static min(x:Number, y:Number) :
Number
Evaluates x and y and returns the smaller
value.
static pow(x:Number, y:Number) :
Number
Computes and returns x to the power of y.
static random() : Number Returns a pseudo-random number n, where 0
<= n < 1.
static round(x:Number) : Number Rounds the value of the parameter x up or
