Actionscript 3 :: Return NaN Or Undefined While Using Integer Datatypes?
Jan 24, 2011
I'm working on a function that takes the stage mouse coordinates in Flash AS3 and returns tile in a hex-grid below the cursor. I want the function to return NaN or undefined if the cursor is not on a tile and if it is, the integer index of that tile in an object array.
public function getCursorTile(mX:Number,mY:Number):uint
{
var tileIndex:uint = new uint(NaN);
[Code].....
I've been using uint for most integer variables, perhaps this data type doesn't support NaN or undefined? This code traces 0 after tileIndex is defined. I'm using hitTest because the hexgrid isn't square and is randomly generated. Tile 0 is the first tile and returning 0 when the cursor is off the hex-map is going to cause problems.

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.

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'm trying to make a login function that receives the username and password as arguments, does all the proper URLRequest and URLLoader stuff inside it, and retrieves some values from the database. Then, it puts those values inside an object (a little associative array really) and returns them. I've put 'trace' sentences all over the function, and it seems to be working without a problem and is retrieving the right values from the database. However, when I try to assign the returned value with something like:

I'm making an Air app that involves users being able to load in a bunch of pics (of their choice), label them and move them around to place them in some sort of order. No problems there.
Crucially, I need them to be able to save the results for later use as it's an educational resource for teachers who might wish to prepare the resource at home or in their office for use in the classroom. Consequently, portability is crucial and I would like to simplify the process as much as possible.
As it stands, I could easily save all the necessary data as jpg's (maybe even one big jpg for the images) and the data as xml. However, having to move various files is guaranteed to confuse a lot of my users and so I'd like to create one file, with a bespoke file extension that they can move easily and then just double click to open the app, much as you would a Word document, for example.
Which leads me to the 'how'. I bit of research seems to indicate (although I may be wide of the mark here) that the ByteArray class may be of use here. Does this seem reasonable? All I want is to store everything in one file, basically.

When declaring a variable to have an open datatype, is there any difference, especially a performance difference, between typing a variable as a "wildcard" (I'm not sure of the official name for this) and typing a variable as an Object?
var myVar:*;
var myVar:Object;

WSDL defines a number of datatypes supported by web service . Is there a documentation stating the various equivalents of those datatypes on flex side. In general for any language that we use to consume web service, how do we get to know the equivalent datatypes of the wsdl types.
One of the web service that I am consuming is returning base64Binary (an image binary data) , What is the equivalent datatype of this on flex ?

i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:

im going through ASDG, page by page, and learning everything from scratch. he's explaining datatypes, i.e. strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, etc...i get that. then he goes into explaining how to convert datatypes from numbers to strings using "toString" , and then strings to numbers using "Number()"...and then later, strings to booleans and stuff. My question is this. where someone would want to turn a number into a string or a string into a number? and how would someone even turn a string into a number? i dont understand how that works.

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.

Somehow I cannot get the value of an integer inside a for-loop.
I define the vars like this:
ActionScript Code:

This gives me a: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type int."

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'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 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 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

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.
