When adding Numbers, AS3 seems to add incorrectly?:
Code:
var num:Number = 5.4;
for(var i:int=0; i<100; i++)
{

Why do I get Numbers into the tens of decimal points?
I'm trying to get the sum of two number values in an XML file, so I'm doing this:
PHP Code:
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height; // '200'
_root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing; // '20'
_root.bar_y= _root.gallery_height+_root.spacing;
trace(_root.bar_y); //outputs 20020
The answer is supposed to be 220, but it comes out at as 20020 because the interpreter treats then as strings.
I can fix the problem by casting the type using the Number() method this way:
PHP Code:
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height; // '200'
_root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing; // '20'
_root.bar_y= Number(_root.gallery_height)+Number(_root.spacing);
trace(_root.bar_y); //outputs 220
This works fine, but is it *the right* way of doing it? Why is Flash treating my numbers as strings?
private function getPercentage(max:Number, value:Number):int
{
return Number((value*100) / max);

View 5 RepliesI'm pulling text from an XML file that was created throug Filemaker. Some of the text has special characters like ampersands or quotes etc. In the XML file those characters look like they would look in a regular HTML file (& or ") But once it's imported into the textfield in Flash it still only shows the long form (&) instead of the character. In the Property Inspector I clicked on "Render Text as HTML" but it doesn't make a different.

i load in AS3 data into flash and mantain their data type? Like receiving an array and even with arrays in it and recognizing that is an array instead of a standard string.
And if this is possible is it more reliable then using XML?
I want to find a way to only allow certain objects into an array that have a certain word in thier class name. Or at least find the optimal way of doing something like this. Heres the details. I have an Array that stores all the objects dropped into a cart.

currMC = (e.target as MovieClip);
myCart.itemsInCart.push(currMC);
trace(myCart.itemsInCart);}

View 0 RepliesI have parsed the data from an xml doc to global vars in flash and need to use a few of them as numbers for things the position of "nodes" on the screen. However I can not cast the data stored as a var to a number or int value.
For example in the code below when the set Node button is pressed it traces the "Node's" current X value, then the value in the global var gotten from the xml, which contains the x position of where to place the Node.
Next it creates a new var of Number Type and assigns it the Number value of the string in global var. It then traces the new value of SNtopLeftX and sets the x pos of the Node's movie clip to the value of SNtopLeftX However the Node doesn't move and this is the output I get from the traces
Start Node is at x = -734.5
nod_topLeftX is 16
TopLeftX = 16
SN TopLeftX = NaN
I do not understand why I am getting NaN when the string of nod_topLefX is 16, any ideas?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my Code
butNodeSet.onRelease = function() {
trace ("Start Node is at x = " + mcStartNode._x);

So I'm importing this file called tbox.txt and in that file it has a variable, num, which equals 3. Now when I run the debug window, it comes back as num = "3". So its a string. so I do num=num-0 to make it a number instead of a string. And it doesn't work so I do a trace on num and it comes back as undefined.... which is what I dont understand, how can it be "3" and undefined at the same time.
