Formulae:
((X – minValue)/(maxValue – minValue)) * 100
Suppose we need to convert 14 – 100 as 0% – 100%

X may be any input from 14 to 100, and the calculation is
((X – 14)/(100 – 14)) * 100
This might be usefull in scrollBar calculations or when we want to restrict size of Image and so on.

We can iterate through each items in an Object using For each loop or For in loop.
But the For each can be used only when we need the value of an object not the key, loop is bit fast than for in.
Using for in loop we can get the value, key pair of an object.
Sample For in loop:

for(var item:* in object)
trace(item,object[item]);
Sample For each loop:

for(var item:* in object)
trace(item);
Note: Above outputs only the value not the Object key.

mx_internal is a way to access variables that are hidden but available to use for developers.
we can use the variables in the code before that we need to import.
import mx.core.mx_internal;
