Just discovered this. I have a character moving across the screen at a
very slow rate. His complete journey should be around 20 minutes, making
every frame increment at 0.0256527777777778. However, adding this to _x
isn't even registred, meaning adding 0.0256527777777778 to 0 (as _x) means
_x will remain at 0. FOREVER.
Adding 0.0256527777777778 to a temp variable, and setting _x to that
variable rounded worked fine.
Any particular limitation of _x here that i wasnt aware of? Probably.
Yes. *Apparently* positions on the stage are based on twips, or 1/20th of a
pixel, so the least it can actually move is 0.05 pixels. The kind of
incrementation you're done - on movieclip properties - really should be done
on a separate temp variable, as most of the properties seem to have similar
precision limitations.
