Public Methods

Method	Description
abs ( float value ) : float	Calculate the absolute value of a number.
bound ( float value, float min, float max ) : float	Bound a number by a minimum and maximum. Ensures that this number is no smaller than the minimum, and no larger than the maximum.
ceil ( float value ) : float	Round up to the next whole number. E.g. ceil(1.3) == 2, and ceil(-2.3) == -3.
compareClassNames ( object object1, object object2 ) : bool	Check to see if two objects have the same class name.
computeVelocity ( float velocity, float acceleration, float drag, float max = 10000.0f ) : float	A tween-like function that takes a starting velocity and some other factors and returns an altered velocity.
floor ( float value ) : float	Round down to the next whole number. E.g. floor(1.7) == 1, and floor(-2.7) == -2.
formatArray ( Array anyArray ) : string	Generate a comma-separated string from an array. Especially useful for tracing or other debug output.
formatMoney ( float amount, bool showDecimal = true, bool englishStyle = true ) : string	Automatically commas and decimals in the right places for displaying money amounts. Does not include a dollar sign or anything, so doesn't really do much if you call say `String results = FlxU.formatMoney(10,false);` However, very handy for displaying large sums or decimal money values.
formatTicks ( long startTicks, long endTicks ) : string	Takes two "ticks" timestamps and formats them into the number of seconds that passed as a String. Useful for logging, debugging, the watch window, or whatever else.
formatTime ( ulong seconds, bool showMS = false ) : string	Format seconds as minutes with a colon, an optionally with milliseconds too.
getClass ( string name ) : object	Look up a `Class` object by its string name.
getClassName ( object obj, bool simple = false ) : string	Get the `String` name of any `Object`.
getHSB ( uint color, Array result = null ) : Array	Loads an array with the HSB values of a Flash `uint` color. Hue is a value between 0 and 360. Saturation, Brightness and Alpha are as floating point numbers between 0 and 1.
getRGBA ( uint color, Array result = null ) : Array	Loads an array with the RGBA values of a Flash `uint` color. RGB values are stored 0-255. Alpha is stored as a floating point number between 0 and 1.
getRandom ( Array objects, uint startIndex, uint length ) : object	Fetch a random entry from the given array. Will return null if random selection is missing, or array has no entries. `FlxG.getRandom()` is deterministic and safe for use with replays/recordings. HOWEVER, `FlxU.getRandom()` is NOT deterministic and unsafe for use with replays/recordings.
getTicks ( ) : long	Just grabs the current "ticks" or time in milliseconds that has passed since Flash Player started up. Useful for finding out how long it takes to execute specific blocks of code.
makeColor ( uint red, uint green, uint blue, float alpha = 1.0f ) : uint	Generate a Flash `uint` color from RGBA components.
makeColorFromHSB ( float hue, float saturation, float brightness, float alpha = 1.0f ) : uint	Generate a Flash `uint` color from HSB components.
max ( float number1, float number2 ) : float	Figure out which number is larger.
min ( float number1, float number2 ) : float	Figure out which number is smaller.
openURL ( string url ) : void	Opens a web page in a new tab or window. MUST be called from the UI thread or else badness.
rotatePoint ( float x, float y, float pivotX, float pivotY, float angle, FlxPoint point = null ) : FlxPoint	Rotates a point in 2D space around another point by the given angle.
round ( float value ) : float	Round to the closest whole number. E.g. round(1.7) == 2, and round(-2.3) == -2.
shuffle ( Array objects, uint howManyTimes ) : Array	Shuffles the entries in an array into a new random order. `FlxG.shuffle()` is deterministic and safe for use with replays/recordings. HOWEVER, `FlxU.shuffle()` is NOT deterministic and unsafe for use with replays/recordings.
