Flash :: The Math Class Does Not Appear To Exist?
Dec 11, 2011
I think I broke my Flash. I'm using Flash CS5.5, and when I use AS3, any references to the Math class give me errors like this:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method sqrt through a reference with static type Class.1061: Call to a possibly undefined method pow through a reference with static type Class.1061: Call to a possibly undefined method pow through a reference with static type Class.The code in error is this:var dist:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(initPos.x - pos.x, 2) + Math.pow(initPos.y - pos.y, 2));What the heck is going on here? Math is a top-level class, so I don't think I should be getting an error like this. Is it possible to somehow "break" the Math class? If so, how do I fix it?

in a previous discussion i got some help with randomizing the position of the "appeaance" of an mc on the stage [URL], with the code being only in the Flash Pro file. Here, i am asking for help in randomizing positioning using Math.random but using a document class, to avoid rewriting the code for numerous movie clips that i have in the library. The movie clips in the library begin and end with approximately 15 blank key frames: they have 2 layers, one for action script and one for graphics (which are also movie clips,) while the AS layer in movie clip is longer than the layer containing the art, on both ends, beginning and end, so the effect is of bubbles popping up and appearing on the stage in random positions.
The movie clip symbols in the library have a base class popBubble.as, which works to removeChild(this). However, using RandomPosBubble.as in the document class for the flash file, i am getting a script error -

Here is the problem:
var p:int = 0;
var n:Number = 0;
n = 32.999999999999999;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 33
n = 32.11111111111111;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 32
I would expect both of these to return 32. I have searched, and it seems this is an unreported bug in AS3. Or ... am I doing something wrong?

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

I'm writing an AS2.0 component that extends the UIComponent and I have the following movieClipLoader defined in the init() function:
Code:
movieClipLoader_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
movieClipLoader_mcl.onLoadProgress = loadProgressRoutine;
movieClipLoader_mcl.onLoadComplete = loadCompleteRoutine;
[Code]....
The really strange part is that even though I get this error at compile time, the actual event handling functions (ex. loadProgressRoutine) actually run when they're supposed to. So even though Flash is complaining about the properties in the MovieClipLoader not existing, it uses them when it has to...

I develop my own library with some simple component classes (the name of the library is test "myLib"). Yesterday i've created a folder in my library folder "events" and create a custom Event class in there.when i try to import the class from this directory i get the error:"1172: Definition myLib.events:myCustomEvent could not be found." i've try to make a completely new and empty .fla file and paste this line in the Action panel:
import myLib.events.myCustomEvent
and again i receive this odd error while with other subfolders of my lib i have no problems.like this
import myLib.ui.*;
import myLib.ui.myCustomScroll
or
import myLib.util.CustomMath
in all these cases a have no problems exept with this custom event why is this ?

What would be a good way to create a sin wave motion using the math, not tween, class? In maya it was quite simple with sin(value) but I can't seem to get a decent undulation out of Flash. The case I'm working on is a bubble generator, you know, just for kicks. That fish tank screen saver has the bubbles moving in a sin wave it seems, looks like it works well enough.

im having some troubles with as2.0 classes calling each-other. Basically, on the root timeline I have MC Called "myMovieClip" [how original] and on the first frame I have :

Whenever I execute this the swf just does nothing, I have tested the script so many times and it turns out that the drawBox class is never called - I always get a "Property Does Not Exist" error for MC.drawBox(100,100) I have also tried importing the class file on the 1st frame, but still nothing.... is there anything special you need to do to register a property to a flash class - in this case the MovieClip Class? or am I doing somthing completly wrong.

I have a code in which I have to use Math.round if a certain value is for example 3.67 (67 is higher than 50) and Math.ceil if a value is for example 3.23 (23 is lower than 50). What can I do to make flash calculate if what after the dot �.� in 3.23 (for example) is higher than 50?

I have a simple flash socket that I use to connect to IRC servers. It has an open, close, and send method made available to JS through ExternalInterface, for opening connections, closing connections, and sending messages respectively. The socket calls IRC.io.receive in JS whenever it gets a message, which is parsed by JS into something useful.Unfortunately, whenever any of the flash methods are called from JS, they return a "__ is not a function" error.Here's the (watered down) AS, where IRC is the document class:
public class IRC extends MovieClip {
public static function open(url:String, port:int) {/* code */}
public static function close(port:int) {/* code */}
public static function send(port:int, message:String) {/* code */}
[code]....
Any call to any of the functions registered with ExternalInterface throws a "function does not exist" exception.

So here is a piece of code that I have seen used a lot but don't really quite understand:
myVar = Math.min(Math.max(myVar, this.min), this.max);
or some variation thereof. I understand that the function first finds the maximum value of two values then turns around and uses that to find the minimum between two values.why this is done? And how do you know when to use it?

I have started a stream from Flash media encoder to flash media server. According to my encoder, it should be located at: "rtmp://localhost/live" and is called livestream.In the Flash software I try and set the source of FLVPlayback component to "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream", and I get this error: "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound : Adobe Flash tried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist. Source can't be found.". Both the server and encoder is runnind and I am encoding.Too, when I try and open the html with the stream in a browser, nothing appears.

Some computationally intensive software are now using the GPU to solve mathematical problems. Now that flash has GPU support, is it possible to use flash to crunch math problems? How would it be done. In other words, does flash expose sufficient low level API to control the behavior of the GPU sufficiently to perform such a task? Example of problems; Find a message with the following hash: 2987432847298374298374982374

how to code where it should move towards (that's easy), and I know somewhat how to use math stuff on flash. But when I tried to implement it on this, it doesn't work. See code:
angleA = Math.atan2(TARGET._y-HERO._y, TARGET._x-HERO._x);
var degrees = angleA/(Math.PI/360);
BULLET._rotation = degrees;
It is correctly placed, don't worry about that.

I want to implement a gameplay recording feature in a project, which would only record player input and seed of the RNG at the beginning of the level. Then I could take such record and play it on my computer in order to test it for validity.I'm only concerned with some numerical differences which might appear between different Flash Player version, Operating Systems or CPUs (or whatever else that might be affected). The project would be written for Flash Player 10.0.0+. What stuff I am concerned with:
[code]...
I won't be using stuff like hitTest, getObjectsUnderPoint, hitTestPoint, getBounds and so on, all collisions will be geometrical.So, are there any chances that using any of the pointed things above will yield different results on different systems? If so, what can I do to avoid them?

I was just wondering if there are any good books/resources out there that helped someone out that is pretty terrible when it comes to Math when programming in actionscript, or I guess programming in general. I guess I'm after some sort of resource where it had basic problems which would involve a bit of math, then went through the problem in a detailed way solving the problem but at the same time explained what was going on so I would learn the math and also solve the problem using code.
I don't want to just be told how to do it with a bunch of code I don't understand. Really hoping there is some awesome book out there called '101 guide to maths in programming' or something like this, (hopefully more geared towards flash/actioncsript)
