Comment on Number.toString bug by Virgil Cristea

Int cannot store that value I needed. I do not think it is a floating point error as in debug I see the correct value set up in the numberVariable. The problem appears only when I do toString().

It’s not a bug per se, and the problem is not in the toString method. The problem is that the Number class uses 53 bits to store its values. ints and uints use 32 bits. The number you passed in would take more bits than that to represent. Just try this:

trace(-9223372036854775808);

You get the same result.

53 bits lets you accurately store numbers as large as 9007199254740992. You can store numbers larger than that, but at the expense of accuracy.

Thanks JohnG! I’ve modified the code also.

Small oversight:
This code won’t work as is without the second parameter.

If the second paramter is null, it will crash on the 2nd line where you check “tags.length”. Easy fix is to make the 2nd parameter default to an empty string (”"), which will have a valid length.

Hello HSCharles! Although your comment doesn’t belong to this post/article the answer is simple. Google AdSense doesn’t work directly in flash sites because the ads are displayed based on the site’s content. In the case of flash web sites the content cannot easily be retrieved and the ads won’t work. Other problem is that Google doesn’t provide any API for flash based AdSense ads. Now, to put an google ad on your flash website you can use an absolute positioned div over your swf file. Not many will notice that the ads are not in flash. But the problem with the content remains. The Google AdSense ads display the ads based on web site’s content. Cheers!

Hi! This was good and simple. But what is static ? You didn’t tell that. Well this is old post and I google it right away, but maybe next one need to know that.

Thanks!

Comment on Flex Camp Triangle - How Was It? by Victor Dramba

The event was great, as usual. I’ll never miss one from now. There were a few details I didn’t already know about Flash Player 10 and the code examples presented there will speed up future implementation we will do at our company.

A little rectification I’d like to make about our Cabanova. The current release that you can see on cabanova.com is AS2 based ideed. But the version presented there, CabanovaTX (currently in the internal beta phase) is written in AS3 with Flex Builder. We don’t use Flex framework but for sure, we couldn’t do it without Flex Builder. Coupled with SVN and a good IDE for served-side coding, Flex is the best RIA tool for small or large team-worked projects.
