Decimal Problems:
I’m having a strange problem with Flash5 actionscript…
All I am trying to do is run some simple math to solve for a percent change, but every time the code runs, it gives me a number with no decimals! Instead of .20668 it gives me 20668 and its pissing me off. Here is the code:
changeinsize = _root.screen._width/(_root.end_x-_root.start_x);
changeinypos = (_root.start_y-_root.screen._y)/_root.screen._height;
changeinxpos = (_root.screen._width/2)/(_root.start_x-_root.screen._x+((_root.end_x-_root.start_x)/2));
And ideas on how to get to output a multiple would be great!
Thanks again,
Dave

Decimal To Hex
SO I'm trying to create a bunch of little blocks that are colored. The colors of the these blocks will increase like a gradient. Odd, but beleive me it's nessecary. Flash likes to use hex color codes. Ok great but how do I increment a hex code? Or even better how do I take a number like 200 for r (r being red) and convert it to hex? Then I could just convert all the 0-255 of each color and paste them together to make the hex code. This is all to be done in code. All automated. That's my issue.
Thanks,
Travis

Decimal To Hex Function?
I need to use the hex code of characters.
I did not find a function like hex(character) or similar in flash 4. Now there is that very clumsy workaround:
1. set up a var table in a var inits frame:
hexDigit0 = "0"
hexDigit1 = "1"
hexDigit2 = "2"
...
hexDigit16 = "F"
2. convert char like this:
n = Ord(char)
h1 = Int(n / 16)
h2 = n - (h1 * 16)
hexChar = Eval("hexDigit" & h1) & Eval("hexDigit" & h2)
It seems to work fine, but i wonder if there is a undocumented function built in with vs 4?

Multiply Decimal Only
Hey, here is one for you math guys.
I doing this:
z = _root._currentframe; (let's say I'm on frame 420)
z = z/32
That gives me: 13.125
Now take ONLY the decimal (.125) and multiply by a number (let's say 4)
.125*4 = 0.5
Leaving you with a display number of 13.5
Remember I want to keep the orignal whole number and show it with my new decimal
????

Decimal Case
Hi,
I need a problem with dynamic text filds to display decimal cases.
My function is:
function decimal (result) {
final = int(result*100)/100;
var dec = (final-(parseInt(final)));
if (dec == 0) {
final = (String(parseInt(final))+".00");
}
if ((length(dec))<4) {
final = (String(parseInt(final))+"."+(dec*10)+"0");
}
return (final);
}
I have looped objects that re-display the values to text filds, but always when the second case after the "." is zero , the second case is not displayed in the result.
Should someone help me?
thanks

Decimal Nightmare
I have an input text field where the user needs to enter 3 numbers. As the user enters the numbers I need to have the numbers display as starting from the tenths place and working up. To make this clearer lets say they were to enter "989" when the type the first 9 it needs to appear as .9; then when they type the "8" it needs to be 9.8 and lastly when they type the second 9 it needs to show up as 98.9.
Can anyone help me out, I don't have alot of actionscript experience so you may have to walk me through the code or just provide code that works. THANKS!

Converting A Hex Value To A Decimal
This is my code. Unfortunately it goes into an infinite loop or something. I dunno. I don't seem to see any problem. Hope someone can help. And thanks in advance.
function hexToDec(temp) {
var output = 0;
var count = 0;
while(temp != 0 || temp != NULL) {
digit = temp.charAt(temp.length - 1);
switch(digit) {
case "A":
digit = 10;
break;
case "B":
digit = 11;
break;
case "C":
digit = 12;
break;
case "D":
digit = 13;
break;
case "E":
digit = 14;
break;
case "F":
digit = 15;
break;
}
temp.slice(0, temp.length - 1);
output += digit * Math.pow(16, count);
}
return output;
}

Decimal Places
im kinda new to flash. Not really but theres a few things i dont know yet.
i dunno if its possible... i know it is in programming languages that are similar to actionscript so i thought it'd give it a shot. Anyway,
im doing some equations and stuff in the action script... like... to figure out the precentage of somehting. the 'thing' is out of 136. So theres 136 possibly points you can get...
Since its such a number, the equation will turn out with a bunch of decimal places
so im asking how i can make it so only one decimal point appears... like 55.3%
???
Please help

2 Decimal Places, How?
I want to have a timer, in a game I'm creating.
I want the timer to be in seconds, with 2 decimals all the time! I.e. 41.10 sec. (not 41.1), or 7.00 (not 7). <-- was that an AND/OR error?
Well, how do I tell the "time-variable" to contain 2 decimals in every value?!

