I've got 2 arrays that I want to randomize together. So if array one (1,2,3,4,5) is randomized to be (5,2,3,4,1), how can I have the second array randomize to that order?[code]how can I say "make the xArray correspond with the random order of the zArray" with AS?
View 8 RepliesI am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.
View 5 RepliesWhat i need to do is to randomize the variable named: randomCard if randomCard doesnt equal any value of myCards array. (randomize again if the value of randomCard isnt in the myCards array)
obviously youll notice that in this part of the code: while (randomCard != myCards); myCards isnt correctly defined
Code:
private var myCards:Array = [0,2,4];
do {
randomCard = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);

View 6 RepliesI'm using this code I obtained from a tutorial to run an mp3 player that reads an .xml playlist. Could someone please tell me what I'd need to add/change to the code so that it plays the tracks in a random order each time the player loads - I'm not concerned about omitting repeats. I've tried adding a "random" command to the Array that holds the tracks but this didn't work.

I need to make an animation in which you are shown 5 doors. if clicked, 4 of the doors will make the screen fade out, and a message that says congratulations will pop up. however, 1 of the 5 doors will make a tiger jump out if it is clicked.however, the door that the tiger should be assigned randomly.

Does anyone know if it is possible to randomize assets in Flash. Basically I am creating a flash based application which when the user hits a target button the preceeding screen should show a completely random asset (which would be an SWF), at the moment each button is simply tagged to a particular swf, although i need it to be more random than this?

I am working on a flash game that has 'waves' of soldiers kind of like the game Weapon.
what I am trying to do is randomize and array I have which contains strings[code]...
I think this is possible, but I'm not sure how it would be done. I have a flash website under construction that i am building using CS4. The background was made with Poser 8, as well as most of the content. What I have is 7 flames that flicker. The flames are one MovieClip that I have placed on the stage as 7 instances. I think the flame looks great, but 7 of them all flickering exactly the same looks silly. The clip is 10 frames that loop. So...
1) could I use AS to load and play the clip starting at different frames? like instance 1 starts on frame 1, instance 2 starts at frame 5 etc, so that none flicker exactly the same?

I am loading data in via xml and when doing a for loop to iterate through instead of showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ect... how can i randomize for [i] ? If i do it in the for loop it keeps doing the randomizing and gets stuck and if after things are already loaded. how is it done?
It appears the same rotation for every branch. Is this not the correct way to randomize a loop?
Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<branchAmount; i++) {
branch.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x333333,1);
branch.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
branch.graphics.lineTo(0,-50);
branch.x=trunks.x;
branch.y=trunks.y;
branch.rotation=Math.floor(Math.random()*160)-90;
branchArray.push(branch);
addChild(branch);

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.
A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );
[code].......
I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.
View 7 Repliescorrect syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.
I've made some code that loads a line from a text file as a string and puts it into a dynamic field. What I want to do is randomize the letters of the string, but I can't seem to find any functions that do so. Anyone have an idea as to how you do this?

I've been working on this sort of sunset-like sequence inFlash. I've created a movie clip of a star that has a sort oftwinkle animation. It consists of 3 layers. What I want to do israndomize this animation so I can use the symbol spray tool to fillmy sky with twinkling stars. If I just to a "gotoAndPlay" repeat,they all twinkle at the same time, and this looks pretty stupid. My limited knowledge and experience with Actionscript tellsme that I need to define the animation as a function and use somesort of math randomizer to control when it plays?
View 2 RepliesI want to randomly scramble 4 multiple choice buttons (assigning each of them to one of four different positions). I'm trying to (a) randomly extract an element from an array, (b) delete that element from the array, and (c) go through the same process 3 more times till I have 4 random numbers assigned to 4 separate variables. I should be able to assign the buttons to different positions after that.
Here's the first round of what could loosely be called code:
var firstElement:Number = 0;var distList:Array = ["0", "1", "2", "3"];var distNum0:Number = 0;var distNum1:Number = 0;var distNum2:Number = 0;var distNum3:Number = 0;

I've a question to ask regarding randomization using actionscript. Given a situation where you have different designed game characters and you would like to display different characters as the player replay/restart the game. How would you go about doing so?
