Well, I've got some image st00f...and I wants it to float...so I
search...and I search...and search...and search...and search...on and
on and on and on and on and on...for about 4 hours straight.

For my troubles I found nyah:
http://www.math.yorku.ca/Who/Faculty...ingObject.html

However since my image has no mass per se I wasn't really sure how
exactly I should try and recreate it programming wise.

I also came across a WHOLE fucking slew of "float" codes...not meaning
that anything was FLOATING so much as you could just position it at
any point on the screen (apparently there a LOT of people who just
haven't figured out div layering with CSS).

So then I tried to take a crack at it myself...which resulted in a
very herky-jerky float. So I'm assuming the trick is that it needs to
either follow some preset formulaic path that's not herky-jerky or
it's something else entirely that I missed out on by never taking a
physics course. *shrugs*

Hatter took the hamburger meat, threw it on the grill, and I said "Oh
Wow"...

You don't. There's easier ways of representing something like this.

density = mass/volume.

if you have a 15 g rock and its volume is 3 cubic centimeters (length in
cm * width in cm * height in cm) and you drop it in a tub of water, it's
going to sink. The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter of
water. The density of the rock is 5 grams per cubic centimeter. So, in
short, you want your mass, which you'll have to give your object to have
less than 1g per cubic centimeter. If the object's submerged, there's
more involved. And it works like this:

First, you measure its mass in air. 15 grams, we'll assume for the sake
of consistency. Your little pet 15 g rock. Your 15 g pet rock has an
apparent mass of of 12 g in water. (The measure of the mass in water, so
don't use a rock of sugar or sodium for your experiments) 15-12 = 3, so
you've displaced 3 grams of water. This is also the volume you've
displaced.(See below) Density is...? Mass divided by volume, like I said
before. 15 g /3 cubic centimeters. Your pet rock has a density of 5
g/cubic centimeter.

*- (volume of the water = mass of the water / density of the water,
which you know. It's 1 g/cubic centimeter. 3 grams / 1 gram per cubic
centimeter = 3 cubic centimeters)

Fun fact for the day: If you had a bathtub big enough and you put Saturn
in it, it would float.

That's all well and good professor trippy, you may ask, but what about
the super l33t physics page I found?

What this guy's doing just extends from what I wrote above. It's far
more precise

Fuck the super l33t physics page you found. This guy's hardcore Mr.
Physics guy. You don't want you none o' that.

Just illusion it. You're not modeling some container ship in the ocean.
You're just creating an animation. Just do what you do and illusion it.

There's this thing called Google .. really good at helping you find things.
In a minute or two I found a couple of pages with some relevant actionscript
samples for floating/hovering. Of course, you've already shown your lack of
results when it comes to searching with Google, so maybe that's a bit hard.

I'm not really sure exactly what you want from you post, but I whipped this
some script up very quickly in SWiSHmax to do some floating ... also only
took a couple of minutes. Just a few lines to set up some parameters for
the floating and then half a dozen lines to make it float in an
onEnterFrame.

Add that to an object on stage, and it will float / hover quite nicely.

It so very easy when one is (now, what was it you called me .. hard to find
amid all the insults and swearing in you posts lately) .. that's right:
"stupid math flunkie"
"spazzy lil math flunkie"
"stupid fucking retard"
.... and the list goes on.

So .. if you want the information, I would expect an apology and a change of
attitude from you.

If not .. well, you know what you can do with yourself.

No, not really actually.

No, you didn't.

Hey, you know what's EVEN HARDER...you actually posting the Google
search criteria you used to find these magic links. Like I said in
another post...you run at the mouth REAL good, but when it comes time
to step it the fuck up and deliver...yeah...yer mouth has been writin
checks that yer ass can't cash.

In theory you should only need three: velocity, spring and damp...I
didn't really want to just copy anyone's code though, I'm not some
spaghetti bitch like you. See that's the thing, I'm NOT asking for
code per se, I'm asking for a BASIC formula, it doesn't need to relate
to anything other than itself and an explanation as to WHAT the
formula is DOING...kids like you aren't ever any good with that last
bit though. See with you, you can COPY you can SLURP what other
people understand...but you never REALLY understand it yourself and
that's why when peeps like you are asked for something as simplistic
and easy as an explanation...you fail.

It's like when I asked for an explanation of the conversion from RGB
codes to premultiplied RGB codes you started retarding the fuck off
all this bullshit when all I REALLY wanted was just the BASIC formula
(which took you doorknobs like 7 posts to figure out) and then it took
ANOTHER dozen or so posts to get you doorknobs to explain that it was
simply a matter of number conversion and had no real meaning as to the
actual colors themselves (like they do when you're converting RGB to
HSL).

