I've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.
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.

//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
I 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 have a simple dynamic textbox and want to store the TotalTime-property (= seconds of the video) of my video (flvplayback component) into this textbox. how can this super-easy thing be done?
I want to convert a textbox value to numric value and i use a code like this :var n:Number = Number(myTextbox.text);when i trace the variable (n) it gives me 0. although when i trace myTextbox.text , it gives me the right value.
for example: private var myTextBox:TextField = new TextField(); private var myText:String = "Type here"; ..... ..... var position = int(myTextBox.text);
If the input value is "1" then it's ok. But if the input value is "-1" then I don't get the negative number. It just outputs "1"
I want to store textfield data in a variable, the textfield will only contain "red, "blue" etc, and convert these strings into their hex values and then use that variable in beginFill method.
I was wondering if there was a way to convert a string containing math symbols such as +,-,*,/ and numbers. I am building a calculator.I have a string variable that I keep appending the value of the button.In the end the string looks something like this 8+3+3-4*9.I was wondering if there was a way to solve the equation just using the information in the string. I tried setting a Number to the string and I would get NaN. The hard part about this is trying to count for the math oop i.e Multiplying before adding.
I'm trying to make a tile-based AS3 game that uses PNG images as the base for maps that loads them from the library and converts the data to an array with each pixel of data being an individual tile. Essentially, if I had a 128x128 pixel PNG with say, green pixels being converted to "GRASS" in my array, I could then cycle through the array and add tiles to the map movieclip accordingly. I've looked at the ByteArray class and I can't seem to decode the data into a usable format.
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:
I need to convert an integer value to hex to use with the setRGB thingy. (I want a slide bar that controls the colour of a movie clip) I know that you can use parseInt to get an integer from a hex value but how do you do the opposite?
I'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 need to add values in a string (they're strings because I get a date as timestamp from a database and then pluck it apart in Flash with substring). Flash doesn't do math with strings. So is there a way to cast the string into an integer value?
Is there a way to take all the letters out of a string and then use it as a integer?If that is not possible, is there a way to take the first three letters off a string variable? i.e. make myVariable='pic1' into myVariable = '1' Yes? no?
I'm loading some data from an external .txt-file.In the .txt-file i have this:number=40I want to manipulate the number like this:newNumber = this.number+1;...in order to get the new number to be 41, but when I load the number from the .txt-file it is loaded as a string (am I not right?).How do I convert the number to be an integer instead of a string, so I can manipulate it?
I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.
