Hey! Ilyaslamasse agreed with me on the fact, that (probably) not many flash users know how to use the % operator… Maybe you could throw this in your AS tricks…? _(any integer with a “%2” attached can destinguish odd numbers from even numbers…_ Say i have the # 45… 45%2 = 1 = (odd number) and # 46… 46%2 = 0 = (even number) then just throw in an “if” statement to tell the 1 and 0 apart…! 🙂 (the odd/even trick was just 1 idea…) ---

Hey eilsoe, I’ll add that in tomorrow. Yeah, that sounds eerily similar to the Mod operator in C++ or VB. Cheers! Kirupa :rambo: ---

Good idea yes, but maybe you should talk about the % operator a little bit more generally too. For instance, Supra used it in his gallery code brilliantly. Just an idea. pom :asian:
