if i pass parseInt() a string representing an integer larger than 2^31, how do i detect that ?
it would be swell if parseInt() returned NaN, but it doesn't.
i could test the number which parseInt returns against max int & min int.
Is there a way to detect if my Vector is out-of-range before performing an action? I tried
if (myVector[i] != null || myVector != undefined) {
// do stuff here
}
But I am getting an out-of-range error.
The AS3 documentation states that if you pass in a string to parseInt that is not a number it will return NaN. However, when I try to compare to NaN the compiler gives me the following error: Warning: 1098: Illogical comparison with NaN. This statement always evaluates to false. The statement is actually true. Comparing to NaN will always return false. How can I compare to NaN to detect if what was parsed was NaN?
if( parseInt("test") == NaN )
{// do something (never gets here)
}
I'm writing an age verification actionscript for a flash project. Right now I have it where if the user is born before a certain year it will allow them to access the swf if not it will deny them. the problem is if they leave the field blank it will allow them access (i'm assuming because a blank field qualifies it as acceptable to the parseInt) so i'm curious as to how to block it so if someone doesn't enter a year it will disallow them from access the swf. here's my code for it
agetext._visible = false;
verify_btn.onRelease = function ()

All I want to do is convert a string into a number, I thought it would be easy:
Code:
var stringNum:String="00000000537112"
var num:Number= parseInt(stringNum);
trace(num);
//Result: 179786
I have tried using Number(stringNum) aswell which does not work, all I want it to do i convert "00000000537112" into 537112.I have tried it by removing the 0s at the beginning of the string which works. Is there any way of solving this or will I have to build a function to shave off the preceding 0s?
Can anyone tell me how to convert a String "012" into an Integer 12 using the parseInt or other method? Apparently integers begining with 0 are interpreted as octal numbers...whatever they are.[code]
View 9 RepliesThis code below works, but I'd like to modify it so that if my dragged item passes over a region in the x coordinates. So if I pass the dragged item over the range of 600 - 700 then it would play the frame labelled "square", and when it passes out of that region, go back to play the frame labelled "circle". So realy I'm asking how can I modify the <=600 to instead 600 to 700, and else refer to circle.
if (me.x <=600){
me.gotoAndStop("Square")
} else if (me.x>= 700){
me.gotoAndStop("Circle")
}
I've got a variable called coins which contains the amount of coins you have.I've also got a movieclip called customer_marker_mc which I want to change color depending how much coins you've got...I want 100 (or more) - 91 to give one color and 90 - 81 another and so on.[code]...
View 6 RepliesI'd like to check if a mc's _x and _y properties are between a certain range, but can't find out how to. Now that I'm typing this (I can't check it in Flash right now at the moment), I'm thinking if this will work:
let's say the mc is called mcMyMovie and it has to be between 90 & 100 (both for x and y)
if(mcMyMovie._x =< 100 && mcMyMovie._x =>90 && mcMyMovie._y =<100 && mcMyMovie._y =>90) {
}
Would this work or is there a shorter way to write this down in code ? In maths I'd write something like 90 < mcMyMovie._x <100.

I'm trying to start an animated loop from one of the defined frame labels. My code on frame 1 is:

Unfortunately, it's not working and the animation plays through normally. At the end I have a gotoAndPlay(2); command so it doesn't reread the code again.
The problem is: check a single word if belongs to a given language character set. So I think I have to instantiate a RegExp with expression [u4E00-u9FFF] (for Chinese language) in order to test against the specified word. But it does not work? Is this a bug with unicode ranges?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a dynamic scrolling list in Flash AS3. When I create a list, I set it to be an initial length. Later, I add more objects to the list which is outside of the original size of the list. I want to be able to scroll down the list and see all the objects. My scrollbar just moves the list's y position. However, every object that is drawn outside the original list size is not shown when I run the program and scroll. I have a list object which has the function below when I need to add content to the list. When I initialize the list, I give it an initial height and width which I use to create a mask.
public function AddPlayers(pPlayers:Array, pScrollBar:ScrollBar):void {
var player:Player;
trace("happened again");
for (var i:int = 0; i < pPlayers.length; i++)
player = pPlayers[i];

The situation is an interactive text book using the Webkit view of Adobe Air. I have static (built-in) html content that the user can highlight and bookmark (annotate). This mechanism all works, but I need to be able to store and restore these annotations. I would rather not store a modified version of the DOM, but rather use the static version then reapply the users annotations that I am storing in a SQLite DB along with other needed metadata. DOM manipulation is pretty new for me, and so far my attempts to serialize a DOM::range have failed. What I realized though is that I really seem to only need the start and end containers and the start and end offsets. Then I can recreate the range with document.createRange().
View 2 RepliesI want to reproduce Photoshop's Replace Color feature in AS3. Here is what i want to achieve on 8-bit images:[URL]..I want the user to be able to :
1 - select a color using an 'eyedropper'
2 - select a threshold ( example : http://cl.ly/3J3Q1f1M242E2Q1z0F25 )
3 - select a replacement color
it is important that the color replacement blends well and does not have banding/dithering.
I'm trying to figure out how to generate random colors but within a particular range.In my application I have to allocate a random color to an unknown number of movieclips.I can do this ok but sometimes I'm wind up with a very ugly combination of colors like bright yellow and purple for examples.How can I generate random colors within a particular "range" I guess is the word for it?

I have a simple code snippet as follows:
ActionScript Code:
testangle = Math.tan((-stage.mouseY+marker.y)/(stage.mouseX-marker.x));
trace(testangle);
In the swf I simply moved the mouse around the stationary object marker and read the results. For some reason I'm getting crazy values like -20 and 18. Why on earth is that? I thought radians in flash had a range between -PI and PI.
for (i=1; i<8; i++) {
}
this will give me from 1 to 7 ...but if I need to exclude numbers from 3 to 5, how should I do?
i<3 and i>5 and i<8
How would I restrict this variable:
Code:
this.mousePercent = _root.portfolio._xmouse/500;
so that it can't get below 0 or greater than 1?

View 2 Replieswell i am trying to create this simulation where in lot of numbers keep changing based on the time line. I find it really had to manually animate the numbers frame by frame. Is there a way that i can specify a dynamic text and specify a range of 50-100 and then its starts generating the numbers automatically from 50,51,52... etc, and it should reach the end range at a specified frame.
If i follow this method, animating a number from 10-50 and 1-6 will happen in the timeline of 80 frames.
