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

Thanks

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 Places
hey how can i limit the number of decimal places displayed in an output of an equation? my code is for a preloader to show the percentage loaded but i don't want any decimal places...

onClipEvent (load) {
preload = " ";
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
preload = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal()*100 + "%";
if (_root.getBytesTotal() == _root.getBytesLoaded() ) {
preload = "done";
}
}

Cut Decimal Places
Hi,
a perhaps basic question. I am getting some values of variables like 3.1, 3.7, 3.9 etc. Now I want to cut the decimal places to get 3 in this case. Or 2 for 2.0 to 2.9. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Decimal Places
hi,

This might sound stupid..

Does anybody kknow how to restrict the decimal places values in a number?

for example.... if iam doing something like:

var n;
n=100/3;
input.text=n;

In the input textfield i want only 33.33 to appear rather than 33.3333...is there any way to do this, rather than restricting the size of the textfield??

pls help!!!

Decimal Places
how do you set a number to 2 decimal places??

Decimal Places
I have asked this before but I think Im a bit slow cos I still dont understand how it works?

on (release){
extras = ((options.abQty*25)+(options.dustQty*9.50) + (options.truckQty * 25) + (options.lightQty*15));
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?

No Decimal Places (HOW)
Hi there... how do I make it so that my timer does not display the decimal places when it increments by .10? I only want to see whole numbers... thanks

Decimal Places
I've been working on my preloader and added a few more things to it:

* Time Passed
* Time Remaining
* Transfer Rate

Anyway, the time passed is fine because it goes up in seconds, but the transfer rate and time remaining have loads of numbers after the decimal point i.e. 71.434563323k

If I set them both as integers, they don't look very good, so I want to set them to 2dp, i.e. the number above would appear as 71.43k etc

Any help appreciated...

Aw yeah, before I forget, I use Flash 5.

Truncating To Two Decimal Places
I've seen a post on here that says how to do it that says to convert the number into a string and then find out where the decimal is and have the actionscript delete the characters after the second decimal place but I dont know how to do that. The numbers vary from no decimal places to like 10 decimal places. If the outcome of a problem has no decimal places I would also need to add the ".00" Thanks

Decimal Places In Flash 5
Could someone help me on how do I display the value of a dynamic text field with 2 decimal places. Most of my variables deals with currency and I need to display the amount with 2 decimal places. thanks in advanced.

CONTROLLING DECIMAL PLACES?
Hi i made a preloader with by making actions like this:

onClipEvent (load) {
loa = _root.getBytesLoaded()/1000 + " kb " + "/" + _root.getBytesTotal()/1000 + " kb";
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()==_root.getBytesTotal()) {
loa = "DONE";
}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
per = (_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal()) * 100 + "% COMPLETE" ;
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()==_root.getBytesTotal()) {
per = "DONE";
}
}

Now when i get the results in my dynamic text, the percent is like 18.5634452, 21.23413414... How can i get the number to go to two decimal places like 21.23.... Someone told me using math.floor or something but how would i use it????

How To Round To 4 Decimal Places
Hey everyone. I know how to round to nearest whole number, how to round up, how to round down, but I dont know how to round to a certain amount of decimal places..

Limiting Decimal Places ($4.10 Not $4.1)
I've only been working with flash a couple of months (self taught).
I'm trying to show $ amount totals in a dynamic text box in a SWF.
Everything works fine except occasionally the total equals a multiple of 10 cents.
$4.10 comes out $4.1
Is there any way to force flash to display 2 decimal places.
I checked "Actionscript fo Dummies" (my mentor) but there doesn't seem to be anything that addresses this issue.
http://www.joelkilgore.com/shoppingcart3.html
2 clicks on the third camera returns the result:2999.9
I need the result to be 2999.90

Dropping Decimal Places
I have built an application for my client that adds one decimal number with another. Example:
00.35
+
01.25

and the resulting number is 1.60 but I want to maintain all the decimal places so that the result is
01.60. What do I have to add to the equation to make this possible?

Thanks

Removing Decimal Places
I have a variable (inputNumber) that is displayed in a dynamic text box. Trouble is the variable can have many decimal places after it, and all I want are whole numbers. Is there a way to ensure all numbers are rounded up or down to whole numbers before being displayed?

Thanks!!

How Do I NOT Display Decimal Places If They Are 0?
I am trying to make a small enhancement to some code. I need to modify a number so that if the last decimal place is 0 then it wont display it.

