I would like to randomly generate clouds, so that they go across the screen. I was wandering if anyone could help me with some code? that i would put in the actionscript?
View 2 RepliesI might not even be approaching this the right way, but I'm trying to make a game where a ship flies through randomly generated tunnels. I'm very new at this, but I felt my question was a bit too advanced for the "Programming Beginners" section.So, what I came up with was two black vertical rectangles, ~50 px wide, ~300 px high and ~100 px apart vertically, as one movie clip. I want this clip to be duplicated infinitely, stacked to the right of eachother, and shifted by a random number between 0-10 pixels up or down.This is the code I used to create just one copy of the walls, hoping it would shift over to x=140:
Code:
for (var i=0; i<200; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("walls", "walls_copy", 1 );

Does anyone know if there is a way to randomly generate trig functions (sin, cos, tan). I am trying to make poblems using these functions. The examples that I see are automatically assigning values to these functions however I want to randomly generate. Example from flash 8 help feature[code]...

View 3 RepliesBasically I need the "image" of fast changing numbers. I am planning on having a series of these in a line, sort of like the matrix (how the numbers change repeatedly). I want them to basically generate the numbers 0-9 over and over pretty fast (sort of like milliseconds on a stopwatch), until I have them fade out.
View 3 RepliesI am encountering a strange problem. I am trying to generate a matrix with value of elements either 1 or 0 (filled randomly). I am storing the values into a 2D array. This is code on the first frame. Everything seems to be working fine.

how would you go about creating a random equation? i would like to randomly generate two individual numbers, a random operator (out of +, -, *, /) between these numbers and then the user would input a number to answer the equation... any thoughts on this?

View 1 RepliesI am working on a project, and I'm planning to make a flash lava lamp.I am currently working on the "giving heat to the blobs" part of the project.Currently it looks something like this:Link
[code]...
In the next part of the project I will generate some randomly shaped blobs of liquid and place them in a movie.And then they will find out the amount of yellow inside to get the average "temperature" of the blob, and then the upwards acceleration of the blobs will be determined. So if the blob is relatively hot, it will flow upwards, if it's low, it will flow downwards. As it gets higher, the blob will lose some heat. Touching another blob will exchange some heat and other lava-lamp'ish stuff will happen.Do you think I should do it with pixels? (like above) or do you think I should use "normal flash stuff" ? (By that I mean using movieclips, etc)Is my method of displaying "heat" good? Or could I use another way?
I am making a game in Flash CS4 (actionscript 3) and I would like to be able to make "copies" of an instance that would randomly appear at the top of the screen and fall. For example, multiple objects(that are the same one) are falling from the top of the screen continuously, starting at random X positions. (i think this would be considered Real-Time effect).

I want the clouds to be moving transparent above the image. I also want the clouds to stretch the length of the image 1024x300. The problem is that the clouds don't generate when I remove the code for the background in the .fla file. See attached file and code below.

var posX:Number=50;
var posY:Number=20;

Is it possible to make scrolling clouds with Flash, jQuery or JavaScript? If yes, could you please give me code, that I would need to insert in homepage?
I got 3 small cloud images, and I need to make them move on the background, they should be under content, but over body, for example I got content (margin: 0 auto; (in middle) where text is located e.c.), and body image (sky and grass on the ground), the clouds should fly horizontally, is that possible to make?
I'm making a very simple Flash game which is just somewhat of a training project for myself. All it involves is clicking a button which takes away a random bit of health from an opponent, and I'm quite proud of myself for figuring out how to subtract the random number hit away from his total health and show the resulting number above his head. (lol i fail)But my problem has nothing to do with actionscript, it's my cloud layer which I've motion tweened across 150 frames inside the "cloud" movieclip. All the clouds do is slowly move across the stage (I created the cloud movieclip to where it doesn't jump back to it's original form when the 150 frames are done, so it looks like one continuous cloud scene). Whenever I test the project, it goes at about 5 fps, which is very slow (supposed to be at 30 fps).I know it's the clouds that caused the laggyness because I temporarily removed them and it goes just like normal.

Onmy stage I have a MC, and when I click it a random MC from the Library should appear and move around randomly.
I'm using this to make it move around randomly [URL]
how to make the random MCs appear from the library. And should I put the random moving script on each of my ten MC?
I created an animation for my website's background which you see the clouds moving slowly in the background. And I copied that MC through all the scenes (Preloader, Intro, Main , About, Works and Contact) The problem is whenever I press in the menu buttons which take me to a new scene of a new page the Background Mc starts all over again and then there is a "bug" and a delay in the background.. You can see it here: [URL]just press on on of the menu button and see the background. How can it be solved?
View 7 RepliesIn the past I have created a php file that generates the XML and then referenced it in place of the xml file and it has worked. I am trying this with a precompiled flash app and it is not working.
It works if I run the script, save it and then reference that file to the swf. I would rather not generate a file to the filesystem if possible. Anyone any solutions?
I'm working on the UI for a project. I have a question that hopefully is rather simple. But my whole project hinges on whether or not it's possible, so it's important to me.
generate a .swf from another .swf. Let's say I have a .swf that I export from Flash, and it lets the user choose a number of settings for a piece of generative art, and once they've customized it to their liking, can they then click a button that says "save as a .swf"?
Is it possible to have some server-side tech create a custom PDF based on variables entered into a flash app on a website?
I have a simple survey built in flash and I want to give users who fill it out the option of receiving a pdf that tells gives them their answers to their questions and an analysis based on those answers.
a very simple, basic question (unfortunetely I forgot this): how can you generate markers in flash?, in a frame in the timeline.

Is it possible to generate multiple thumbnails from a FLV using only as3? The flv is on the same server as the swf so I'm not using any dedicated streaming server. I'd imagine that as long as the flv has load the video you'd be able to pull bitmapdata from a specific time of the flv. My idea is to pull around 8 images from every flv, convert them to buttons and use them as links to specific chapters in the flv. If this is not possible, would it work better with a dedicated streaming server like red5?
Edit: I'd also like to know how to do it if it's possible :) The idea is to not use the server. The thumbnails will only be used within the swif, so no saving to another location.
I am trying to create an image gallery similar to Androids "Gallery" where it is a horizontal scrolling list of images. I am doing this with an HBox and Bitmap objects wrapped in a UIComponent. The problem is I am trying to do this for mobile and having many full size images open in memory causes problems. I have been trying to have the images load right as they are scrolling into view and unload once they are out of view, but the loading/unloading while scrolling requires too much cpu and causes a very choppy and poor UI. What I am looking to do is be able to load several low quality versions of the images in memory so I dont have to do as much loading/unloading. I have tried decreasing the height/width but it dosnt seem to have an effect on memory usage.