Decimal Problem
Hi, I have a movement script which works fine, the only problem is sometimes it results in a decimal which I think slows everything down and causes pixel fonts to look blurry. Is there any code I can add to make it allways end on a full number? My actionscrpiting is a little dusty but I would preseume something like:
if x < 1 and > -1 x = target
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.targIMAGE = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
cIMAGE = this._x;
difIMAGE = cIMAGE-_root.targIMAGE;
setProperty(this, _x, cIMAGE-(difIMAGE/5));
}

Animating A Decimal
I have a number that I want to animate from 0 up to a total number.
The number changes everytime the flash file is loaded.
for example it could be something like:
var num:Number=0.45; or
var num:Number=2.12;
Ans so on
The problem is if I do something like
Code:
var num:Number=2.45;
var counter:Number=0.01;
var interval:Number;
interval=setInterval(animateNum,200);
function animateNum():Void{
var newCount=Number(counter=counter+0.01);
trace("newCount = "+newCount);
}
when it reaches 0.10 it shows as 0.1 then when it reaches 0.80 it traces as
newCount = 0.800000000000001.
Also when it reaches 1.00 it shows newCount = 1
How can I get it to always show a count up of 3 numbers or four if it reached
10.34
Thanks,

Decimal To Binary...?
Hi...
this might be a really dumb question, but isn't there some built-in method in AS3 to convert a decimal number to binary and vice-versa? I can't find it...seems ridiculous to write a method when there must be some C-level code to tap into that would do this much, much faster...
Thanks for any help!

Decimal In Flash
I am trying to create a math presentation. I need to show a limit as it approaches 1. Unfortunately, in my dynamic text box that has the equation to figure the limit, it shows numbers like 2.133984399400 - e^4. I need it to show all the zeroes in the beginning to make the point.
Is there a setting or actionscript that would force it to show all of the decimal places? I have found a ton of tutorials and ideas on how to limit the decimal places, but I need just the opposite. It seems Flash only wants to go up to 10 places.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Alpha Decimal Bug AS 2.0?
Hello! I'm working on a photo gallery slideshow loading pictures externally. I have a setInterval to count up/down the "alpha" and up/down the "_x". The "_x" is working fine but the "alpha" only works when set to 25 or 50. I've been running traces on it when set to 5, 10 and 20 and it adds up a decimal value instead of a whole number. Been trying to get it right with Math.round but it wont count correct. Anyone have any idea of what this problem is about? I'll post an example for anyone to please have a look at...
trace returns: 9.765625
Anyone with ideas?

function myFunction(){
this._alpha = 10;
trace(this._alpha);

extras.text=extras;
dayVal = day.value;
DayVal = day.value;
rate = Math.ceil(DayVal/7);
costa = rate*storesize.selectedItem.data;
total.text=costa + extras + packingSO.selectedItem.data ;
}
I want total.text to contain a number with 2 decimal places this is a lot harder than I thought it would be? I thought there would just be an option or something like that?

AS3 Decimal Precision
Well I'm having a little problem with decimal in as3. Here's what I'm trying to do :
ActionScript Code:
var p:Number = 0;addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mainLoop);function mainLoop(evt:Event){p+= 0.1;trace(p);}
And I get those weird results :
0.1
0.2
0.30000000000000004
0.4
0.5
0.6
0.7
0.7999999999999999
0.8999999999999999
0.9999999999999999
1.0999999999999999
In AS2, no problem, I get the right incrementation. Also, doing this in AS3 works well too:
ActionScript Code:
var p:Number = 0;addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mainLoop);function mainLoop(evt:Event){p+= 1;trace(p/100);}
Any idea why this is happening?

How To Represent Decimal No.
As we all know in flash,
Number('077') = 63 coz it treats it as octal if you start your no. with one zero.
Number('0011') = 9, binary for the numbers starting with 2 zeroes.
Number('0XFF') = 255, hex for the numbers starting with 0x.
Is there any way to specifically tell flash to consider the number to be decimal only?