10.00 would be 10
10.10 would be 10.1
10.11 would remail 10.11

I am setting the decimal places to 2 using

Code:
strNum = Math.formatDecimals(intNum, precision);
But what I really want is a method that will set the max number of decimal places to be 2, and when there are 0's that it wont display them.

Is there any easy way to do this?

Rounding Up Decimal Places
Hi guys,
I was playing around with Flash 8 last night and got bored and created this point system thing...
It's really basic,
Clicking one button raises the points of one character, the other button raises the points of another.
Clicking the difference button gives two numbers found by multiplying the numbers by.3
which then are subtracted to find the final number of points, which can be divided amongst attributes
(there is really no purpose behind this yet, although I'm sure I can find one...)

Right now I'm just trying to round up the differences and the distributal points because they always end in something like .999999 or .8888777 etc... If this is possible, any help would be appreciated.

I have also uploaded the fla.

Round To Two Decimal Places?
Hi everyone.

Ive been given the task to make a simple calculator.

Part of it is to make a fraction into a decimal. The ActionScript I've got so far is:

Code:
on (release) {
ans2=""
ans = Number(num)/Number(den)
}
I know that you can round numbers using
Code:
ans = Math.round(ans)
but I'm wondering if there is a script that can set the answer to two decimal places?

Thanks, Tim

Showing Decimal Places
Perhaps silly question.

I have some variables for which default values are 1.0000 or 0.0000. These are to be displayed in dynamic text boxes but come up as 1 or 0. Is there a graceful way to show the number with the decimal places?

Thanks

ActionScript Code:
var mutA:Number = 0.0000;
mutation.text = String(mutA);

Controlling Decimal Places
Does any one know if you can control the number of decimal places display when using code to generate dynamic text? I.e. 1.000 instead of 1

Rounding Up To 2 Decimal Places
hi all,

does anyone have or know of a simple sure fire way to round up a figure to 2 decimal places.

flash has a horible habbit of removing 0's.

I need to round up figures but having to split a number like 100.056 (fine when its a string, but not when its a number)

rounding up the 056 gets complicated as flash will see it as 56.

a class or function would be much appreciated.

Or would it be far easier and reliable to send the figures out of flash to php

:/

Recognising And Using Decimal Places
I have a question and answers widget that is to do with the hotel industry, so basically you get asked questions such as how many hotels, how many rooms etc and some of the questions such as how much does staff training cost is a number.
I would like to put in 250.00 as an amount and with all the other calculations I would liek that decimal place to be recognised and then in the final calculation that decimal point is displayed correctly, but it doesnt.
If there is a simple reason for this then great, but if you need screen schots, fla the action script then I can post that, but be great to have some help either way.

Thanks

I am not sure how to bring numbers down to 2 decimal places. I have some simple code that states the calculation,

but "grandtotal" comes up as example... 37.335622

Anyone know how to bring the decimal place to 2?

this is the script....

grandtotal = Number (total2) / Number (grand);

thanks,

Formatting To 2 Decimal Places
hey all. i know this sounds stupid but i cant for the life of me figure out how to format my dynamic text fields for currency support, ie; xxx.yy. I could make a function to do it, searching for decimal points etc, but i'm sure there will eb a function that already does it somewhere in flash.

Anyone care to let me know what i have to do ?

I know this is simple.

How Do I Constrain A Counter To Two Decimal Places?
me very new to actionscritping i'm trying to create a counter so that i can show how long a simulation takes.

this is the code i have so far, but when it executes, it writes to multiple decimal places. eg 2.3999999

onClipEvent (load) {
counter = 00.00;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
counter += 00.01;
}

the frame rate is 100 fps.
i thought this would be logical seeing as though there are 100 milliseconds in a second, plus the enterframe command.

i'd prefer the counter to have no decimal places, just count like this....
00:22(secs)
00:23
00:24 etc...

but i can only acheive that with a frame rate of 1 fps

if someone could tell me what i'm doing wrong, or a more efficient way of doing this, please help.
thanks.

GetValue() Not Returning Decimal Places
hi,

i am trying to use getValue() to return the following values from a combobox:

thePrice = "£ "+Number(shipList.getValue()) /*".00 "*/;

the values for the combobox are 25.00, 27.50, 31.00

previously, i was working around the problem by adding .00 as a string. but now i have a value 27.50 in the shiplist dropdown. this will return either 27.5 or 27.5.00, depending on whether i include the concatenated zeros.

how can i convert the getValue() value to a number with two decimal places?

would appreciate a reply - i have only had one reply to four posts! please do a search on lukemack if you can help on other posts. i have replied myself to those i have solved.

thanks,

luke.
