ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Random Number Every Three Seconds?
Oct 5, 2009
I have the below code used to create a random number every 3 seconds and then have the timeline go whatever numbered frame the random number comes to. It works. However when I trace the randNum, I see that it is generating more and more random numbers during the interval. For ex, first it generates one random number every 3 seconds... but then it starts generating more than one per every 3 seconds. how can this be? Isn't the function supposed to run once every 3 seconds?
I want to change the code a little bit by creating an Input Text. A random number will be typed in that text instead of having a fixed, pre-set number.
So, I'm just starting a bigger AS3 project. I'm still learning AS3, transitioning from AS2 and I keep getting caught up on dumb stuff. I'm creating two variables to store a maximum and minimum value for a random number generator. Here's my code.
Dear Guys I Want To Generate A Random Number Between 2 Number BUT Without Generating 2 Same Number I Mean If For Example Already Generated Number "2" Next Time Did Not Generate It , Is There Any Solution

I'm trying to create a shuffle button for my mp3 player. I don't want it to repeat any song in the xml playlist until all the songs are played. Is there to display a random number on the click of a button, without repeating any number in the array until all the numbers in the array are used?
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 creating a flash animation using flashEFF animation components. The animation isn't looping like it's supposed to be at the end of the animation, so I would like to hard-code a replay after 20 seconds. How would I use AS3 to loop reset to the beginning after 30 seconds?
basically, what it does is when i click, a block box (textholder), fades in, then after a few seconds (in this case, 2), it fades out again.. it works fine on the first click, but after more clicks, the interval duration seems to be getting smaller, up to a point where it is zero, and nothing happens.
and I need to use another setInterval() function (to call the changeTxt() function), will that affect the setInterval function i have up there now? i've linked an swf, to better show what i mean. [URL]
I use FlashMX and made a basic flash movie with one movie clip. (movie clip contains frame by frame animation using images rendered at AE) How can I make the movie clip stop after a specified number of seconds? Client wants to be able to change the seconds when needed. So a text file along with swf file including number of seconds...?

i have a project and i need that when a specific variable equals a specific value a random number decreases on the current number, its easy to make it decrease but i need to decrease instead of 4 to decrease a maximun of 5 and minimun of 3.ere is the code :
supposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do... how i should go about this...
ActionScript Code: var randomXPosition:int; var randomYPosition:int; var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..
The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
URL...I have created an animation which has the bird fly up & chirp, and would like to replace all the birds with this.For now I have replaced all buttons w/ the animation on stage and they all lie on the 1st frame. But thats kinda not what I want.How can I get any one bird animation to play, one at a time, at a random interval of 15-45 seconds?
I have code that I got off line that will create a random number in the output tab. I put together an if else statement, however I can not figure out what how to call the random number into the if else statement. My last try was calling "n," However that did not work. I have a bit of the code that I am working with. I am giving only the first 3 but there are 13 in total, but as they are all the same just going to different frames I thought that it was not necessary to show them all.
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number { var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min; return randomNum;
[code]...
If there is an easier way to get the same thing I am open. I just want it to start on a specific random frame (13 of them).
I have tried to create 'simple' (!) application where a user enters a 2 digit number in a input text box with instance named 'calc_num', clicks a button named 'cplay_btn' and a random number of the movieclip 'bf_mc' appears on the stage, between 1 and the number in the input box. I have tried numeous ways of writing the script., of which the example below is the most simple:
