Try using Math.ceil or Math.floor just in case.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Strange behaviour from modulus operator
Experiencing a strange problem using the modulus operator.
Inside a function I have the following code:
var vValue1 = passed_MC._x - this.Maze_Horizontal_offset;
var vValue2 = 36;
var vTheResult = vValue1 % vValue2;
trace ("vValue1 = " + vValue1);
trace ("vTheResult = " + Number(vTheResult));
And here are the results I am getting from the trace statements:
vValue1 = 324
vTheResult = 5.6843418860808e-14
----------------
Surely it should give me a result of zero as 36 goes into 324 exactly 9
times.
The weird thing is if I just hard code the values as follows, it works
var vValue1 = 324;
var vValue2 = 36;
var vTheResult = vValue1 % vValue2;
trace ("vTheResult = " + Number(vTheResult));
-----------------
And here is the result of the trace statement:
vTheResult = 0
I am therefore totally confused!!!
Any help much appreciated. I am publishing for Flash 7 with Actionscript
1.0
Thanks
Paul
