The game is already working, only missing a function to random the letters
function make_game()
{
var word_mc = createEmptyMovieClip("word_mc",1);
var words_array:Array = dica_node.split("<br>");//getting the XML values
[Code]....
I have a string value that is always 8 digits long. I need to shuffle the letters in a random sequence, for example the word actionscript must become something like ptcsacointr. The sequence of shuffling can be anything. Anyone have an idea how i can do this? Oh yes, the shuffle cannot be random. it must be a set sequence that is always used...
View 6 RepliesI am trying to implement a "card shuffle" animation using MovieClip instances on the stage. The instances are linked to the same class. From the class I am able to look at the numChildren of the parent:
trace(this.parent.numChildren);
Let's say I have three cards on the stage with these instance names: "orange_mc", "green_mc" and "blue_mc". They are all linked to a custom class I created. On a MouseEvent I would like to bring the selected card to the top depth. I know that this would do the trick:
this.parent.addChild(this);
I would like to animate the effect and it seems that to be able to do this I would need to know the depths of all the MovieClips on the stage (or at least to determine if the selected is at the top - for this, no animation would be required). I tried the following, only to get an error:
this.parent.getChildIndex(orange_mc);
and
MovieClip(this.parent).getChildIndex(orange_mc);
I am making a game where random letters and words are generated into movieclips, thats the background. I built it using arial as my font, however I then decided to go with a fixed width font to make sizing the movieclips to the words much more straightforward. Yesterday this worked fine, the font i am using (Liberation Mono) is installed on my computer, all the textboxes which use this font have the character embedding on them, and I have not changed any of the movieclips, only non-relevant code. So I run it up again today and none of the words appear. Thinking it might be some code changes I made I go thourhg tracing out everything, only to find the wrds are being generated, and written to the textbox absolutely fine. I switch back to Arial just as a check and bang it works again.

i used the Fader class to build a fade in-out slideshow and wanted to make it shuffle. While the slideshow works fine by its own, i just can�t figure the way to make it switch the images randomly. Here�s the code:
ActionScript Code:
import com.utils.Fader.*;
import com.utils.Fader.FaderItems;
import com.utils.Fader.Events.*;

Im not sure the list of added elements (all mc) on _faderItems works as an array.
i have a 5 box of movie clips on the stage then a shuffle button on the top corner.
when i click the shuffle button, the 5 movie clip will exchanges places. (X Position only)
those movie clips to shuffle each other. I have six movie clips, mcA, mcB, mcC, on top and mcD, mcE, mcF at the bottom of the stage.I want them to shuffle as follow:
mcA, mcC, mcB
mcC, mcA, mcB
mcB, mcC, mcA and so on
I have made a quiz which has 20 questions. 15 questions are asked at random. However, being at random some questions are repeated. How do I shuffle questions rather than use random?
View 4 RepliesI was looking for a way to shuffle a deck of cards last week and I was provided with some code to do so. I decided a straight shuffle would work better with my project than randomizing coordinates (as I was doing). I'm trying to implement the code, and I think I'm pretty close, but I'm running into a few snags. I'm using Shuffle.as as my document class, and another external class called Card.as to control the flipping and drag action of my cards. At the moment, I'm getting this message when I try to run the swf: 1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before Deck. I think this is indicative of an error somewhere else in my code, but I'm not sure where. Do you see anything upon first glance?

I have a 5x5 grid of 25 movieClips in total. I am trying to shuffle them all randomly, but NEVER overlap.hen they have finished shuffling I still want a 5x5 grid of 25 movies, just shuffled around.
After much frustration I have decided to seek the help of the good people of Actionscript.org. I have had the audacity to include my zipped fla - it'll make more sense what is going wrong when you can see it unfold into the chaos that has got me so frustrated.

make a classic 15 piece sliding picture puzzle. I need to shuffle the pieces in order to play the game and to do this have made an array of numbers 0 -14 and shuffled them. I then made a for loop which run 15 times using the pop method to take the last number from the array for each loop and store it in a variable shuffleVal. I have tested this and it works fine producing the 15 randomized numbers seperately, however when I try to use shuffleVal as a parameter for each Tiles boardPosition it only refers to the last value popped rather than each one from the loop. I have provided the code from my controller file .
CODE:-
import Tile;
import Jumble;
var shuffle:Array=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14];[code].....
coding a shuffle function into the following code, it doesn't even have to have a visible on/off button since i want it to be always on.

_parent._parent.balloonClose._visible = false;

I have a project and i have an issue with an idea i have. The index of the website is in html with a simple link to enter the main menu page in flash. But in the main menu i have a movie clip of a man in the center. In fact, i have 3 different images of men that i want to make appear, in a shuffle way, instead of 1. So when people visit the website, the main menu page could present 1 of the 3 pictures i chose in a random way. So a kind of shuffle every time someone log into the main menu page. So do you know what kind of code i could write to make it work ? It could be in the index page (html) or in the flash page itself ?

What I'd like to know is how to change the above array so that it would work in a text file (which would be easier for others to edit you see). I think i could divide the letters by : and then use some code to break the array apart at ':'. But I am not really sure. Can anyone give me some pointers? Also - if u have time to shuffle the array so letters appear in different boxes each time?

View 2 RepliesI'm currently doing a board game, in which you get asked questions and answer them for points. the questions get loaded from a .txt file. what I'm trying to do is that the questions appear in a random order everytime the game starts. I already have the shuffle function working, it shuffles 51 numbers (the number of questions in the game) between 51 variables, so each variable is assigned a different number and they don't repeat. My problem is that I can't figure out how to apply those numbers to the variable that get loaded from the text file. I could make many IF statements but that would be a lot of code, so I tried doing a function, but it didn't work. this is the function:

I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)

when the line of code "koan.shuffle();" is commented out swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc are loaded properly into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage, albeit not randomized. (Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf.) Why does "koan.shuffle();" not only fail to randomize the array, but, break the entire loading process? Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = Math.floor(Math.random())(ivar+1);
