I am trying to write a function that is passed an array and will then reorder it randomly and return the array. My problem is that as the position is generated randomly I dont know how long the loop must run for, this function doesn't work but it should give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
[AS]
function randomise(the_ar:Array):Array {
var ret_ar:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<200; i++) {

I have 2 arrays that contain the same values but in a different order. i'd like to reorder the first array like the second one but i have no ideas how to do that easily.
View 2 Replieshow to reorder my Array by the Z coordinate now I want to add an event to animate it. I want my shapes to move from their position on the stage out of vision with the vanishing point at the bottom of the stage. I hope this makes sense its kind of hard to explain but heres the code I have to reorder my array by Z.
Code:
package {

the code below loads only the second member of the "koan" array. why it isn't randomly loading swfs? (Could it be a problem with the "var index"?...when it is changed manually in the code from 0 to another number the swf played does change; but still not randomly.)

I have an issue where I would like to remove a sprite randomly in AS3, I have managed to figure out how to create the sprites so that they fill as a grid, just for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove them!Here's the code i've used to create them:
function showpixels() : void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 40; i++)

View 1 Repliesis it possible to have an array of words, and then, with another set of code, to have those words randomly animating (perhaps from the distance, to closer up, like a zooming non-blurred effect) on the stage?

I understand how Math.random works, and I understand how Arrays work, but I don't understand how to either rearrange the indices of an existing Array, or how to populate it from another Array in a random sequence without an index possibly repeating.

I'm building a portfolio site and I've renamed the secenes and reordered them but when I test the movie it defaults to what was originally scene 1. I'm working in AS2. If the mods will allow the web site is [URL]. There is an intro page which was scene 6 which is now renamed "intro" and draggd to the top of the pile but it doesnt show when I preview or upload.
View 2 RepliesI'm would like to use the UILoader to randomly load an image from an array according to the day of the week. The attached FLA file is in AS2, it is exactly what I would like to do but now in AS3. I've been able to successfully trace the date using:
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());
In AS2 I used this the loadMovie function to randomly display SWF's in the movieClip. From what I can tell loadMovie is not an option in AS3 making me think that using the UILoader may be a good solution.This is what my code looks like in AS2 (also attached the FLA file):
loadShow = function() {
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());[code]....
Is there some basic AS3 code to have, when the swf loads, a single video play from a collection of videos in an array? And can said code also apply to sound without video?I just found out the tutorial I was using to randomize doesn't work with audio - as it just plays everything at once - you might 'see' one video - but you hear all them. So from what I am reading, I need to us an array (that seems simple enough), but I don't want to play all the clips - I want it to randomly select and play one. Not sure exactly how I set up the video playback area (so the video plays where I want, at the size I want).Also, I have other pages that are just audio - does audio need some sort of player or something for this?
View 6 RepliesI want to create an array of loaded xml for the following:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlQuestions:XML = new XML();

What I want to achieve is so I can load 5 different xmls and place them into an array. All 5 random xmls will be placed in an array then I wish to trace them
Let's say I wanted to randomly remove an item from an array in a for loop.
Basically, it would go something like;
thearray = ["lol", "dude", "ROFL", "lame", "excellent"]
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
randomness = random(thearray.length())
thearray.remove [randomness]
}
Obviously that last line was made up, that's where the code goes for the item-removal.

I have a little trouble in managing the children my container. The fact is that it has a lot of children and their y coordinates are very random.

I am loading a master XML file and then trying to break it down into sections
Here's my XML file:
Code:
<listarray>
<items>
<entry type="ecard" num="2">
[Code]....
So I was able to create a new array that contains only entries with the attribute "ecard" in them, but now I want to re-order that array into numerical order based on the attribute "num" so that it lists as Ecard 1, Ecard 2, Ecard 3 in the XML. How would I go about re-ordering the new array I've created?

I found this code online. it is for a image gallery that fades in and out as it transition from one image to the next.. the images are load through an array command... it loads the first image, etc.... what I wanted to know is where should i put a Math.floor(Math.random()*this.pic_arr.length); in the string of code... to make the gallery start randomly in the array and then continue onto the next image... also, for some reason, there is not a common directory for all the images, like this script:

I am unable to find if the spark DataGrid supports moving / reordering the columns. If not what could be the best solution? Maybe using the mx version?
I want the user to be able to drag the columns and arrange them.
I have a control which contains many child elements (about 1000), and I need to sort them.Now I doing that like this:
_elements.sortOn(...);
for (var i: int = 0; i < _elements.length; i++) {
setItemIndex(_childItems[_elements[i].id], i);
}
_childElement - object that contains UI-child elements, which i need to sort (key of the dictionary is an identifier from data-object
_elements - array contains data-objects
But this is too slow! How to reorder the childs by my criteria as fast as possible?
I am making a horizontal list that I want to be able to drag each item around to reorder the list. When one clip is dragged over another I want the one under it to move left or right to fill in the empty space left by the clip being dragged. I cannot seem to figure out how to tell which movieclip is touching or "under" the movieclip currently being dragged around. It seems that the hitTestObject method need explicity instance names to work. In summary, I want to know the instance name of any display object that the dragging moveclip touches.

Is there a way using flash you can display images but each one selected randomly from say an array of different images?
View 4 RepliesURL...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.
