Number SNAP: rounds a number to the nearest increment of the
'range' in respect to the 'base'
Arguments:
- range: the difference from one 'rounded' value to the next
- base: the reference number from which the 'rounded' values are based on. If the base is
0, and the range is 10, returned values could range from ...-20, -10, 0, 10, 20, 30...
Returns:
- returns the numbers closest rounding point based on arguments.
Example:
// This will rotate a clip in 90 degree intervals based on a
// 45 degree base, i.e. the clip will rotate to 45º, 135º,
//-135º and -45º continuously.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
rot += 5;
_rotation = rot.snap(90,45);
}
