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?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"
var res:Number = new Number(str);
But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?
I'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;

I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them.I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.
View 1 RepliesI just need to display Numbers as well as in Words also in the Text field.
For example
99999 - NINETY NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE
for this i plan to use Array
like seperate the given numbers to array ([9][9][9][9][9])
then convert these number in words
The preloader works perfect but I would like it to display text instead of numbers as it loads. So it would be like "one, two, three, four,...." What do I need to do?Code is below
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()+_root.holder_mc.g etBytesTotal())/1024;
loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()+_root.holder_mc. getBytesLoaded())/1024;[code]......

I'm trying to get the 255 smallest numbers from an array made up of all the alpha values in a given BitmapData, and storing these numbers in the Alpha array for paletteMap().We all know how to get the smallest/highest number from an array, or to delete repeating numbers or even to average numbers inside an array. I've been tweaking for 2 days with these possibilities but unfortunately I can't find anything satisfactory.
View 1 RepliesI am using a Dictionary where the keys are Number objects, but I run into unexpected problems if the keys are large integers.
Here is some example code that inserts two key-value pairs in a Dictionary, one with a small key and one with a large one:
var dictionary:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
var smallNumberKey:Number = 1;
dictionary[smallNumberKey] = "some value";
[Code].....
None of the keys seems to be stored as a Number. Why is that? The first one is stored as an int, which can be converted to a Number. The second one however seems to be stored as a String, which makes no sense to me. What is going on here?
What to use when 32 bit ints or even 53 bit Numbers arent large enough by far? Im thinking of just using a 256 bit array but theres prolly a better way.
View 1 RepliesI have plans to make an RPG that is similar to those on the SNES as far as movement goes- you walk one tile in a direction at a time and if the tile that you are trying to move to has been marked as one that can't be walked on, it stops the character from going there. That means that conventional collision wouldn't quite cut it.
So I decided that I would make it to where every tile will have a specific value (one to say that there is no collision, another to say there is, etc.), and every object will have an X and Y value that changes in relation to the character (because there is scrolling in this project).
The thing is, there will be a lot of objects, and there will be a lot of tiles; this will quickly become an unimaginably huge project if I just go ahead and throw objects in.
So, what would be the most efficient way of storing these values? I was thinking of storing it in an XML file or a class, but I haven't really done it before, so I want to get a second opinion before I try and do so.
How do I find the digit sum of a floating point number?* (Eg Math.pow(10,100)). The correct answer would be 1. I have tried writing two functions, function A does not work for floating point numbers due to it converting numbers to strings, function B does not work for Math.pow(10,100) and other floating point numbers).
Specially: (1 with X zeros) % 10 = not 0, according to flash.
*Alternatively, what method can I use that gives me the last digit of a floating point number, and works for 1 with some number of zeros?
My functions:
private function getDSum(input:Number):Number {
var res:Number = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < input.toString().length+1; i++){

I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on rendering large numbers of identicalanimated instances. The first step we undertook was to separate out the parts of the instance which are static and render flag them cache as bitmap. However I was wondering if there was a way of rendering the same object multiple times without the player having to recalculate the animations separately for each etc?

View 2 RepliesI am loading a large XML file (about 3MB). Is there a way to display the status like a "Percentage Loaded" kind of thing? What about a preloader swf? It just takes awhile for anything to happen. I am using AS2 but am slowly migrating this to AS3.
View 4 RepliesI have a large flash project and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle it. I want to load in an XML file of groups and their members, and a bunch of attributes related to each group and its respective members - but these groups and members are only displayed on screen after a user clicks on their parent groups. My first thought was to just pull in the XML for the whole tree of groups and users, then assign movie clips for the groups, and attach properties related to their display and how the user will interact with them - but if they may never appear on screen, is it pointless to do this? How do I best structure this project? Build an object and attach properties only to the object, then add display data only on click?

View 1 RepliesI'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?
