Hey, it cuts off the lowest 3 bits. These lowest 3 bits are 001, 010, 011 etc, so 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 But cutting off only the lowest three bits, will result in 0..7 being 0, 8..15 being 8, while you want 0..4 -> 0 , 5..12 -> 8, etc, so 4 is added. But Benjamin can prolly explain better hehe since it'

44. should be rounded to 48. Try some simple mathematics, check out the difference between (48 - 44.) vs (44. - 40) and tell me which is the greater difference? On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:04 AM, Jiri Heitlager wrote: > Thnx that seems to work good enough. > > 44. is rounded to 48

Wouldn't 44 be the cutoff in that case and anything above (44.444) should go to 48? -Joe --- On Thu, 12/18/08, Jiri Heitlager wrote: > From: Jiri Heitlager > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] round number to closet value of 8 > To: "Flash Coders List" > Date: Thursday,
