surly no need for floats as someone pointed out. also if you call float point manager directly using the sysTrap FlmEm, you need no globals. try it….

I’m not very familiar with C (Java fan), but 0.3 seems to be a float value, isn’t it? I think Blake Winton was right.

Hi,
I used no float here…just a plain C multiplication….

Best regards

Why do you need float for such a task at all? Come on and think before posting…

Floating point multiplication and division need globals, I believe because they resolve into calls to the FloatMgr. But if you wrote something like

srcrect.extent.x=percent/3;
that should be just fine, since it’ll end up as integer division, which doesn’t need the FloatMgr…

Later,
Blake.
