simple math functions causing undefined errors

[tanelorn]

This seems rather simple but I couldn't find anything on this in a search.

I am using the math functions such as math.round and math.abs.

This works fine if I do a test such as: math.round (2.75). The output is fine.

But when I pass a variable in (this variable has a number value), I get 'undefined' as a result every time. I never had this problem in Flash 4 but Flash MX is killing me!

I'll provide a code snippet. This is breaking my brain, it seems perfectly fine. When I trace my variable, it outputs a number to two decimal places. So it is number format. But if I run the math functions on it... UNDEFINED!

Please help.

The below actionscript uses a changing number value from another movie clip, rounds it to the nearest integer, then goes to a frame with that value in the current movieclip. Simple stuff, but it's not working if I add the math.round function.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var a = _root.bank1_mc.bankvalue;
if (a <= 0) {
a = 1;
}
trace (a);
a = math.round (a);
trace (a);
gotoAndStop(a);
}

This is the output:

0.1
undefined
0.2
undefined
0.3
undefined
0.4
undefined
0.5
undefined
0.6
undefined
0.7
undefined
0.8
undefined
0.9
undefined
1
undefined
1.1
undefined

A further diagnostic modification:

var b = 2.9485847;
var c = math.abs(b);

Trace output gives me
b = 2.9485847
c = undefined

WTF?

Math.round not math.round

Math.round not math.round

Dang you said it before me... oh well...

Curse case-sensitive naming! I'm too used to C++. And Flash 4.

Thanks.

Yup C++ spoils you