Instead you kept trying to get into some kind of a pissing contest and
every time I just kept bitch slappin you back in line with reality.

No thanks, I'll eventually figure it out on my own and then when I do
I'll have that much more fuel for the fire of insulting you and your
inane fuckwitted delusions. ^_^

See that's the thing about me...help is nice...when people help me I
help them when they need it...but just like the little red hen who
asked for help...I'm not DEPENDANT on it. It may take a little
longer, but it WILL get done...and when it is...well...let's hope you
don't need help. Cause the one thing I've found with most kids like
yourself...when you need help...you ARE dependant on it. Personally I
don't know the meaning of the phrase "give up". I'm not TRYING to do
anything, I'm DOING IT.

Now run along and try and find someone else to humor your need to
treat the Internet like it's real life. Apologize...tha fuck...gawd
damn stupid RLs anyway, they're like a fucking DISEASE.

Shaadup ya dork

Sorry .. some people know how to use their internet search tools
effectively. You aren't one of them, as you've demonstrated several times
now.

"actionscript floating" .. gees that was hard. I found a couple in the
first few pages of links (a cursory inspection of the descriptions lets one
rule out links that aren't relevant. Then I refined my search (that's
something people who know how to use search engines do) .. and used
"actionscript floating _x _y", seeing script for floating is going to be
changing _x and _y values. Got a lot more useful links that way.

Its not hard to use Google, if you have at least half a brain. Perhaps you
don't qualify?

Yes ... That thread is just just SO funny .. I hope you realise that the
people who actually DO have knowledge and experience in these things are
pissing ourselves laughing at you.

You couldnt even understand the simple process of converting rgb values to
hex. To add to that, like the little kid you are, you found a new term that
you thought sounded cool: "premultiplied rgb" . Funny thing is, what you
were actually asking about (ie hex conversion, only a step up from simple
multiplication and division) asking had _nothing_ to do with premultiplied
rgb. So, funnily enough, when you looked it up you couldn't understand the
exaplanations of it, or the explanations from those who actually know what
they're talking about (and for a moment though you did too, until you showed
your true ignorance).

I mean, really, someone like you who can't even understand how to convert to
hex isn't going to have a clue about techniques like premultiplied rgb that
is used to optimise image processing. Sorry, poor pathetic fool, but your
little attempt at trying to sound like a grown up by using big words
backfired on you. It just demonstrated even more cleearly that you know
nothing at all about what you're doing, and made you look like a bigger fool
that you obviously are

You really are the most ignorant and rude individual I've had the
displeasure of dealing with .. and to put it in words that you may hope to
understand:

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU IGNORANT TURD.

I mean at first I only thought you were ~kind of~ stupid, but now, now
I know yer ABSOLUTE stupid.

Yes apparently it's VERY easy to use Google to find all SORTS of
bullshit that doesn't actually come anywhere even remotely fucking
CLOSE to answering my questions!

Then again, you have such incredibly piss poor reading comprehension,
maybe it's just that you simply didn't understand what I was asking
for and what I meant by "float code". Cause for some inane fuckwitted
reason you seem to think I mean just moving an object or bouncing it
around on the screen. Sorry bitch, but I can already do that:
http://www.backwater-productions.net...orm/transmove/

I'm looking for a FLOATING EFFECT as in like a BALLOON, tethered by
string, in a room with a VERY SLIGHT breeze. There are NO examples on
the search criteria you gave that even come remotely fucking close to
that concept, you stupid ass drooling MORON.

That's it, retard back into the sheeple mentality for support, boy I
bet THAT'LL help ya!

Amazingly enough I don't have magixal inherited knowledge, no. It's a
little hard to "understand" the process when all you have is:

13,162,189 and 893629

Hex conversion I understood, it was the decimal equivalent that I was
wondering about and asked about, at which point all the stupid
doorknobs like you started fondling yourselves over the hex
conversion, completely ignoring the whole point of my question and the
context in which it was presented, which was in regards to the decimal
notation of the hex code in Flash as used in color profiling.

