Problems applying Math.round to a text field - AS3 - actionscript-3

Question

I’m trying to make a simple game that uses a basic equation:
‘linkCount’ / ‘clickCount’ * 100 to create a % success amount, ‘percentCount’
The text fields and the following as3 all live in a Movieclip on root level with instance name ‘counter_int’:
as3:
var clickCount:int = 1; //see below* for what controls this number
var linkCount:int = 1; //see below* for what controls this number
var percentCount:int = (100);
percentCount++;
percent_text.text = (int(linkCount) / int(clickCount) * 100 + "%").toString();
This works fine and displays a % amount in the correct field. However, my question is about truncating the % I get to remove anything after the decimal place. I’ve tried everything I can to get this to work but it’s not having it.

Now, here’s the tricky bit that i think is possibly causing my Math.round problem… I basically just don’t know where or how to apply the Math.round instruction?! I also suspect it might be a problem with using ‘int’ and have tried using ‘Number’ but it still displays decimal places.
I am using 2 buttons within 25 different movieclips…
Button locations:
all_int_circles_master.cone.FAILlinkbutton
all_int_circles_master.cone.linkbutton
all_int_circles_master.ctwo.FAILlinkbutton
all_int_circles_master.ctwo.linkbutton
etc … to ctwentyfive
The as3 on FAIL buttons:
FAILlinkbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addClick1);
function addClick1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Object(root).counter_int.clickCount++;
Object(this.parent.parent).counter_int.clicked_total.text = Object(root).counter_int.clickCount.toString();
}
The as3 on successful link buttons:
linkbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickNextSlide2);
function onClickNextSlide2(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Object(root).counter_int.clickCount++;
Object(this.parent.parent).counter_int.clicked_total.text = Object(root).counter_int.clickCount.toString();
}
The % currently gets returned as e.g.:
74.334753434
but I need it to just be:
74
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can supply the .fla if necessary. This is kind of what I've been trying but no luck so far:
should the Math.round be applied at root level / globally somehow!?
should the Math.round be applied within the counter_int movieclip?
should the Math.round be applied within all of the all_int_circles_master.cone / two / three... movieclips?
Thanks

Answer 1

Have you tried
percent_text.text = (Math.round(int(linkCount) / int(clickCount) * 100) + "%").toString();

Answer 2

percent_text.text = (int(linkCount) / int(clickCount) * 100 +
"%").toString();
I think you have your clickCount and linkCount backwards, swap those and round the results before adding the percent symbol:
percent_text.text = (Math.round((int(clickCount) / int(linkCount) * 100)).toString() + "%";
A pure AS3 example:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Main extends Sprite {
var clickCount:int = 0;
var linkCount:int = 30;
var clicked_total:TextField;
var button:CustomSimpleButton;
public function Main() {
button = new CustomSimpleButton();
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickNextSlide2);
addChild(button);
clicked_total = new TextField();
clicked_total.text = "0%";
clicked_total.x = 100;
addChild(clicked_total);
}
function onClickNextSlide2(event:MouseEvent):void {
clickCount++;
if (clickCount < linkCount) {
clicked_total.text = (Math.round((clickCount / linkCount) * 100)).toString() + "%";
} else {
clicked_total.text = "Done";
}
}
}
}
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
class CustomSimpleButton extends SimpleButton {
private var upColor:uint = 0xFFCC00;
private var overColor:uint = 0xCCFF00;
private var downColor:uint = 0x00CCFF;
private var size:uint = 80;
public function CustomSimpleButton() {
downState = new ButtonDisplayState(downColor, size);
overState = new ButtonDisplayState(overColor, size);
upState = new ButtonDisplayState(upColor, size);
hitTestState = new ButtonDisplayState(upColor, size * 2);
hitTestState.x = -(size / 4);
hitTestState.y = hitTestState.x;
useHandCursor = true;
}
}
class ButtonDisplayState extends Shape {
private var bgColor:uint;
private var size:uint;
public function ButtonDisplayState(bgColor:uint, size:uint) {
this.bgColor = bgColor;
this.size = size;
draw();
}
private function draw():void {
graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, size, size);
graphics.endFill();
}
}
