math

hi,

I'm generating a random number between min and max with this code:

return min + (max - min) * Math.random();

And it works. However, the random numbers are very little usually between "1 or 3" even if the max is 80.

How can I better distribute the random numbers over all range ?

thanks

Hi, I'm using a class which applies a visual reflection-effect to defined movieclips. I use a reflection-class from here: link to source. It works like a charm except when I apply a rotation to the movieclip. In my case the reflection is still visible but only a part of it. What am I doing wrong?… >>> More

Here's an interesting architectural query. I have a piece of code that needs to run on the server (under Node.js) and on the client (in a Flash 10 app written with Actionscript 3). The code is mostly fairly intricate object manipulation, it doesn't make any API calls, and works fine in both contexts… >>> More
