I have a clip in the library with the linkage ShootingStar, and I need this to be randomly placed all over the stage at intervals of between 0.1 and 1 second, as well as random sizes between 100% and 300%. And having a random tint to it.
View 2 Replieshas anybody seen somewhere a FLASH model of the Texas Star IPSC shooting target? What this target is and how it behaves can be seen in here: [URL] From physic's viewpoint this is a pendulum with mass and the length changing while it is swinging

View 1 RepliesMy goal here is to place this movie clip randomly along the x axis, play it and then repeat. This is what I've got so far:[code]It places the movie clip at random location every time a new frame is played but I want it to play the whole movie clip and then replace it.

View 1 RepliesAnyway, I'm looking to create a star object that flickers or blinks at random intervals. The object will also be part of a menu system and may need to perform other functions, so, I may need to roll my own class eventually.
Here is how I initally went about it:
Code: Select allfunction myRandom() {
var r:Number = (Math.random());

well in my fla i have a movieclip exported with class name Star and in my Star.as file i have this code:
package { public class Star {
public function Star() {
this.visible = false;
}
}
i tried putting movieclip on and off stage but didnt work all i want to do is control my class Star in my fla. Im very new to OOP and trying to get the gist of how to control objects like the way you could by instances like i used to :/
I'm using this code for tweening:
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,
ActionScript Code:
//var myColor:ColorTransform = this.transform.colorTransform;
//myColor.color = Math.random()*0xFFFFFF;
//star.transform.colorTransform = myColor;
, the flash doesn't happen. Is it a visual effect that causes it to look like it's flashing or is it really?
I need to have an object randomly appear on the stage, but only controlling the "y" to be random, "x" is not needed.
View 2 RepliesI have an array with 8 items, and I want them to be randomly placed on the stage with each load, or when a "shuffle" button is pressed. Just a simple puzzle where the pieces are to be scrambled and then dragged and dropped by the user.Current code that isn't working:
Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
myArray[0] = puzzle1;

It is a simple matter to place your object in a random place on the stage and not have it hanging over the edge, like so:[code]But for some reason I am having great difficulty coming up with a solution to how the random placement might work once the object has been rotated. and the registration point is no longer in the global upper-left corner. This might be easy if the rotation was a fixed # but I am rotating randomly along the whole spectrum.
View 0 RepliesI need to randomly position identical symbols in a movie - I have found a way I can do it in the main timeline using this code:
n = 10;
while (n>0) {
duplicateMovieClip ("/r1", n, n);
n = n-1;
[Code]....
The problem is that the _x and _y parameters only seem to work in the main timeline, and I need the whole thing to be self-contained inside a movie clip, so that I can easily paste it into other Flash movies (about 75 of them). Is it possible to specify a random location inside a MC?
I have to design a game for a school project that I have to redo to pass my year, but so far I have encountered several problems. My game is for children from 6 to 8 years old, so the game has to have a lot of sound (voice recordings) to explain the menus and the stuff they have to do.

I bought a flash file the other day which i plan to modify and use for an intro to a project i am working on. Currently there is one instance of a Star which follows a path and emits "sparkles" while tracing the path. I would like to add two more stars/ paths.

When you make a movie clip, and have it open, does it have a physical 'place' on your pasteboard or main timeline?
For instance, when I test my 'scene' (as opposed to movie) my clip will be out of whack and off to the side of my movie viewer.
Then when I place the clip in my main timeline, i have to monkey around with it to get it to line up. I get a circle and a blue line at the top, but not sure what that space corresponds to.
Is there a good tut out there for movie clip creation and placement? It feels really sloppy the way Im doing it.
Still plugging away, but I've run up against a problem that seems like it should be easy to fix, if I only knew how. Made a hairline for use in drawing lines with attachMovie(). Wanted to test it by making a "crosshair" at (100,100). You'd think:

Flex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

I'm trying to create a linkage to swap movie clip dynamically. I already create a linkage and after my movie clip symbol actuall say Export: contact_idea. But when I try to attachMovie("contact_idea"). It does nothing. Is there anyway that I can test that the linkage is actuall linked?

View 3 RepliesI have a problem with loading SWF and access to their elements by class linkage in Adobe AIR 2.6 for Android.
Problem: I have two different .swf files:
file1.swf (in which MovieClip with name1 has class linkage 'mainScreen')
file2.swf (in which MovieClip with name2 has class linkage 'mainScreen')
They have some action script code, which I need to import in my application domain. Files downloading great. After downloading they are in differen app domains But when I'm getting elements by class linkage and add them to stage - only element which was loaded second is shown. Looks like second movieclip with same class linkage replaces the first one.
For this I'm using such approach:
how can I load two different elements SWF files, which have elements with same class linkage, or explain why I can not do this? When elements have different class linkages - all OK. But!!! It is working for web, but for air it don't want to work.

i am trying to draw continues line one point to another by mouse click , and each points there will be a round shape(using linkage library method) with the mouse click .the lines all are removed by this (_root.newgrid1.clear()) method.the problem is that i was only able to remove one round shape from the stage using remove movie clip method,ow can i remove all the attached movie by the reset button from newgrid2?

I am having referencing a linked movieclip.
I have a scroll pane with the instance name menuScroll. The scrollPane loads a linked movie clip called menuDropMC with the same instance name. MenuDropMC also loads several instances of a linked movie clip called moduleNameMC with the same instance name. The moduleNameMC contains a button called moduleBtn. I am trying to disable this button from root.
The moduleNameMCs are generated dynamically and are followed by a number using a for loop.("moduleNameMC"+i)
e.g. moduleNameMC0, moduleNameMC1, moduleNameMC2, etc.
I have tried the following:
_root.menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBt n.enabled = false;
menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enab led = false;
menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;
moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;

View 1 RepliesI have 5 boxes on the stage as movie clips, each one with the same animation waiting to be targeted. What I need is a random script that will make them play in "random" order. This should occur after a few seconds of inactivity where they each play, but once there's mouse movement, whichever ones did animate should "reset" or play back to their original positions, (assuming there's more boxes and there's movement before all of them play). I have some code in there for arrays and some random script that isn't working right now. I just need the random setup, really. I may be able to figure out the time delay, (maybe), and then be able to tweak the rest of it for how I need. Right now, I've just simplified everything in a 5 box example hoping someone might be able to work with what I have.

View 1 RepliesI have a textbox where there should be a 1 to 5 star classification for a movie, so I used the star symbol (character code 0xAB) from the Wingdings Symbol Font. But instead of the stars, What I get is double angular quotes in Arial, the corresponding character in a normal text font: «
In fact, every Wingding character above 0x80 (included) is displayed in Arial instead of Wingdings. This also seems to happen with all Symbol fonts.
I've also made Wingdings into a font symbol but the problem still happens. It also happens in static text boxes.
To reproduce the error just make a text box and set the font to Wingdings. Now type something and it shows in Wingdings but press ALT+0171 (or copy the star from the Character Map app) and instead of a star, you get double angular quotes.
