Round number to nearest divisible number
I have a draggable object that has a minimum (negative) and maximum (0) y position (-1200 to 0 for example).
When dragged between these y positions, I want to snap the object via a tween, to nearest y positon divisible by minus 300 for example. So when I release the dragged object, it will either be -300, -600 or -900.
I have tried a few functions I found online, but I am not getting this working.
The nearest I found is as follows:
Code:
roundToNearest(roundTo:Number, value:Number):Number{
return Math.round(value/roundTo)*roundTo;
}
I call it like:
Code:
roundToNearest(ob.y, -300);
The idea is to be able to drag the object as at present, but if I let go of the object at -400 y position, then it will snap to -300.
Anybody got any ideas?

Hi,
Heres a clue and it should work throguh my tests
aa = clip.y % 300;// or whatever the section gaps are
bb = clip.y - aa;
cc = clip tween current y to bb
you will need to decipher which marker it is nearest to before tweening, example(-450 current y value)

Thanks fruitbeard, I will give it a try. The deciding to ceil or floor is the part that I was hoping had a dvisible function, but I guess some extra code will be needed as per usual.

Hi,
This should help you further along then, you will need to put your own drag feature to it.
If you place a small MovieClip on the stage and name it clip
PHP Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var section:Number = 300;
var partA:Number;
var partB:Number;
var partC:Number = section / 2;
var doTween:Tween;
function doTweenOnRelease(releaseY:Number):void
{
partA = releaseY % section;
if (partA < partC)
{
partB = releaseY - partA;
}
else
{
partB = releaseY + (section - partA);
}
trace("Start y pos: " + releaseY + " - moving to " + partB);
doTween = new Tween(clip,"y",None.easeNone,releaseY,partB,1,true);
doTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, endTween);
}
doTweenOnRelease(clip.y);
function endTween(e:TweenEvent):void
{
trace("End y: " + clip.y);
}
and perhaps test it more by changing the y value of clip

Hi,
Mess around with this, it is done with positive numbers, but I'm sure you can just output the number with a - infront of it.

Thanks fruitbeard,
I had a quick demo and it works great. I am going to look over your code closer to see how your division works (my math is not as good as I wished it was) and see where my previous attempts were going wrong. This will really help.
