eg. i was had to use moduli 26, and i didn’t have a calculator nearby, so i grabbed my laptop and scripted up some code and it works for negatives too

\\variable is set to as ans1, inputtext is the text box
\\26 is what you would use as the “% 26″
\\Math.floor rounds the answer down to an integer
ans1 = Math.floor(inputtext / 26);
\\answer is a textbox set to display the answer
answer = num1 – (ans1 * 26);

Hope this helps someone.

When any number (dividend) is divided by another number (divisor), modulo tells you what the remainder is. So modulo can be used with any divisor, not just the number 2. For example, I might want to know if a number is exactly divisible by 7:
someNumber: Number = 39;
if (someNumber % 7 ==0){
trace (“It’s exactly divisible by 7!”);
} else {
trace (“There’s a remainder of ” + someNumber % 7);
}

Let’s say you design a game and you want to ring a bell every 10 points. Each time the player scores, you could use modulo to determine if the new score is exactly divisible by 10, in which case you’d ring the bell.
