FLASH: OT: a math question

[gabriel]

hi


i've got a mouse movement over a certain distance,

something like a slider, for example from 0 - 100


now i'm lookin for a formula to translate this linear values

into a nonlinear range of values,

where i can define a threshold (e.i 15 pix )

and a maximum value ( e.i. 1000 ),

so an input value < then my threshold value

gives a result < 1  ( or 0 ),

an input = mythreshold results in mythreshold

and an input of for example 100 results in my maxvalue ( e.i. 1000 )


is there a common formula for this ?


did you understand what i'm talking about ?

(dit I understand waht i'm talking about ??)


thanks
