Thank you all for your answers and your time. I will be multiplying up into int's from now on.

PS: This is a great community, thank you all again, happy holidays!

When adding Numbers, AS3 seems to add incorrectly?:


var num:Number = 5.4;

for(var i:int=0; i<100; i++)
{
trace(num);
num += 5.4;
}

Thank you very much, jAQUAN.

If I set an Object = null, does that remove all references to the Object's variables assuming there are no external references to said variables? Or do I have to manually set all said variables =...

That is an interesting point, I'm glad you made it. Luckily, I do not the covering MovieClip to take MouseEvents, but thank you pointing out the difference between the our methods. It's definitely...

Thank you moagrius. I've got it working now by setting mouseEnabled on the covering MovieClip to false.

How do I make a MovieClip Targetable even if it is covered by another MovieClip?

Thank you very much for that very detailed example, neznein9, I think I've got it now.

Can someone explain function call and apply to me? I just can't seem to figure out how to use them and what they're used for. I've stared at the LiveDocs descriptions for quite some time, but I'm...

5TonsOfFlax, thank you very much for your time. I'm sorry it took so long to say it, things got a little busy after the holidays. Thank you for taking time out of your day to answer questions, it's...

5TonsOfFlax, thank you. The String procedure works great, but I get the feeling from your post and other forums that this is not the best way to accomplish my aims. So, perhaps I can elaborate on...

Let's I have a class Square that has a several functions. I want to call it from a class Grid, which is a group of Squares.

So in the class file for Grid, how would I do this:

public function...

Found the fix:


btn.mouseChildren = false;

I have a MovieClip Button, btn, made up of 2 MovieClips, sqrT and sqrB on top. sqrB is stopped at an empty frame. On Down, sqrB stops at a MovieClip frame, on Up, it goes back to the empty frame. On...

Let's say I have Class Holder linked to a MovieClip holder_mc. holder_mc has a child held_mc that has a Graphic Symbol pic_gr. pic_gr has multiple frames.

From the Class file of Holder, how...

I was afraid of that. It's not a big deal for me, just inconvenient. Thank you Joshstrike for your time and for the link.

What's the best way to say:

if(this.object in same array as that.object)

with multiple arrays containing multiple objects?

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Thank you for the explanation, YourFriendIsATaco, it was very thorough and helpful.

Thank you again for your time, it's going to take me some time to figure all that out, but all direction is much appreciated.

Thank YourFriendisATaco! What is that move called BTW, so I can look it up and explore it? Is it a property of the Array Class?

Let's say I have a Widget class that extends MovieClip:


package{

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class Widget...

5TonsOfFlax, thank you very much for your time, that was just what I was looking for.

But now that I've tried it, what if you needed to call multiple functions that each passed different variables?

Maybe that's not the right question, I just know you can do that in Java.

Suppose you have a round based RPG type game. The player issues directives to his units, your enemy AI issues directives...

Ralgoth, thank you very much, that did it.

I have an mcButton called Unit that when clicked, addChild's another mcButton named attBtn. When Unit is clicked again, I need attBtn removed. Click once, add attBtn. Click again, remove attBtn,...
