I'm doing the finishing touches on my games. I want to keep track of and display the level (waveCount) and display it in a dynamic text box. However, AS isn't allowing me to convert the number into a string.

[code]I have information coming in from an XML page. One of the childnodes is an ID. The numbers of the IDs go from 29 to 40. I'm trying to have 6 numbers randomly grabbed from the list, so I made a function to find a random number between a given "Low" and "High" numbers, then another to continuously add 1 if it's already one of the other numbers(I'm pretty sure the method of that part, I could have taken a short cut.)Where it says to trace the two numbers near the top of the find5RandomNumbers function, they trace 29 and 40. But near the bottom where it's told to trace all 6 items, they come back as "NaN."[code]
View 0 Replieshow to create price strings from numbers.E.g. a product could have a price of 25.50. however this will show as 25.5, as it removes the 0.I would like to convert this number (25.5) to a string, and format it as a price, e.g. "25.50"In C#, its easy, you just do .toString("0.00");but i can't find any way of doing it in Actionscript. Is there an easy way or do i have to do some string splitting and such?

View 5 RepliesIm using a tween engine, and its syntax for use is as follows::
[Code].....
How can I write "_x",100,1,"easeout",0,callback as a string?? I have tried to put "these" around the text. The problem seems to be that "_x" and "easeout" which are effectively strings inside the string! -- but for the tween engine to work - I need to declare that.
I have two input boxes that I can type numbers into.I'd like a third input box to display the total of the first two.I've set up a key pressed listener on the stage to run a function that adds them together when a key is pressed.Problem is, it just places the strings together - it ddoesn't add them.So how do I tell Flash that box1.text and box2.text are numbers?box3.text = box1.text + box2.text ain't doing it.
View 5 RepliesWe're making a simple input text comparisons vs. some constant floating point numbers (e.g. 4.35). Using Actionscript 2 to Flash 9 export.
Code:
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)))
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)==4.35))
trace((Number(435/100)==4.35))
[code]...
In the order listed above, I get the following trace when I export via Flash CS3 (9.0) on my PPC mac:
number
boolean
true
true
[code]....
The same exact FLA file, unmodified, gives the following trace output on 2 different intel macs (one mac pro, one imac) using Flash CS3 (9.0).
number
boolean
false
false
[code]....
have a clue why this is giving falses for statements such as "(Number(435/100)==4.35))", "(435/100==4.35)" or "(Number(input_txt.text)==4.35000)" but ISN'T giving a false for (Number(input_txt.text)==(435/100)) (NOTE: input_txt.text is an input field which contains the string 4.35) 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.
I was wondering if I have an array that is made up of strings. The array is updated with new strings as the user drags and drops objects. Is there a way that I can have the array of strings appear continuously on the stage as feedback?

View 1 Repliesim going through ASDG, page by page, and learning everything from scratch. he's explaining datatypes, i.e. strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, etc...i get that. then he goes into explaining how to convert datatypes from numbers to strings using "toString" , and then strings to numbers using "Number()"...and then later, strings to booleans and stuff. My question is this. where someone would want to turn a number into a string or a string into a number? and how would someone even turn a string into a number? i dont understand how that works.
View 5 RepliesI have a text field that displays a number from a variable. How can I make it so this number is always formatted to 2 decimal places?

View 6 RepliesI have drawn a textfield (instance name - my_Text) onto the stage. In my actions I have a variable (called 'myFrame') which is an 'int' and the value is a number drawn from an xml feed. Now when I trace the variable 'trace(myFrame)' the correct number displays into the output window. However, when I try to display this variable, using 'myText.text = myFrame', an error occurs. How do I display this integer into a textfield?
View 2 RepliesI have a textfield (the one that shows ammo) that doesent display all numbers. U have uploaded the swf. The code that I used to make the textfiled display some text is:
ActionScript Code:
function checkAmmo(e:Event){
var percentAmmo:Number = curAmmoInClipFirst/clipSizeWep1*100;
if (curAmmoInClipFirst >= 0){
trace(curAmmoInClipFirst);
ammoLeftBar.bar.scaleY = percentAmmo/100
} else {
Char.reloadGun();
} ammoLeftBar.ammoLeftNumber.text = curAmmoInClipFirst.toString() + " / " + clipSizeWep1.toString();
}}}
Which is triggered onEnterFrame.
I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
I am working on a maths game which involves generating some large numbers in AS3. When I pass these numbers into a textbox they appear as e.g. 300000, I would like them to appear as 300,000.Is it possible to format a text box to do this?

I'm working on a flash thing that just has three boxes, each with a different # in it. By clicking the box it will turn red or green, and below it will display the sum of all the green boxes. This is really just a test kind of for a bigger project that I have to do for work. Basically it all works except for the summing part, which I believe has something to do with the fact that it is in a function, but I could be way off.

var myNum2:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*9);
var myNum3:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*9);
