Flex and Flash Builder automatically build the html template and run the swf in the browser, with the Flash IDE you would need to export the swf and have a html file point at it and open in the browser.

Similar if you compile via the command line export it and run the html file pointing at it.

When running DeMonsterDebugger should have no problem picking it up.

hope that helps,

private function truncate(val:String, decimalPlaces:Number):Number
{
//Source: http://arctic-code.com/blog/?p=156
var numArray:Array = val.split(“.”);
var whole:String = numArray[0];
var frac:String = “”;

if(numArray[1] != null)
frac = numArray[1];

if (decimalPlaces > frac.length) decimalPlaces = frac.length;

return parseFloat(whole + “.” + frac.substr(0,decimalPlaces));

}

sometimes, some number does not have any decimal at all, and this causes error of null. to counter that, set frac to an empty string first

It really does a lot of conversions: Number->String->Number

Hope this helps someone =)

var avgRed:Number = 0;

(…) //some calculations

var maxRGB:int = 255;
ret[0] = Number((avgRed/maxRGB).toPrecision(2));
trace(“the avg red of the pic is = ” + ret[0]);

//the avg red of the pic is = 0.55
