ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicate MCs And PLace Randomly
Apr 16, 2009
I want to attach a mc from the library, then duplicate it 2-3 times, and have the duplicates start in random _x / _y locations on the stage. They then slowly drift across stage.The code I've got so far loads the mc from the library, duplicates it once, and places it randomly. But it only creates one duplicate instead of 2 or 3. And I suspect it could be simplified.So I need corrected code to create 2 or 3 duplicates, and have them start randomly and move at the same speed across stage. Maybe advice on how to allow them to move at different speeds would be useful as well.[code]

I'm trying to place my mc's at a different position each time the game starts but within a certain area. I've used random before...
random(300);
...but I want it to be randomly between the coords
_x 150 and 450
_y 250 and 350

Let's say i've got a tree that's coming at me... I can dodge the tree on my bike but if I hit the tree I get a cuncussion...
how would I be able to randomly duplicate the tree along _x?
I figured I would just create one movieClip and has an animation if the tree moving down (simulating it coming towards me), but I know I can do that motion through action script...

I want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}

I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.

Is there anyway to randomly place a MovieClip/Sprite on an irregularly shaped object?For a rectangle, it seems pretty straightforward (i.e. use Math.random with the range being the coordinates of an object)...but what if say, you would like to avoid placing objects in the center?

I have a 100 x 60 rectangle movieclip and I want to duplicate it n times (n is an arbitrary value taken from XML) and place the newly created movieclips in a grid.
The grid will have an arbitrary number of cols / rows, as these values are taken from XML too.
I'm using a for loop to place the movieclips horizontally, but I have no clue how to create a new row once the desired amount of movieclips have been placed horizontally, and so forth until the maximum (n) number of movieclips have been placed on the stage.
Here's my script so far:
ActionScript Code:
var n:Number = 28;//Maximum number of movieclips - this value is actually taken from XML

I have four dynamic text field created at the authoring time in Frame-4. I just need them to be placed randomly every time when I come from Frame3. I have known that there is a Math Class which generates random numbers which would be an effective way. how do I proceed ahead i.e shall I create an array and seed it with the their current positions etc etc

How to make this smoke effect work without mouse input. I am trying to have it spill from the end of a cannon, & my attempts to modify the position have resulted in all my bitmaps shifting. I changed this

To this

how can we place hundreds of instances of one movieclip on different place?
for exemple, pacman:
how should i code the placement of all the money?
i would go:
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
but that's not the good solution is it?
there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.

My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I am having problems dupliating a movie clip. I can make a duplicate from an original but when I edit the duplicate it also modifies what is in the original. (I am just changing the text, thats the only difference between the 2) How come it effects both clips when I only change one?

URL...that has videos in the work section (click work, then the tv icon or the radio icon at the bottom of the page) that will randomly not load.THe weird thing is that the files have never moved, and yet, the same computer on the same ISP using the same browser that could view the videos 2 days prior, suddenly cannot.I'm also having an issue where the flash won't even load on startup randomly.This had happened one time in the past, and I took the page from a test area of the site and put it live, and it solved the problem. So my last ditch plan z is to make a mirror to link to in case the videos aren't loading for a user.

I have a movie clip divided into three scetions. The first section starts on frame 6, the next on frame 11 and the last on frame 16. Is there a way to get flash to choose randomly between only those frames (6,11,16)and not the frames in between(1-5,7-10,12-15)?

I need to call external SWF's so they randomly appear within my main SWF. When one ends, the next will start and so on. I searched the forum and found a thread with the code below and have run in to an issue.
Each of the external clips is set up exactly the same... same length, same tweens, etc.
The code below is sitting the first frame, on the top layer within my main SWF:
randomClips = new Array ("Journey.swf", "Doobies.swf", "LedZep1.swf", "PinkFloyd1.swf", "Stones.swf");
function randomBackground() {
[Code].....
The main movie is one frame long and has three layers. The top layer has the Action Script (above), the bottom layer has my background image, and the middle layer holds the empty movie clip named mtClip
When loaded to the server, the movie plays and one of the external SWF's will load. When it ends, I need one of the other SWF's to load. What happens is that rather than randomly playing one of the other SWF's, it repeats the original external SWF. If I refresh the main SWF, it randomly selects one of the external SWF's and it will constantly repeat.
The external SWF's have no Action Script. I tried it with putting a Stop on the last frame, but that didn't help.
