I can get the cube root of a number by setting the index to a third:
ActionScript Code:
Math.pow(27, 1/3)
In this case though, the result is NaN
ActionScript Code:
Math.pow(-27, 1/3)
Why doesn't flash just assume that the result I am after is the simple result of -3? Also, how can I get around this?
How to write a function for cube root?
View 2 Repliescheck if a negative number is less than another negative number. The if condition logic seems to be in order as far as i can tell but it doesent work for some reason :
Code:
public function minuscheck(testnumber:int):void
{
if (testnumber < -1)
[code]....
Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

View 2 RepliesAs far as I know, you can't refer to an array using negative indices in actionsscript, can you? I know it's possible in C, C++ and D, but not in actionsscript - to my knowledge. See here's my problem:

xpos += menuitems[i-1]._width/2+miborder+menuitems[i]._width/2;

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to test if a number is negative or positive.I have some clips that position themselves on and off the stage. IF one moves in the other moves out the same direction the other is moving in. This also works the same in reverse. I'm trying to do this by checking the current clips position and see if its a negative or positive number. If its a positive then I can move it onto the stage and move the other off in the same direction. Maybe there is another way of doing this but I thought if I could check its value and see if its negative or positive it would be a start.

View 10 RepliesI am creating a roulette type game that calculates the winning number based on the rotation of the main wheel. I am using if/else statements to determine the winning number based on the rotation. I am tracing the rotation in the output panel. I would like my rotation to go from 0-360, but the output panel traces 0-180 then it starts counting from "-180-0"
The wheel can spin multiple times. how to keep the numbers positive from 0-360 and not have to write my if else to accomodate the negative numbers?
I'm working on a AS3 project where users will decide whether a random number is whole number or not.There are three boxes (box1, box2, box3), which will display random numbers. Under each box there are two check buttons (for example: bt1 and bt2).There are also two boxes counting correct and incorrect answers (correct1 and correct2). There is a button generating random numbers again (bt_2).The negative random numbers are not recognized by my conditional. Or I don't know how to handle conditional with negative numbers. Positive or negative numbers display the correct check mark? Here is my AS3

I am uploading videos to my new site (aspirin creative) and the player will not recognize any .f4v videos. I changed the extension on one to .flv and it now appears to recognize and play the video. Also, I didnt build the site myself and the developer not Define terms of video playback (which has been less than great so far) the player seems to be a rather strange resolution (600x340) which is not native 16:9 and wont recognize 4:3 encodes without stretching and warping. I have tried to encode close to this in media encoder but as soon as I select .flv over .f4v in the options my ratios seem to go mad, not keeping the preset and not letting me set to anything that is actually 16:9?!
View 2 RepliesI have an .swf navigation carousel that is 650 pixels high, the bottom 200 pixels being reserved for the reflection of the carousel. The reflection is very subtle and is not considered important information, so we would like to remove vertical scrollbars when the window is high enough to fit the topmost 450 pixels, but not the reflection.
I tried to accomplish this by setting a margin-bottom: -200px to the flash <object> but this only made the container's height shrink 200 pixels, causing the background pattern to cut before the bottom of the page.the Flash itself is still taking up 650 pixels.
Is there some "proper" fix to this, other than hiding/showing the scrollbars actively using javascript?

View 2 RepliesI have a function set up to determine the speed of the mouse, if the mouse is moved to the left it is returned as a variable in a negative number. I also have a function to make a movie clip scroll along, at the moment if you set the speed to 3 it will move to the left. So a positive number will move the movieclip to the left So you can see my predicament because the numbers are opposite, is there way of reversing one of them?
Here it is in short

I'm working on a AS3 project where users will decide whether a random number is whole number or not.

There are also two boxes counting correct and incorrect answers (correct1 and correct2). There is a button generating random numbers again (bt_2).[code]...
I have a counter and when I click on this button I want it to decrease by two but not into the negative numbers. If it is 1 it should go to 0, if it is 2 it should go to zero if it is 3 it should go to 1.
Code:
on (press){
meme._x = Math.random()*200;
meme._y = Math.random()*200;
if(loader <= "1"){
}else if(loader = "1"){
kek = loader-1
counterclk.text=doh
loader=kek;
}else{
kek = loader-2
countclk.text= kek
loader = kek;
}}
At the moment it will do everything perfectly except when it is 1 when I click on it nothing changes.
