I have a string,for eg: "Welcome to flash forums!".I need a function that returns the number of words(sperated by spaces).The String is not user inputted,so if I need to include any thing between words to accomplish this, it is possible...
View 3 RepliesI'm talking about the div(X,Y) function in C which returns the number of times X is reduced by Y. if you're confused, I'm talking about this:
div(30,5) returns 6 (30 is reduced 6 times by 5)
div(34,7) returns 4 (you can reduce 30 by 7 four times, leaving 6 behind)
Is there such a function?
I have a simple code that seems to be giving strange results.
var startPoint:Point = new Point(x, y); // a point
var r:Number = path[i].row + (-Math.floor((length * 2 + 2) / 2)); // just some math
trace(r); // the math checks out and gives a 3
var tey = startPoint.y + r; //this gives a really strange return....

I am trying to convert an entry using a numeric stepper in flex into words to display in a textarea.i.e a user uses the stepper to enter "89" as a value and in the text area the words "Eighty nine" are displayed.After much searching i haven't found anything that helps - a few javascript functions but that is all.

I'm doing some calculation with numbers and would like to only print an integer (the number without the decimals).I thought that the toFixed() method of the Number class would do the trick, and it does most of the time. But quite frequently strange values are returned. Here are 2 examples:
Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns
"0." while
Number(1.002).toFixed(0) returns
"1" (without the period)
Once in a while, Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns "1"
Needless to say that's not the expected behaviour. Am I not using this method correctly?
*edit: I know I just have to do int(0.002) to get 0 but I'd like to understand that strange behaviour.
I can get which part of file in bytes is loaded using videoDisplay component for RTMP protocol for VOD, I can get the current playing position using videoDisplay.playheadTime. But I want to know how many seconds of video are already loaded (not the length of bufferTime, which remains constant). i used videoDisplay.bytesLoaded when using RTMP it returns nothing ,if we uses HTTP it displays number of bytes loaded
The loaded size in bytes is not directly proportional to running time of the video, and while using rtmp im unable to get bytesLoaded too, how i can calculated the Video already loaded.
so i search for keywords ofc, but...doing this isn't really my thing:input.text.indexOf("spam") != -1 && input.text.indexOf("more") ! -1 && ... etc
I'd like to make it some what like:input.text.indexOf(<database>) != -1
What is the ActionScript 3 function that returns the type of a variable ?
I remember that there is one but I can't remember it nor can I find any reference of it.
I've got an object inside an object. The child object basically loads a variable from SQL into one of it's own public variables. The SQL works 100%, because it traces out correctly.Now I've wrote a function from the child.as
Code:
public get_var() : String
{
return var_yes_friggin_work;[code].....;
Of course the files arn't called Parent.as and Child.as I've just had to rename them because our work is monitored though checking the internet and I can't delete this form.The FilePathOriginal doesn't output anything unless the string is manually set from the child, does anyone know where I'm going wrong here? (I can't upload all my code because of the monoriting process)
I have a movieclip I drawn, called Map. It has a child with the name Wall. I'm trying to make a function that returns a 2d tile array of if there is something in that tile or not, for pathfinding. The problem is, levelGrid is entirely false. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have filled the whole movieclip (Wall) with bright red, and yes it still returns false. The x and y of both Map and Wall is 0, so I don't think there should be issues with hitTestPoint accepting global x / y.

I have created a Composite Pattern type structure, with TreeNodes and TreeLeaf Objects.I works fine, except when I seach in the treestructure for TreeNodes and TreeLeafs in a resurve function with a loop, the function returns null - even on a successfull match.
public function traceTree(inComponent : TreeComponent = null) : TreeComponent{
var parentComponent : TreeComponent = inComponent;

ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop(); //deck = array of Card
}
Does not work. Firstly it runs an error which says
"cannot convert [] to Card"...
Shouldn't it pop() return just ONE element?
Then I correct like this
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop() as Card;
//deck = array of Card
}
And now I get no errors but the function returns null.... why? If I try this:
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():void{
trace(deck.pop());
//deck = array of Card
}
It prints [Object Card] which is how it should be ....
After loading and parsing external xml, has any one ever been able to make a function that returns your XMLList? I'm asking because I'm trying to change to scope of the data into a global variable for use.

var thumbslist:XMLList;[code].....
I have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.

Today I've received a small ActionScript 3 application that I need to have a look at and make some changes to.I've noticed that the entire application is riddled with the return keyword, eg:
// Constructor
public function MyClass()
{
// some logic[code].....
Is there a possible reason for this, or is the developer who worked on this using some weird, self-taught practice?

So, in my main mxml, i have a variable defined as such:
[Bindable] public var studentsListDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary;
I also have the following imported:
[code]...
Unfortunately, the getStudentName function simply returns undefined every time.It wasn't working b/c you can't have numbers as keys in a dictionary. Simply casting them to a string during the declaration and look up seems to work just fine.
How could I create a function that returns an array of attribute values.like
ActionScript Code:
//this is my main class
var _XMLPicQuery= new XmlQuery("gallery.xml");[code]......
I have this code
[Code]...
Well i have some labels at my timeline and i pass them as an array. The problem is at the onRelease event. It returns undefined. I cant figure out how to solve it.
my functions in this fla i have. I use the function to create a random number and the char move accordingly depending on the number.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to get a quick replay command, "pressing space returns the scene to the previous frame".
[Code]...
The current function returns me to a previous frame (40), however the event does not stop, rather it keeps on adding new events ontop of each other once it returns to main frame. The main frame being where the actionscript is executed.
I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.
Is there an easy way to set a number in a function call?In C you'd just pass the pointer, but since AS3.0 has no pointers, I'm not sure what to do.I suppose I could create a class that wraps the Number to an Object, forcing AS to use the pointer, but that seems a bit clunky.
View 4 Repliesis there any chance someone could give me a function to get a random number between 111 and 666. I need to put this function in a local variable in order to make the result appears in a dynamic text. So I need a simple function in as2 to get that number.
