x, y integers

[pumpkin2006]

Hello,

I have a feeling the answer to this is probably 'no' but worth a shot...
using actionscript I want to round up the xy position of everything on my stage to the nearest integer,
i.e. if something has a position of x = 24.8, y = 35.7 they would be repositioned to x = 25, y = 36.
Is this possible?

thanks!

Hi,

this might help you out.

// *** round up
myObject._x = Math.round(myObject._x);// makes 33.6 > 34
myObject._y = Math.round(myObject._y);// makes 29.6 > 30
// *** round down
//myObject._x = Math.floor(myObject._x);// makes 33.6 > 33
//myObject._y = Math.floor(myObject._y);// makes 29.6 > 29 

or you could just make sure they have rounded xy coords when you put them on the stage.

the code below will list all movieclips and if they have x or y coords with decimals in them it will round them up.

for (var i in this)
{
    if (typeof (this[i]) == "movieclip")
    {
        trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is current x " + this[i]._x);
        trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is current y " + this[i]._y);
        if (this[i]._x.indexOf(".") != -1)
        {

            this[i]._x = Math.round(this[i]._x);
            trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is new x " + this[i]._x);
        }
        if (this[i]._y.indexOf(".") != -1)
        {

            this[i]._y = Math.round(this[i]._y);
            trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is new y " + this[i]._y);
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

but i'm looking for a way to apply the rounding to everything that has xy coordinates, including points in splines as well as MCs and graphics
without having to reference everything individually.

Hi,

my post edit will surely help you along the way then

Hi again,

this will do it but im not sure about nested clips ect ect yet.

put it on your main time line

for (var i in this)
{
    if (typeof (this[i]) == "movieclip")
    {
        trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is current x " + this[i]._x);
        trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is current y " + this[i]._y);
        if (this[i]._x.indexOf(".") != -1)
        {

            this[i]._x = Math.round(this[i]._x);
            trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is new x " + this[i]._x);
        }
        if (this[i]._y.indexOf(".") != -1)
        {

            this[i]._y = Math.round(this[i]._y);
            trace("movie clip '" + this[i]._name + "' is new y " + this[i]._y);
        }
    }
    if (typeof (this[i]) == "object")
    {
        trace("object '" + this[i]._name + "' is current x " + this[i]._x);
        trace("object '" + this[i]._name + "' is current y " + this[i]._y);
        if (this[i]._x.indexOf(".") != -1)
        {

            this[i]._x = Math.round(this[i]._x);
            trace("object '" + this[i]._name + "' is new x " + this[i]._x);
        }
        if (this[i]._y.indexOf(".") != -1)
        {

            this[i]._y = Math.round(this[i]._y);
            trace("object '" + this[i]._name + "' is new y " + this[i]._y);
        }
    }
}

Hi,

This one is less messy.

for (var i in this)
{
    // *** movieclips
    if (typeof (this[i]) == "movieclip")
    {
        // *** x 
        this[i].oldX = this[i]._x;
        this[i]._x = Math.ceil(this[i]._x);
        trace("movie clip : '" + this[i]._name + "' original x is (" + this[i].oldX + ") new x is (" + this[i]._x + ")");
        // *** y
        this[i].oldY = this[i]._y;
        this[i]._y = Math.ceil(this[i]._y);
        trace("movie clip : '" + this[i]._name + "' original y is (" + this[i].oldY + ") new y is (" + this[i]._y + ")\n");
    }
    // *** buttons, graphics, textfields ...   
    if (typeof (this[i]) == "object")
    {
        // *** x
        this[i].oldX = this[i]._x;
        this[i]._x = Math.ceil(this[i]._x);
        trace("Object : '" + this[i]._name + "' original x is (" + this[i].oldX + ") new x is (" + this[i]._x + ")");
        // *** y
        this[i].oldY = this[i]._y;
        this[i]._y = Math.ceil(this[i]._y);
        trace("Object : '" + this[i]._name + "' original y is (" + this[i].oldY + ") new y is (" + this[i]._y + ")\n");
    }
}

hey, thanks a lot!

will give it a try later
