Argh! Flash Sucks at Floats

Seriously. Just paste this into a new fla file and test. (I'm using CS3 at work);

trace(0.1 + 0.2);

Can you believe that?

Also try:

And:

Stuff like that can really bugger up a scrolling engine's smoothness if you're not careful.

No it can't. Do you realise how small that is? :P

Those are entirely processor-specific, nothing to blame Flash for. Use a modulo function to correct it.

What's awesome is that the Float issue only occurs in AS3. DDDDDDOWNGRADED.

Trust me on this one - I do actually have some experience making stuff like this :P What looks like a small error translates into a bloody great big shudder effect when applied to stage graphics. I've not had the problem in my last few engines, but a while ago I had to work in some otherwise unnecessary rounding to the engine I was making...

Little as3 question: What's the difference between a Number, int, and uint?

A Number is just any rational number, an int is any integer, and a uint can only be positive.

Isnt and integer: number^int? And what would happen if you gave a uint variable a negitive value?

A rational would be a bignum over another actually. Either way, what? Numbers are floats or a mantissa with an exponent, go Wikipedia. An uint would wrap or give an exception, dunno. I don't see why you have to ask because it takes three seconds to test.

Not sure what you mean there :s

Happens in both AS2/3 for me.

Other Languages

Since we are on the topic of coding. Does anyone here code much except actionscript? I know a fair amount of lua, but no c# or anything.

I'm bracing for deltas post :D.

Just C++ really.

Not a big deal. If you want floats use cpp. I think as3 is trying to achieve more of a broad spectrum of programability. When it comes to more specific funtions, like arithmetic, its primary concern is being useful. How many times would you use a float to load in xml objects into an swf, or a video into an fl video player? Do you need a float to create a tabbed layout for a website portfolio? Do you need a float to have Bush beat Arnold in a fight? :P

Yah it sucks, it takes away from accuracy, but you really have to appreciate flash for its diverse ability and multi-usefulness, rather than shortcomings that might create a stutter in your flash platform video game.

Then again, if you complain to the right people they'll be able to work on it for F10...

I use OCaml instead of C++. I'm so cool.
And Pascal and Python and Haxe.
I'm still, uh, 'working' on my language also.

err, Java, Pascal, and C, C++, and C# but only tiny bits of each.

I still think "gust" would be a good name ;).

Hmmm... So, real languages. Anyone speak more than one language?

I speak OKish Spanish :P

The only reason I know any C++ is from Delta sending me the sources to his physics engines to show off and just studying the syntax. =P
