andy, are you decompiling your own SWFs? also, what are you seeking from decompiling the SWFs? i ask for 2 reasons: 1) if you are decompiling other people's SWFs, they usually do not like it, so stop. 2) not all SWFs come from FLAs anymore. if you do not know the provenance of

[Flashcoders] Partially embedded fonts

Hi list... I have some dynamic text boxes using an embedded font. These text boxes only use a select few glyphs, but I have to embed the font with linkage for others to see it. The font adds a lot of bulk to the swf and I'm wondering if there's a way to embed only the necessary glyphs and

[Flashcoders] Area of a triangle using perimiter values only

I'm trying to figure the area of a triangle in Actionscript using the perimeter values only, not the traditional simple formula: area = (height/2)*base because figuring the height is tricky given the triangle will be drawn in odd ways (i.e. a not horizontally alinged base), so I am

Re: [Flashcoders] Area of a triangle using perimiter values only

To dodge your question, couldn't you just use the simple distance forumula to determine the base even when it's not horizontal? I dont' know much about your application or if you'll have the points where the triangle's points lie, but that's just an idea. Oh, but I just thought of something

RE: Re: [Flashcoders] Area of a triangle using perimiter values only

Without looking up the source of that formula (i.e., just based on what you wrote), I determine this: that in order for the result of multiplication to be negative, one of the terms containing subtraction must be negative. In order for that to occur, one side of your triangle is longer than the

Re: [Flashcoders] Area of a triangle using perimiter values only

Hi Jason If the number is coming out negative the most likely reason is that the numbers you are supplying do not make a triangle. (e.g. two sides are length 1 each and the third is 2 or more). I've tested your code and it does produce positive numbers for all valid triangles I've tried. Jake

Re: [Flashcoders] Area of a triangle using perimiter values only

Negative result of ((a+b+c)*(b+c-a)*(c+a-b)*(a+b-c)) is not possible if a,b, and c are lengths of a triangle's sides. The first term will always be obviously positive, and so will the other three terms -- they are simply the sum of the lengths of two sides less the third side, and you can't
