Thanks Ian... I was aware of the problem in general from experiences with Java, but I guess I'd ignored them.
I'm multiplying by 100 and dividing by 100 also. If I'd written this system from scratch i'd have created my own numeric class and represented floating point numbers as 2 seperate variables... Here's a direct lift from something I posted on the OSFlash list...This is all to do with floating-point precision and that you can'trepresent all numbers exactly (0.1 is one culprit) in the IEEstandard. There are plenty of sites about this - see here, forexample:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point#Problems_with_floating-pointYou are almost certainly better off working with integers; or perhapsmultiplying up your numbers by 100 before working with them, thenreducing as a final step, or something similar.This is not just limited to Flash/AS2 as an issue.IanOn 4/28/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] .figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
