Actionscript 3 :: Turn Negative Number To Positive With Bitwise Operations?
Jul 16, 2011Is there a direct way how to turn a negative number to positive using bitwise operations in Actionscript 3? I just think I've read somewhere that it is possible and faster than using Math.abs() or multiplying by -1. Or am I wrong and it was a dream after day long learning about bytes and bitwise operations?
What I saw was that bitwise NOT almost does the trick:
// outputs: 449
trace( ~(-450) );
If anyone find this question and is interested - in 5 million iterations ~(x) + 1 is 50% faster than Math.abs(x).

It's sounds so simple but my mind is blank.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Take The Name Of A Variable And Turn It Into A String?
Apr 15, 2012I am making a simple debugger window in ActionScript for myself where I can add and remove variables I want to track. I was to be able to add variables to the list by just doing something like
DebuggerMonitor.trackVar(variable).
My question is, is there any way I can turn "variable" itself (the name, not the value) into a String to be added into a text field?

Game Engine :: Flash Multiplayer Turn By Turn?
Oct 7, 2011I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Value Of A Number Variable?
Mar 7, 2012Im having an unusual problem tracking the value of a number variable....I have a number stored in a variable that changes up and down from 0 to 1 i.e. 0, 0.1, 0.2, etc, etc. This variable serves as an audio volume that is used with the soundTransform class.Im using the .text property for a text box:
ActionScript Code:
trackVolText_txt.text = Math.floor(_trackVolumes[1] * 10).toString();
And here is my volume down code, there is a volume up section that does the same job but reverse:
ActionScript Code:
function volumeDown(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if(_trackVolumes[1] < 1)[code].....
If I manually type in "10" in the text box to represent full volume so as soon as the .swf file loads it says "10" in the text box, I only get the readings: 10, 1 and 0. If I leave the text box blank, it will then increment and decrement 10,9,8,7,6,etc,etc.
My question is: can I somehow have a value manually typed into the dynamic text box without the above problem happening?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Concatenate A Name And Variable Number?
Nov 20, 2007I'm trying to concatenate a name and variable number. Then trace it, so answer3 should output from my loaded xml data "water". Instead all I can get to trace is the word "answer3". If I type "answer3" in the trace I get the variable im looking for. If I type [this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()] in the trace I get number 3. How do I go about concatinating the word answer and a dynamic number.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using A Variable Number From An External File
Oct 30, 2009Im running AS2 on Flash CS4 for this: I've found a million posts on similar topics, but none seem to do what I want, even though I feel like its very simple. I've tried a ton of different codes and can't get anything to work. All I want is for Flash to pull a number variable from an external file, lets just say a txt for now. I then want to be able to use this variable for calculations within flash. The only thing I can get to semi-work is having a txt file that says MyNum=5 and then putting the following in flash: loadVariables("Test.txt" , _root);
If I trace the variable "MyNum" it will output the right value, but its as a string no matter what I do. My most recent attempt to get it to be a number is to put the following on a later frame:
var NewVar:Number = MyNum;
var NewVar2:Number = NewVar + 1
trace(NewVar2);
Despite hardcoding multiple variables to be numbers, the output I get is 51, which means its still displaying as a string. My other issue is that you have to wait several frames before the variable is recognized. Do you have to wait numerous frames to use these loaded variables? If so, is there a way I can code it so that flash will just wait until it has the variable before moving on? I can't seem to get any loading function to work for it, but I don't just want to pull my next action down the timeline some arbitrary number of frames and hope its enough for flash to pull that number from the file.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Selecting Random Number From Variable
May 30, 2010So what I have here is a button that will take away a random number from a variable (in this case being money) this is nothing more than a learning experience and I just wish to broaden my horizons on flash AS.
Actionscript Code:
on (release) { money -= random(200); }on (release) {gotoAndPlay (2);}
While this code works just fine the only problem i have with it is that it will select a number from (0-200). Is there a way I can set this up to select a random number BETWEEN 2 numbers? EX: (150-200)
ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating MCs When Variable Reaches Certain Number
Feb 18, 2003I'm trying to duplicate a movie clip when a variable reaches a certain number.. this is the code I used...
if (numBlts<300) {
_root.power = 1;
_root.p += 1;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.plus, "plus"+p, p);
}
The problem is that I just want to duplicate it once everytime numBlts gets below 300. After numBlts increases above 300 and then goes below 300 I want the clip to duplicate. All its doing now is duplicating infinite times...

Apr 15, 2006So I load a variable, length, into a LoadVars instance.
Code:

thisObj.buttonLength = tempLength+2; //I need to add 2 onto the this.length value

thisObj.buttonLength is declared as a number, and Flash does not output a type mismatch.
