RE: [Flashcoders] Working on Flash 6 player but not on Flash 8

2006-09-21 Thread Mike Keesey 
Well, random() has two meanings then, and the Math.random() function is
more generally useful than random() (for example, if you need a random
floating-point number). That said, I'd love a Math.randomInt() function.

Which makes me wonder why random() is deprecated.  They really think
that Math.floor(Math.random() * x) is better than random()?  Ridiculous!
The sign of a great API is its simplicity.

The earlier post (by Jake Prime) is probably the explanation. But also,
random() is deprecated; instead of random(x), you should use
Math.floor(Math.random() * x).

Re: [Flashcoders] Working on Flash 6 player but not on Flash 8

Hi Berkay

Have you set counter to a value before incrementing it? If you fail to
initialise a variable in F6, it will assume it is 0 and increment to
1. If you do this in F8 it treats it as undefined, and will stay
undefined no matter how many times you increment it.
