ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 LevTextSpace Random Colour
Sep 21, 2010
I'm currently adapting the flash file "levTextSpace" from [URL]. Everythings working fine except for one teensy weensy little problemette. I want to be able to assign a random colour to each word as it appears on stage. The generic code I have for this is:
var myColor = Math.round(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF);
myRdmColor = new Color ("target");
myRdnColor.setRGB(myColor);
"target" being the name of a movieclip. I'm assuming I need to apply this to each instance as it's created but anything I try either doesn't work at all or crashes. I'm completely stuck, I'm sure it can't be that difficult but after several days ny head hurts.
i've a movie clip (e.g. scroll_text) which is consist of 5 words (each word is an individual movie clip). an instance of 'scroll_text' movie clip placed in the main timeline with the following script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { _x -= 30; if (_x<=-2247) {
ActionScript Code: var myTween:Tween = new Tween(star, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 0.9, 3, true);
And I also have some extra code that spawns stars all over the place.If you view my swf, http:[url]...., you can notice that the stars appear to 'flash' first before settling down.I'm simply wondering if this is some problem of the Tween class or if I set something wrong. Something I found odd was when I removed my code that generated a random colour for my star,
I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
I am parsing colour codes that I get from a Flex(Flash ActionScript) application, then creating HTML div elements with that same colour. My Problem: The colours are all only 8 digits long. So they cant be RGB colour values can they? What color value format are they in? If I can figure the format they are in I can convert them to RGB. Maybe the last/first digit signifies its 0. alpha value?
PS: Should I convert the colours to RGB or something else?
This is an example of the colour code values I getting from the flash application:
i have a background and i want to be able to change the colours of it using a colour picker... if the MC was to cover the whole stage... how could i then get a colour picker and make it so it would change to whatever colour i wanted from the colour picker?
I need to change all the elements in my movie that have the color X and change their color to color Y. Is it possible to have this in AS? like, if i press one button all the elements that have the color black (graphic, text, background, etc) change their color to yellow?
I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
What I want is for my mc to slide to a new random x position when it is less than 5 pixels away from its target, it keeps doing this. the problem is for some bloody &*�$(()** reason my random numbers only keep going up!! why is this?? i want to produce random numbers between 1 and 770 - this is my code..
I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
I have a picture on the stage covered by 12 squares (sq1, sq2, sq3.......sq12) When the movie opens I want the squares to move down, but i want a random sequence ( 3, 9, 2, 12...........8). I already made de function for the movement:
im playing with the load random movie (but loading a random xml file instead) based on the wonderful tutorial from front page and was wondering whether anyone can show me the work around/upgrade to AS2 for this bit of script since im publishing to Flash 8 /AS2 and it doesnt work:
Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
I am now using the code for my background image which will rotate when you enter a new gallery.I can't get it to randomize.[code]I have tried adding: Math.floor(Math.random() * total); and it almost works. It seems everytime the last node is called it stops working (also at other random times, haven't found a pattern).
I dont want to tween the colour just set it something like Code: bgimg_mc._colour = #ffffff I know that's not how to do it but you get what I mean from that.
I am trying to implement a random slideshow type thing which would be fine if all of the images were in the one folder, but i want to randomly display them from multiple folders... if I define each path as a variable, is that the easiest way?
ActionScript Code: var pathaURL:String = "folder1/slideshow/"; var pathbURL:String = "folder2/slideshow/"; var pathcURL:String = "folder3/slideshow/";
and then somehow implement the randomness with the image variable...?
I'd like the tutorial on randomly loading images to go one step further...Anyone know how to have the images load randomly and have a button that ALSO draws from the images randomly...?
i am a bit lost. i make a prototype function that randomly scales a box when i click on the stage. i got the scaling right, but why does it move around when it scales? here is the swf: scaleEase
here is the code: [AS]MovieClip.prototype.scaleEaseTo = function(ease) {
I am working on this piece of flash: [URL]now, what I want to do is have cars going along the roads at random speeds, or just travelling along the roads in random orders, whichever... anyways, as you can see, I am going to have a menu on the left hand side, which targets text into the scroll box on the right, and I want that to be able to happen without the movie re-starting everytime the cars finish going round, so the cars are going round and round in the background, and the layer on top is static. Will that happen automatically or not?Basically i need to know how to do random speed or random intervals, and then the layer thing.
basically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?
Code: var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3"); var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1)); if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")
I'm working on my site and I have a random background script setup. Heres the code that Im using now.[code]...
Now I love the way thats its working and but one thing that is kinda crappy is that sometimes it suffers from repeating the same background a couple of times before going to another random background. Now I know that its because the script is working properly but can anyone think of a method that I could use to make it not be able to pull up the last background that it has already loaded? I dont want to make it static because not only do I have this setup for when you enter the site but also its random when you click on one of the nav buttons because I want to try to keep my site dynamic.