Take the color: 125, 138, 54. The hex conversion is 7D8A36 but in
Flash using the get pixel function they represent it as 8227382. So
my question was WHY they were doing that. It's interesting, because
it was actually YOUR STUPIDITY that led me to an answer. You kept
frothing at the mouth over hex conversion and how if you converted say
13 to hex it would give you D and that was "correct"...which it
is...except IN THE CONTEXT of RGB conversion. Because if you had, say
the color 13,52,13 the hex equivalent is D340D...but then you have no
context. The program isn't Miss Cleo and can't magically discern
whether it should be D340D0 (211,64,208) or 0D340D (13,52,13) which is
WHY it needs to keep it in the decimal form of 865293.

Again though, you were too busy masturbating over hex conversion to
even comprehend what the fuck it was I was asking about.

As is proven nyah:
Way to make yerself look like a retard there...the funny part is you
probably don't even know why. LOL

You know what the difference is between you and I?

I produce:

Reality sure is a bitch, innt? For all your fit throwing that FACT
will NEVER change. And in a month from now I'm sure you'll STILL be
claiming you have some imaginary float code that you spaghetti bitched
off Google...the difference of course will be that while you can only
TALK about it...I will actually HAVE a working prototype of the effect
by then.

No .. you also had the "toString" method that converts a number into a hex
string. And then when shown how to use it, you couldn't understand it.

What 'decimal equivlalent' to hex conversion .. this is the first time
you've mentioned that. All you asked about was the hex conversions for your
r,g,b values. That was very well covered in that thread.

Because its the exact same number .. just one written in decimal, and one as
a string in hexadecimal notation. And RGB value is just a number .. and
there are lots of ways of writing a given number.

Its correct in any context, really, but lets ignore that...

That's correct .. it is

What does a context have to do with it. The RGB value for a color with
those components is D340D in hex (or 865293 in decimal). And whne you
reverse the steps to convert that number back to separate r,g,b components,
you get the right answer. Unless, of course, there is some problem with the
code that is doing that conversion back to r,g,b components. Of course, I
said all that in the thread.

D340D cannot be D340D0 .. they are different numbers. But D340D is exactly
the same as 0D340D .. the leading zero makes no difference for a hex nubmer.

Well, that also fits in what I had said, that you don't really need the hex
string for image processing if you have the numbers already (either the
separate R,G,B component or the combined RGB value). You only may need hex
if you need an ASCII string represenation (hex is much easier to read than
decimal for a human)

I could see what you were asking about .. but you just couldn't see the
answers for all your swearing and for your sudden decision that somehow
'premultiplied rgb' was somehow related to this.

I guess that, from what I've read, you are actually a large fat slob, not a
little kid. You just behave like a little kid.

But oither than that, its spot on. You still suddenly started talking about
'premultiplied rgb', even though it had no relevance to what you were
actually asking, and them you flamed those who tried to explain what it
actually was to you. So funny, yet so sad. Really, the only one
masturbating and making it hard to get to the answers was yourself, through
your own ignorance and arrogance. Noone to blame but yourself.

Ah .. I see .. you produce simple low quality toy web apps. I wouldn't go
posting links to that as proof of your abilities. You'll be laughed at even
more.

Further on hex for RGB...

There is at least one situation where you can need to pad to the six hex
'digits', and that is when using html/css where colors can be specified by
either 6-digit or 3-digit hex strings. The 3-digit ones being the so-called
'web-safe' colors, where the low and high nibble of each byte is the same.
In that case "#369" is the same as "#336699" when it comes to colors. eg see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#color-units

Now, in that case, you could pad with leading zero, similar to how I showed
in the other thread:

var rgb : String = "#" + ("000000" +
((r*256+g)*256+b).toString(16)).substr(-6);

or, if you already the combined rgb color, like you have from getPixel, lets
say its in variable clr, then you could use:

var rgb : String = "#" + ("000000" + clr.toString(16)).substr(-6);

so if you set clr = 8227382 (from your previous reply), then rgb ends up as
"#7d8a36". Is you set clr = 893629, then rgb ends up as "#0da2bd"

Obviously replace the "#" with "0x" if you want the same prefix as AS uses,
or remove it if you just want the 'raw' 6-digit hex string.

In no way does it prove me stupid...

But it does prove you stupid, as it will very easily fail, whereas mine
won't.

Do you want a clue as to why that won't work? Or an easy fix to make it

You, it seems.

Oh .. are you tormenting me? Should I be scared? I've had people much
better at it than you try and fail.

Hmm .. I do think you overrate yourself. I would have only thought you to
be a minor irritation at the best, something easily ignored if I choose. I
think you're more of a minor amusement, like a little tiny fish on the end
of my line, nibbling at the bait and not realising who it is that is on the
other end of the line, reeling you in.
