Flash :: Algorithm To Create Concertina?
Sep 12, 2011
I've searched and racked to no avail.. so, does anyone have an algorithm to create a concertina type rectangle, ideally horizontally. The desired effect is exactly like that of normal horizontal Window Blinds (assume they're closed- doesn't matter) of say 30 parts (or slats) of equal height and uniform width.
When such a blind is raised half-way up notice how the parts at the bottom go from dead flat to an increasing value in height, with perhaps the top-most part hanging normally.
Similarly, when the whole Blind is all the way up, all parts are flat. Conversely, when the whole Blind is fully extended, all parts hang at their own, uniform height. It's this "slightly differing but related to my neighbors height" I'm stuck on.

Is there any algorithm to perform erase operation in a bitmap? I would like to create functionality similar to how photoshop or other graphic application performs erase. Is erase operation so difficult that there isn't much help (for bitmaps) available? I am OK even with name of an algorithm, I can proceed from there.

I want to put shortest int in shortest:
shortest = 500;
for(i = 1; i <= _global.var_process_count; i++) {
if(_root["process" + i].process_time_original.text < shortest)
shortest = _root["process" + i].process_time_original.text ;
}
What's wrong with above lines of code?

how to perform a search in XML, so I use the above method, kinda hard code I know...for example, I try to search " keyIn:String = "BR1014"; " means I wanna search BR1014 in 4 XML files, so I load the XML info into an array, and using for loop to loop the XML array (in this case TitleArray1[i], TitleArray2[i]...) and compare it with keyIn (which store the value BR1014), some how the value is located in TitleArray4[i] which have the length of 12 (trace(TitleArray4[i].length) = 12)
so everytime I run it, I will overwrite abc 12 times... and out put 12 time the abc value, in this case BR1014 was located in TitleArray4[3], so the 4th output of "abc" is BR1014 but others is all 999...

I have a database which has 2 tables:
CREATE TABLE RecipeDB (
RecipeID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
Name VARCHAR,[code]........
I also have an actionscript, in which I have ingArr:Array of ingredient strings.Now, I would like to realize the following queries here:
1) Select (all fields) one recipe which has the most of ingredients from the array. If more than one record have the same amount of matches, then divide the number of matches by total number of ingredients in recipe and return the one with the highest ratio. If there are no matches return nothing.
2) As above, but return 10 recipes with the most matches and do not perform check for equal number of matches. Sort the results by the number of matches.

I have been trying to implement the Round Up Power Of 2 algorithm outlined in the following link in AS3.
[Code]...
The algorithm works great for most of the values I've tested. It is mentioned that this will return 0 when given an input value of 0 which is technically incorrect but I'm ok with that output. What I'm not ok with is when given an input of 1 I get and output of 1. I'm thinking that this must be a caveat of AS3 and its wonky uint implementation but I can't seem to figure it out. I have also tried using the >>> logical shift operator to the same result. My C is a little rusty, but I'm not sure how this would even return 2 in C. Can someone explain to me whats going wrong here? I assume if an input of 1 was a special case it would have been mentioned in the above link.

I have 5 Button movieclips, each with different states, (OVER, OUT, and ACTIVATED)Obviously when you rollover the button, itll play the over animation, itll also apply for the rollout event of the button. When you click the button, itll go to the activated state.Here's my question...What condition will i use so that when a certain button is activated and i click on a different button, the activated button will play its rollout state before going to its idle state.. What's happening to me is itll just quickly go to its idle state without playing his roll out animation.

I am programing with AS2 so here goes my question: I want to create an algorithm that looks up an array and finds the nearest integer in it. Lets say i have different numbers like 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and i want to find the nearest member to 6 from those numbers. How should i build the algorithm. So far i'm using two arrays and two inside loops, but cant find the right way to make it.

I'm currently working on side scroller that has an isometric-type perspective (think Double Dragon) and the only thing I could think of to use to manage the depths of the MCs was a bubbleSorting algorithm.
[Code]...
Now this works fine (because I don't have a huge amount of MCs to sort), so I guess this is more of an academic question. As far as I know, bubblesorting is pretty much one of the worst sorting algorithms out there. Has anyone successfully adapted a better one for this purpose? Not trying to get you to post your code as much as just an idea for me to play around with because I'm a geek like that.

