Re: FLASH: Math functions?

[Oliver Emberton]

There are no maths functions in Flash (except Int and Random) - you'll have to code them yourself.


For ABS ( x ) , try:

if x < 0 then x = - x 


(This should be a fraction faster than x = x*-1)


SQRT can be done iteratively, but this is v.slow & quite complex in Flash. If you really need that function, try interacting with JavaScript

Am I right in assuming there is no abs function?


I guess I can use:


 if x < 0 then x = x*-1


what about sqrt???
