Re: [Flashcoders] alpha -= 10 = wtf
as a side note, this is the exact same thing happening with Gradients ... a gradient's ratios can range from 0 to 255, hence giving this *not so precise and clean gradient* impression ... just as a side note cedric Has this been discussed?

Re: [Flashcoders] alpha -= 10 = wtf
Floats are exact outside a computer, in the computer world, for performance purposes, Float will never be exact Cedric how come floats arent exact? jk will floats be exact in AS3? or will future versions of flash support big ints? judah John Dowdell wrote: Jason Rayles wrote: Has this been discussed?

yep but then if you try to assign this newly found 90 value to this._alpha, you won't find back your 90 if you trace it again ;) trace(this._alpha); trace(this._alpha-10); Output: 100 90 On 12/15/05, Judah Frangipane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: how come floats arent exact? jk will floats be exact in AS3? or will future versions of flash support big ints? judah John Dowdell wrote: Jason Rayles wrote: Has this been discussed?

Flash player 8 trace(this._alpha); this._alpha -= 10; trace(this._alpha); Output: 100 89.84375 Yup, alpha is stored internally as values dividable by 100/256. Thus the value upon setting will be rounded to the nearest legal value. Use another variable in between: init: this.alpha = this._alpha; update: this._alpha = this.alpha -= 10; alpha will then always be correct (with the value you want it to be), and _alpha will keep up as good as it can. :) -- Morten Barklund - Information Architect - Shockwaved Gothersgade 49, 4th floor - DK-1123 Copenhagen K, Denmark Phone: +45 7027 2227 - Fax: +45 3369 1174 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