I know there isn't a built-in linked list in AS3, but one can easily write his own. However, I found it difficult to come up with a good solution for sorting such list.If you didn't know, linked list is a chain of "cell" objects, where each object has a reference to the next object, typically you can write it like this:
Cell1.next = Cell2;
Cell2.next = Cell3;
CellN.next = null;
(Circular linked list and bidi linked lists are out of the scope of my problem, for now at least).
I looked into other languages that do have linked lists or even standard libraries for them, however, I don't seem to be able to either port any of their solutions, or, some of them, if ported to AS3 would not be workable (since they use recursion) or would otherwise have huge overhead because of lots of method calls etc.
I think, I'm focused on 2 possible algorithms: Merge sort and Insertion sort. These two seem to be most applicable to AS3. However, I may be wrong - so, please fill free to correct me.

I have finished a little game called "math match". The idea of the game comes from "math mountain", a game is for the player who must caculate some kind of mathmatic questions, if the answer is correct, the player will move along a predefined path in several steps. I am newbie for programming games, so I am not sure what I have done in moving the role is the correct one, although it works okay. I know in Flash CS3, I can use motion guid layer to make the role move along a predefined path, but it seems it's not good in the game, or I don't know how to control it in actionscript 3.0. So I used many 'marks'(little movieclip) along the path. That divide a path into small pieces of lines, so I can move the role along the lines. If the 'marks' is enough, the precise is enough, the movement works okay.
But I think it's quite not a good method. I don't know if there is any good algorithm to move the movieclip along a predefined path, and this path is random, is hardly to be described by any math equation. I think in Flash CS3, we can draw a path by author tools, indeed Flash CS3 use some algorithm to do that. If we can get that math equation, we can simulate the movement very precisily, but is it possible? I don't know.

Any algorithm to see how many different variations there are within a set of data... For example, if I had:
1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 1 1 4
The algorithm could figure that there are 4 different "types". I don't mean 4 numbers, because there are obviously more, but 4 varieties; of course, how to go about count how many of the different types.

I'm looking for an algorithm that will break down a number into n chunks, so that the sum of the chunks will equal the original number. Example - take 30,000 and break it into 100 random numbers - but the sum of those numbers needs to be 30,000.Seems there must be some algorithm to do this, just not sure what it is called.

I'm builiding some sort of data portfolio in a section of a website. The method i'm using is the next one:
- Load an XML with all the data
- Call a function to build the portfolio.
- Use a "for" within said function to place all of the images at their respective positions
So, what I'm trying to achieve is to place the all of the nodes at the same time on and off screen following the next pattern:

This is unfortunately a quite complex issue to explain, so please don't get discouraged by the wall of text - it's there for a reason. i'm working on a transformation manager for flash, written with Actionscript 3. Users can place objects on the screen, for example a rectangle.
This rectangle can then be selected and transformed: move, scale or rotate. Because flash by default rotates around the top left point of the object, and I want it to rotate around the center, I created a wrapper setup for each display object (eg. a rectangle).
[Code]...
Now, to the question: should I use a different kind of setup, system or structure? Should I maybe use matrixes, if so, how would you keep a static width/height after rotation? Or how do I fix my current wrapper system for scaling after rotation?

I am trying to calculate the top most intersection of an arbitrary number of planes, with no joy! I am using actionscript, but just need find an algorithm that i can implement.
Problem:
consider 3 vertical axis.The user enters 3 points for each triangle/plane such that the points of the triangle lie on one of the axis.The user can enter an arbitrary number of triangles I need to find the topmost layer of these triangles and display it on the screen as well as the coordinates of interection.
Here is a picture to clarify what I mean with 2 triangles:
However, when we allow for more than 2 triangles, I get awkward lines of intersection.

I've got what should be a simple problem I can't quiet get my head around: Say I have these array values (could change, but same basic structure):
[Code]...
The sub array could go deeper, or it could be less, but it's always a matter of comparing within the subarray to get the goal. The answer I'm after is a count of total matched groups. So since there is a 4 and 3 together all 4 and 3s would simply count as a 1. My expected result from the above would be 3 (a count of total unique groups). All the 0s are 1, all the 3 and 4s merge together to be 2 and the 6 are 3. I just care the value is 3.
