I am trying to develop a maths quiz where I need to generate a random number, I then need to generate another random number but this needs to be a multiple of the first number. I just can't work out how I can generate a multiple of the first number.
View 2 Replies1) what value is seeded to Math.random() to generate the random number?
View 2 Repliesreally great job done in the forum This is my first thread here, and i would like to ask how can someone produce a random number within a complex range.In my case i want to produce a random number in the range [0,90]OR[270,359] and i can't find the way to do this using Math.random . I looked on the internet but in most cases a simple range is used like (2,40) or [4,50] etc.
View 14 RepliesI am creating a maths quiz...There are 2 input text fields..The instance names of 2 input text fields are inputField and inputField02. There is one dynamic text field to display the result....The instance name of dynamic text field is resultField.
Code:
var a: String;
var b: String;
a=inputField.text;
b=inputField02.text;
answer_btn.onRelease = function() {
resultField.text = a/b;
}
However when I press on answer button, the result displayed is NaN.
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
View 5 RepliesIm building an activity whereby I want random math questions to appear and for them to be addition, subtraction, division and multiplication with just two integers where the answer is never more than 50
so far I have
ActionScript Code:
genQuestion.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onGenerate);
function onGenerate(e:Event = null):void
[code]....
which randomly generate addition questions whereby each integer couldn't be more than 25. But this isn't right because I could also have 40 +5 and it still be under 50.
I am creating a 'word map' brainstorming chart. Basically you type an idea into a bubble, then click a button that will add a sub-bubble of that brainstormed idea. Example,I'll need to generate a random X/Y within a set of boundaries (the stage) that is determined by the parent bubble's X/Y and a maximum buffer X/Y so the bubbles are grouped nicely together.
Code:
var bnd_Left = 10;
var bnd_Top = 10;
var bnd_Right = 290;[code]....
I have my stage boundaries 300x300 stage with a 10 pixel buffer. The original bubble is at 150x150. The example above works, it will give me a random X/Y, but there is no limit of the number generated there is then no organization to it, so I need to limit the X/Y by adding the restrictions of the parentBubble X/Y as the starting point so that the bubbles will radiate out in 50 pixel increments

View 1 RepliesI have a for loop that arranges icons in rows, and I want 6 icons per row. The number of icons is variable. So I was thinking that if I can find out how to test if a number is a perfect multiple of 6 (or 7, I suppose), I could then add a line in the loop that changes the _y value of the thumb to a higher number and resets the _x value to 0, thereby creating a new line. how do you test to see if a number is round?
View 4 RepliesI have created a tween with actionscript that moves a movie clip of a cityscape along the x axis whenever the mouse is clicked.
This is my code
var skylineTween:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, skyline_mc.x,Math.floor(Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) ) + -3,2,true);
Right now it generates a random number from between -1022 and -16 (positions along the x axis).
However, sometimes the skyline movie clip only moves a few pixels and looks boring.
I added 200 pixels to the movement (Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) +200 ) and it looks better. However, sometimes this slides the movie clip past -1022 or -16 and off the stage.
How can I set the value to +200 without passing -1022 or -16?

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to play a random gallary image by making it stops at different frame every few seconds, and the actions is completely random.
The problem is, since there are only 5 different images(5 frames) I'm displaying, there is a high probability that it stays at the same frame, how do I avoid that? Like avoid staying at the same page twice, if not run the function again.

Alright,I have the MC I wanted to move everytime "A" is pressed now. But I still have one more question. Right now I have a random number generated between 1 and 10. Every time that "A" is pressed my horse (for the game) moved across the x axis in an increment between 1 and 10 (the random number). BUT the problem I'm having is that when the "A" button is pressed it loads a random number and uses that number over and over when I press the "A" button.How do I get it to load a new random number everytime "A" in pressed?
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way to convert a string containing math symbols such as +,-,*,/ and numbers. I am building a calculator.I have a string variable that I keep appending the value of the button.In the end the string looks something like this 8+3+3-4*9.I was wondering if there was a way to solve the equation just using the information in the string. I tried setting a Number to the string and I would get NaN. The hard part about this is trying to count for the math oop i.e Multiplying before adding.
View 1 RepliesI have made a quiz from mixing and matching from various tutorials of the internet, and now want to make the questions (multiple choice) and possibly the answers appear shuffled. The xml looks like this:

and here is what I've got so far with the actionscript!
This is what I got so far; I'm using Flash Cs5 to create an IPhone App, It is designed to automatically generate a trick for bmx when you click a button.. If you want to do a type of grind you would hit the "grinds" button and it would display a trick.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
