what I need to do is take a value (angle) and round it to the nearest number from a pre-determined set of values (e.g - [0, 45, 90, 180...]. The purpose of this is to restrict the angle to vertical, horizontal or diagonal movement (it's for a word search).
View 3 RepliesHow would you round a number between 2 numbers? For example if you have
ball._x = 90;
If(ball._x is closer to 100 then 0){
ball._x = 100;

i've tried making a preloader (without any tutorials) by myself, i've done everything, just i've done this:
named text box varibal: loaded
on the maintimeline's first frame i enter:
loaded=_root.getbytestotal();
all i want to do now is round the bytes off to KB. i Assume you multiply by 1000 but where do i put this code? in the brackets? new line? or what.
I have a BMI calculator that is currently working well, however when calculated, gives a VERY precise result of:Your BMI is: 24.343121332458201.I'd like it to round up/down so it just displays:[code]

whats the quickest way to round to decimal with infinite numbers?
I wanted to round 6.329784432421148+e
to 6.3297
using toFixed() rounds to .000001
Only solution I came up with was ,Number ( String( infinite num ).substring(0,6) ); To me this seems slow and CPU intensive, there has to be a more efficient way of accomplishing this.
This is my FLA I need to round the numbers in the farthest columns to 2 decimal points (ie: 19.00 rather than 19). My ultimate goal is to do it globally, but I'm not sure how to do it.
View 8 RepliesI know math.round would round a number.
but what if i wanted to round it just up.
so lets say I have 8 thumbnails, my rows are 4 thumbnails long.
so 8/4 = 2 rows.
if I have 1 thumbnail, 1/4 = 0.25 rows. I want this to round up to 1 row.
I'm making a game where you level up, and then the amount of EXP you need to level up, gets higher. The problem is, if I have it so the amount of EXP needed to get to the next level just multiply by 2, it just gets to an absurdly high number, and I don't want that. I would rather have it multiply by 1.3 or 1.5, but the problem with that is that the right side of the decimal gets all ugly to something like "60.54902380".
how would I be able to round it so there's no decimal point, or at best just one number to the right?
How can I round off a decimal number upto say three decimal places? The number comes as an output value like 0.98765e^7 for the statement outputvalue = 0.8678/InputValue. How can I make the output value rounded off as 0.988e^7?

I'm using AS3 and trying to place the number value read from an SO into 2 dynamic text boxes. I'm using a couple of test numbers (2.25 and 1.25). Oddly when I run the following script, I am having difficulty getting my test numbers to appear in the 2 text boxes (T1, T2). (Before the numbers stopped displaying altogether, they were rounding up and seemed to be 10x greater than they actually are, without my doing anything like this.) Note: The script also displays text boxes (T3, T4, T5 and T6) with messages like "above average" based on the scores-not sure if these displays are correct, since I can't view the 2 numbers that the displays are based on.Here's the code. I must be doing something wrong:
Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("G1", "/"); // using "/" as a local path should work to pick up the

I have the following NumericStepper:
<s:NumericStepper id="estimertTidCell" value="{isNaN(hostComponent.estimertTid)?0:hostComponent.estimertTid}" stepSize="0.5" maximum="5" change="hostComponent.estimertTid=estimertTidCell.value"/>
When i set the value to e.g. 1.5 through the NumericStepper and store the value, the alert in the following code correctly displays 1.5:
private var _estimertTid:Number;
[Bindable]
public function get estimertTid():Number {
[code]....
Problem: My problem is that once the NumericStepper refreshes, or reloads the variable, it displays 2 instead of 1.5, or 4 instead of 3.5 etc. Anyone got any ideas of what is causing this behavior? I would think that by setting the stepSize=0.5 it would correctly display those decimal numbers.Additional information: When i display the same variable in a spark Label, the value is correctly displayed as a decimal number.
how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
How can i check if a number is between two other numbers like:
pseudocode:
var = 458;
if (var is between 0 and 1000) give positive.
if (var is between 1001 and 2000) give negative.
if (var is between 2001 and 3000) give negative.
how would i get a random number between 1-5 but excluding one of those numbers?
like i want to generate
1,3,4,or5
or
1,2,4,or5 etc,etc

Also, what behavior do any PC users have? I'm expecting the latter since they're generally intel chipsets too?Note: once i compile the code on my PPC mac, intel macs that run the SWF (but don't recompile the FLA) do return the correct booleans that match the PPC output.
Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
