Mar 13, 2012im trying to create a conversion utility that uses number input via calculator style buttons to generate conversion for the following distances:
-Miles to/from KM
-cm to/from mm
-binary to/from decimal
Now i was thinking of possibly having the options contained within an drop down and an input text field where the numbers are entered via the calculator buttons. The only thing im struggling with is how to perform the actual calculations on the different formats. Has anyone had to do anything similar in the past? Ive only found currency conversion examples and not sure how to apply that to these conversions.
ActionScript 3 :: Flash - Math.floor Acting Like Math.round?
Mar 7, 2011Here 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?

or some variation thereof. I understand that the function first finds the maximum value of two values then turns around and uses that to find the minimum between two values.why this is done? And how do you know when to use it?

View 3 RepliesWorking Out A Scale Formula?
Mar 14, 2009I'm having a real problem trying to work this out...
A: I start with a movieclip on stage. it's 100x100.
B: I set xscale and yscale to 150.
C: I use "attachMovie" to add a little man into the square.The problem is, the man has an xscale of 100, but he is also scaled with the movieclip square container. So he appears too big.
D: What i would like to know, is what formula you would use to reduce his scale so he is the correct height, if the container movieclip had an xscale of 100?

If I have an object with x,y,z coordinates, and its movement speed, pitch, and yaw, what formula would I use for movement? So for example, if the object is at 0,0,0, moves 6 units per frame, and has pitch 30 degrees and yaw 15 degrees, what will be its coordinates next frame?

I thinks it's done separately in each channel using the transparency values.There might be some bitwise operations going on there but I'm not sure.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Doesn't Like My Formula?
Mar 31, 2011I am trying to code a loan calculator into Flash, however AS3 doesn't like my formula and won't calculate it, can someone help? Here is what I have:
loan=15000
apr=13
term=48
var loan_amount = (apr + (apr / (Math.pow(trm, (1 + apr)) -1 ))) * loan;
When I print out the loan_amount I get a 0.If I do: var loan_amount = (Math.pow(trm, (1 + apr)) -1); it will give me the result 1.0331079714165e55
As soon as I add the next part of the equation (apr / (Math.pow(trm, (1 + apr)) -1 )); it will give me the actual apr value as the result instead of the apr divided by the 1.0331079714165e55.Likewise, if I try to add a fixed value instead of the apr variable, it will return that fixed value instead of doing the math.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Make Formula For Calculation Of Speed
Jan 3, 2011I´d like to know how would I make a formula for the calculation of speed.It´s not as simple as distance divided by time.I want something different.I have an helicopter.This helicopter is landed.He will take off with a small speed, but increasing speed.What I want is.This helicopter movement. In other words, increasing vertical speed, in a given time, say, 2.4 seconds, in a give distance, say, 100 pixels.After that he keeps vertical speed constantly. So I think the helicopter will start with its vertical speed slow, increasing, then, decreasing untill it reachs its constant vertical speed.

Jan 7, 2010Currently, we have an activity in class wherein we're supposed to resize a Movieclip to a specified size restricted to any value between 50 and 250% that will be entered in an input text field. If the value entered goes beyond 250 or below 50%, it's also supposed to show a warning that the entered value isn't valid. Also, when a value is entered in the textfield, supposedly, it can be entered either by using the ENTER key or by clicking the resize button.
I've already managed to resize the movie clip according to the amount specified but I think there's something wrong with the "If" condition in my resizeShape function, because it still accepts values above 250 and below 50%. Also, I don't know how to make it so that both pressing the ENTER key and clicking the resize button enters the value without repeating the whole resizeShape function.Here's what I've done so far:
ActionScript Code:
var input_txt:TextField=new TextField();
var warningBig:TextField=new TextField();
var warningSmall:TextField=new TextField();[code]...........

ActionScript 2.0 :: Mathematics - Determine The Formula Of The Curve?
Jun 30, 2004I can't pinpoint or make up a set of calculus to determine the right formula which describes a curve that goes through 3 specific points...I'll try to say it with a more hand-on approach. I have a spaceship which can move vertically,located to the left.The enemies, obviously, arrive from the right. Now, when i click anywhere on the scene,I want a missile/plasma orb/projectile to be shot from the spaceship, but doing more than going in a straight line: imagine 3 points, one at the spaceship, one in front (therefore to the right) of the spaceship (5/10 units in front) and the third at the click location. How do I determine the formula of the curve that goes along these three points?

Actionscript 3 :: Mathematical Error In Physics Restitution Formula
Aug 14, 2011I admit it. I'm a mathematical imbecile. should I be attempting this at home? Probably not without serious injury. Anyway. Anyone that has a bit of experience in games and physics who can review this code and provide insight into why there is a built in "loss" in velocity in prototype would be hugely admired.
the concept: the actor falls from the sky, at some point intersects a boundary (trampoline.y) after which gravity (in this example a value of 1.6) stops operating and a restitution factor (in this case a value of -6) takes over.
right now I'm trying to create a zero-sum situation where you have the same velocity coming out of the trampoline "bounce" (hero.y >= trampoline.y) as you did going in. That's just not the case as the traces reveal.
[Code]...
For now I'm hoping to have a solution where the velocity on the tic after the character leaves contact with the trampoline is the same (but negative) of the velocity just prior to going in. Heck I've even tried storing and retrieving the entry position and velocity, but that just looks like a hiccup.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag Easing Formula - Panning Motion Of X?
Oct 24, 2010I've got an object (camera) I'm trying to pan. This code works perfectly for panning it on the Y axis, but it's the exact opposite for the natural panning motion of X. By simply subtracting the velocity (as opposed to adding), the camera.x creates a crazy "Ease In" effect that shoots the camera off at a crazy speed. I've tried reversing the order of everything, but without the result I'm seeking.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ScrollBar Formula - Add Extra Space After Content?
Feb 11, 2011so i have some scrollbar(track and button) and some content.the formula i am using to calculate to calculate y of content is the following:
//contentStarting.y and scrollbarButtonStarting.y are positions of sprites at the moment they are created
content.y = -((contentStarting.y -scrollbarButtonStarting.y) +scrollbarButton.y) * ((content.height- content.mask.height) / (scrollbarTrack.height - scrollbarButton.height));
the only problem i have is that i need to add extra space after content, so basically i want forumla to act as if content. height = content.height + extraSpace , but unfortunatelly setting the height scalesY, which is what i don't want.

Flash :: Use A Parabola Formula In Firing An Arrow That Will Always Intercept A Given Point
May 11, 2011First note: mathematically, I'm not that skilled at all. I played a game on iPhone a while back where you press a point, and an arrow fires from your castle which will always intersect the point you pressed. I wanted to make a similar game, thinking it would be an easy quick make; then I ran into the realization that the mathematics for this is actually beyond my skill level.
I'm assuming they're using a parabola formula or something which would determine the velocity and angle needed when the arrow is launched for the arrow to always intersect the clicked point. I only vaguely remember how parabolas work from school and have no chance of working out any formulas.
