Can someone explain what classid and codebase are used for in embedding
ActiveX controls in a webpage? Why are they necessary and where do they
come from?
We have an activeX control (A flash player wrapper) which is acting up
on certain severs but not others, and I'm trying to track down why.
It is Math.random() sorry. The Math.random() function returns a number
between 1 0. The Java function that you are using returns a random integer
or whole number, I don think there is an upper bound to it.
The rest of your function is getting the modulus of the random number which
in fact is
Yeah, sorry got my code mixed up, its Math.random() not Math.rand(). My
mistake.

Actually Math.random always return a positive number between 0 and 1 so

Its not quite just a random choice. I think that the other variables affect
what is happening here. The numOfEqual is filtering the returned number to
make sure that the bestXPos is always larger than the last one (I think)
So if we take this and enter some actual values on say the third loop
That is true, and its true in the Java code too, as the rand.nextInt() will
always return an integer which must be positive.

Thanks Jim, I had overlooked that fact and is probably why the game is not
behaving correctly.
Just to clarify, does it still need the % operator.
The java code is:

bestXPos = i;
}

Hi,
are you sure negative leadings are allowed? I've tried and don't see

I'm guessing lineCount should be an integer, so you should use:
Math.floor(ht/(size+leading))
Assuming leading0.

Am quite busy so I can only give a quick answer, but I believe there is

I have run into similar problems with tweens and I fixed it by stopping the
tweens before I start them on every button.
Inside your event handler:
Tweenname.stop();
Tweenname.start();
Or
Tweenname.stop();
Tweenname = new Tween(prop, prop);
I don't use lacos tweens by themselves so I don't

Yeah, i do similar. Keep references to tweens and check them in the function

Doing a trace I can see the copies are being affected as if they are

Yes. You need to clone the objects/arrays, not just set pointers.

var i:Number = oldArray.length;
while (i--) {
newArray[i] = oldArray[i];
}
return newArray;

IMO, there's nothing wrong with using TextField.variable. It has its

like bevels and dropshadows in Photoshop aren't always a bad thing
either. Of course, Lens Flare is a different
I don't see anything wrong after a (very) cursory glance.
One red flag, though, is that you are making your variables public. This
means there could be code elsewhere that sets them to be identical to
each other. Because of issues like this, I think it's a good practice
never to make variables

You can also alter the Tween class (by creating an own version from, or
