Grand Total/Calculating Animation

[MDiddy]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm wondering if anyone's ever run across a class or component that will create an effect while a total is being calculated....I have to make a server call to get a value and while that's happening, I want to display a string of random numbers of a set length until the value comes back. I googled and didn't come up with anything and figured I'd ask before rolling up my own.

 

Thanks!

to display a string of random numbers of a set length

 

 

function randomNumber(min:Number, max:Number):Number {

return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 + max - min) + min);
}

trace(randomNumber(1000, 9999));

 

the above will give you a random 4 digit number. adjust the min/max as needed.
