I'm trying to make a basic flash calculator except it only has to be able to square the number provided by the user, I have followed many tutorials but I keep getting the NaN as the output. Here is the actionscript:

squareClick);

I'm trying to break up a square or rectangle into a large number of randomly sized squares or rectangles so that none are overlapping.How to fill a square with smaller squares/rectangles?The solution seems to be either through bin packing or some sort of tree map.But what I'm looking for is the actual algorithm in Java, Javacript , actionscript or even C.

I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....
I want to make a square grid of fixed side length but varying grid number using code.That is, the number of grids should be specified by the user (say 3*3) and after pressing a button, the stage should be broken into 3*3 grids.I don't want any code, just a method on how to do it. I have tried it by using simple loops but the method just fails for no reason I can figure.
View 5 RepliesI recently bought a new machine and tried to put my Flash 8 software onto it. The serial number was fine, but it requested the serial number of the software I upgraded from, which I no longer have (MX, I think it was. I threw it out ages ago thinking I didn't need it ). I can't even remember what email address my macromedia/adobe account was under, it might even be under an email address for a domain I no longer have.
I do still have the software installed on my old PC. Is there anyway I can find out the serial number of the MX I upgraded from off of the Flash 8 on there? Or it is a lost cause?
Im looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)

View 1 RepliesI recently purchased a macbook pro from eBay which had Flash CS4 already installed on it, but which didn't come with the original documentation or CDs that would have had the serial number. The seller said he would send along the appropriate numbers when he tracked them down, but he never got back to me again. I'd like to upgrade to Flash CS5 now, so is there any way I can find the serial number through the software itself? I've seen similar threads to this one elsewhere in the forums and the most promising answers have involved people locating truncated numbers in the software and asking Adobe to decrypt them. Unfortunately, I can't even find these truncated numbers...

I'm trying to work out a logic for a game (in Flash). In one part, given the following row:
_ _ * _ _ __ *
I need to find if all the spaces between the *'s are empty (Non-empty values other than * can occur in the row). This operation is done quite frequently. I was wondering if I could use bit representations of rows to achieve this, instead of looping through and checking the intermediate positions.
For a row _ _ * _ _ _ * represented as xx1xxx1 (x = 1 or 0), I could AND it with 0001110 so that if the answer is 0000000, the intermediate positions are empty.
The question here is, of course, how to find this second map (0001110 above) using bit operations (in Flash AS2)? (Map (1,4) -> 0110, (1,3) -> 0100 etc) Or is looping through the intermediate positions just the better choice?
I have a for loop that arranges icons in rows, and I want 6 icons per row. The number of icons is variable. So I was thinking that if I can find out how to test if a number is a perfect multiple of 6 (or 7, I suppose), I could then add a line in the loop that changes the _y value of the thumb to a higher number and resets the _x value to 0, thereby creating a new line. how do you test to see if a number is round?

View 1 RepliesEssentially I need the MC to know whereabouts in the Array it is
Say you pick a movieclip at random, and assign in a function, how do you find out what number in the Array it is and remove it from the array?
For example...
Code:
for(a=0; a<arrayInQuestion.length; a++) {
if(arrayInQuestion[a]!=this) {
if(dist>50) {
[Code]....
But of course, "this" doesn't work, so I need to find out what number "this" is
Of course, it would be easy to remove the MC that I am checking "this" for distance with, it would just be splicing array[a], but it's "this" that I am just not sure how to splice.
