Well, since I managed to leave my side-lights on this morning and my car battery is flat, whilst I wait for the AA man to come and save me I figured I'd have a few seconds spare... which seems to be rather rare these days, for some unknown reason. I think relocating and changing jobs yet again is proving to be the killer here, although there are a fair variety of other things. I can't wait until...

Lazy Number manipulation (such as decimal places or precision)
If you want to manipulate a Number Object (variable) to a specific precision or to fixed decimal places, instead of manipulating the Number itself you can use the Number Class conversion Methods such as toFixed and toPrecision and cast the String Objects they return back to Number Objects: pi = Number(Math.PI.toFixed(2)); trace(pi); // 3.14 Not a replacement for a dedicated rounding function for...
