mimshwright / limit.as

Created March 6, 2011 02:03

A shortcut function for limiting a value between a lower and upper boundary. I use this all the time.

	/**
	* Global function for returning a number within an upper and lower limit.
	*
	* @param value The number to limit
	* @param lowLimit The lowest value that will be returned.
	* @param highLimit The highest value that will be returned.
	* @return value if lowLimit < value < highLimit, otherwise returns the lowLimit or highLimit.
