when I try to type cast something, there r 2 ways to do it:if var integer holds a integer (Uint)
text_txt.text = integer as String;or text_txt.text = String( integer );
but sometimes when I want to pass a value to a function both ways don't work and only one way works, when should I use option 1 and 2???
I want to have a dynamic integer reference.
For instance
ActionScript Code:
var heart:int = 5;
var stalker:int = heart;
[Code].....
Obviously stalker traces as "5" while "heart" is "7". However, I need to make stalker a pointer reference to heart.
This is just a simple problem, i have two integers (for example)
var myInt:int = 3357;
var myOtherInt:int = 10;
Then i ask flash to trace myInt divided by myOtherInt
trace(myInt / myOtherInt);
And in the output menu i get 335.7 as the traced number and i need to get an integer which would be 335.
I'm working on a game were your health variable will add 1 hp automatically every second if the health variable is not equal to 100. How would you do that?
View 1 RepliesSomehow I cannot get the value of an integer inside a for-loop.
I define the vars like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class Fig2 {
private var a1_m1:int;
[Code].....
This gives me a: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type int."
Is there a simple way to test whether an integer is odd or even withing a conditional statement? Example:
ActionScript Code:
if (integer /*insert code that checks for odd or even*/){
/*execute whatever*/
};
I've just seen a statement like this.
Code:
if (_root.map._width>"3000") {
_root.map.larger = 0;
}
Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?
I try to increment each 2 hours but I don't know how to proceed.
View 2 RepliesI'm having some trouble converting a string to an integer. Here is my code:
var str:String = e.currentTarget.name as String; // Getting values like "song1", "song2"
str = str.replace("song", ""); // Changes it from "song1" or "song2" to "1" or "2"
var num:int = str as int; // SHOULD be converting the "1" to 1 and "2" to 2
trace("num:" + num + ", str:" + str);
The trace is always outputting:
num:0, str:1
num:0, str:2
etc..
The str value is there, but when it gets put into num then it zeros out.
I have 40 movieclips, with the instance names p[1-40] (for example, p14 or p32). I want them all to do something in order, so I'm using a 'for' loop. In simplified psuedo-code, it looks like:
for 40 {
variable = variable + 1
p[variable]

I was trying to display a number: 2893604342.00. But, when i am displaying it it is displayed as: -2893604342.
Following is the code snippet ...
avg += int(totalData[i][col.dataField]);
I have even replaced it with Number, but it's still showing the same negative number.
How do I convert an integer to a string value? This must be easy. "Ya guys in SO are da best at explaining." I'm still working on these dumb counters.
NEED TO JOIN THIS TOGETHER
//My counter project "sends to dynamic text field"
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0

How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from.
myThoughts
- It needs to read XML "parse it etc"
- variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing values and function calls"
XML
//XML

How do I extract the numbers out of a string like this[code]...
Everything but the currency symbol. Or from something like this:

Just asking if there's an existing function that I'm not a aware of.
The largest integer type in ActionScript seems to be a 32 bit uint (Representing values from 0 to 4294967295).I need something larger... ideally a 64 bit uint allowing values from 0 to 18446744073709551615.I was thinking of writing a class to represent these large numbers. I know there are classes for other languages (like bigint for perl) that can take care of this.

I seem to remember in an older version of Flash you could have a text field as an integer (whole number) and with a decimal point. Can someone please tell me how to do that in CS4?

View 13 RepliesI am using CS3 set to AS3. On frame one I have 120 buttons ( yes, one hundred twenty buttons), unfortunately I have tried to reduce this but to no avail. Anyway, I know I can put these into an array to take away some of the coding. but my question is can I also use a integer?
My button are named Btn1 - Btn120. I would want to use the array and integer for simple things such as event listeners for roll over, click, roll out, and a couple of basic if statements. All of the buttons are movie clips.For some other more detailed functions I know I could still call the button name ( at least I think I should still be able to), but wanted to make sure.
I'm trying to make a script that listens to a variable (int or Number) and then does certain functions whether the variable is going higher or lower. So for example if the number gets higher, it runs one function. If it gets lower, it runs another.
