[RESOLVED] foce number positive

[Boombanguk]

What's the fastest way to force a var to be positive? i've tried

Math.abs(nn);

but it doesn't seem to work.

It should work. Give us the rest of your code, like where you are setting "nn".

[_Ric_]

var n:Number = -0.65;
trace(Math.abs(n)); //0.65

works as expected here.

I'm not sure if this is your problem but:
Math.abs(nn);
Wont do anything.

You need:
nn = Math.abs(nn);

It should work. Give us the rest of your code, like where you are setting "nn".

var nn:Number = xx2-xx1;
Math.abs(nn);

*EDIT*

Ugh...as the previous poster said..... nn=Math.abs(nn);.......not sure how I missed that, btw.
