutBounce(t * 2 - d, 0, c, d) * 0.500000 + c * 0.500000 + b);
Why does it say there is no method with the name bounceEaseOut. How I can use these in my flash movies.

Virtually the only dynamic ease-tweening you ever see in Actionscript is the ubiquitous "exponential ease-out." You know, the Zeno's paradox, go halfway every time, Barney's menu method:
distance = finalX - _x;
_x += distance / 2;
It's wonderfully simple and easy to code, but it lacks flexibility. You can choose your destination, but you can't specify, "I want to get there in 40 frames." Also, easing *in* with the same method is not so easy. There are many mathematical approaches to calculating an eased tween. I've derived some easing equations using three different curves: quadratic, sinusoidal, and exponential (as well as a trivial linear equation). Each of the three curves has its own particular "style" of easing; it's quite fun to compare their aesthetics.
All of the equations allow you to specify the beginning value, the change in the value, the duration of the tween, and the current time. Note that the equations will work for both frame-based and time-based animation. That is, duration and current time can be either frames or seconds/milliseconds.Here are the quadratic easing equations. I'll post the other two sets soon.
Code:
// simple linear tweening - no acceleration
// t: current time, b: beginning value, c: change in value, d: duration
Math.linearTween = function (t, b, c, d) {
[code]....
Right now, the equations are all set at "maximum easing", analogous to an easing setting of 100% in Flash's Frame panel. It is fairly simple to adapt the equations so you can specify an easing percentage. Personally, I almost always use 100% manual easing within Flash.

I am working with this function that moves an object around a center point in a perfect circle and am trying to modify it to move it in an oval shape that is 1/2 as high as it is wide?
Basically, I have a set speed
var myVelocity:Number = 0.25;
Then I calculate my Sine and Cosine based on the speed
var myCos:Number = Math.cos(myVelocity);
var mySin:Number = Math.sin(myVelocity);
Then I figure the distance of the the object from a fixed center points along each axis and
var x1:Number = myBall.x - centerX;
var y1:Number = myBall.y - centerY;
var x2:Number = myCos * x1 - mySin * y1;
var y2:Number = myCos * y1 + mySin * x1;
myBall.x = centerX + x2;
myBall.y = centerY + y2;
I have another function that figures x and y based upon myBall.x = centerX + cos(angle) * radius; that is easy enough to modify the radius to become an ellipse, but is there an easy way to mod the one above to become an ellipse? I want to do this to be more efficient with the code and reduce the number of math function calls
