What are you building DS?

_global.zoomScale = (400/small_obj._height)*100 ? lol Got it Thanks guys, one of those moments

hmmmm…. ya this doesn’t quite work though…

ok so say you have a Flash object which is 100% scale and the height is 400… now inside is a smaller object which is say 200 high… what is formula to scale the large object, so the smaller block appears as 400 pixels on screen.

_global.zoomScale = (small_obj._height/400)*100 <-- this gives me 50% (this just makes it smaller)

_global.zoomScale = ((small_obj._height/400)*100)*100 <-- this gives me 5000% (this just makes it too big)

ok but what is the formula hmm why does it seem so simple, am I retarded?

Ok so say you have a piece of paper that’s 200cm x 200cm… and on that piece of paper there is a square drawn which is 50cm big… what is the percentage scale needed to enlarge the paper so the drawn square is 200 cm big.

Hope this makes sense

I don’t think he will see this thread, but send him a Facebook message

I would say it leads to better efficiency but happiness is something beyond our grasping power I guess.

Well where does unhappiness come from, past regrets or future worries.. both are just thoughts in our head, yet we make them FEEL real in the present when we focus on them..

Actually there exists crystal clear “present moment worries” in our life. Just the common preaching in the public doesn’t care about that. For example while we are driving on road, we supposed to be conscious about present worries such as other vehicle’s interference. This can’t be segregated to the past or future – it is just a present worry and there are many of such we face in daily life. This is very basic observation and that’s why the quotes like “not worrying about past and future are key to happiness” is not honest and least applicable in practical works.

Haha agreed! Look you can’t be 100% in the present all the time, otherwise we wouldn’t survive, you’d probably get hit crossing the road by a bus, because you never bothered to check for traffic But I’m just saying being more in the present, is what life is about.. because life only exists in the present – sometimes we forget this when we living in thoughts about the future too much, then life seems like hard work, and then we appreciate the present less – this is where stress comes from, because our thoughts are against our natural state of being happy in the present, and our body is reacting to it.

Environment is factor, but again you can be happy with nothing, its just a state of mind really. If you can control your thoughts, to always be happy in the present, there is nothing else you need, other than stuff to survive.. right?

Well where does unhappiness come from, past regrets or future worries.. both are just thoughts in our head, yet we make them FEEL real in the present when we focus on them.. so by simply realizing thoughts aren’t real to what is happening in the present, then we will see that happiness was never something to grasp, because we had it all along, we were just thinking we didn’t have it by living in imagination which made us feel like we were missing something.

I just mean being more in the present, is being more in our natural state, because we’re flowing with life instead of controlling it with thoughts about the future that doesn’t exist in the present moment. And usually when we’re happier in the present, people respond to you more positively because you’re giving off a good energy, and then good things come your way naturally. However dreaming of the future too much, creates separation from the present, and your energy is different, so you pushing against what you want. So like if you want to be a millionaire in the future, FEEL like you are a millionaire now, and life will make it happen so you become a millionaire – in theory, it’s because you’re giving off the right energy so it has a knock on effect to how you experience life and how others respond to you.
