Pattern_Array (created by a random function that pulls from Words_Array and stores the index)Now I want to create another array called Choices_Array that will compare Pattern_ Array to Words_Array and not repeat any of the Pattern_Array index's in the new array.

I'm looking for a good method to compare a single bitmap data instance against an array of stored bitmap data objects. I need to figure out how I can compare and arrive at the conclusion that the result either means that the images are of the same object/aka similar or if they are two totally different images. I tried checking threshold of the result of the compare() function but my efforts have failed so far.
View 5 RepliesI want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded

Are there a good overview/comparison of Flash-authoring tools somewhere online?
By "Flash-authoring tools" I mean "Flash Builder vs. OpenLaszlo vs whatever", not Silverlight or JavaFX.
I am currently digging into the whole Flash 3D stuff and I am quite unsure which engine I should use. I really prefer haXe for development but ActionScript 3 is also fine.My current candidates are:
Papervision3D
Alternativa3D
Sandy 3D (only engine with native haXe version)
Away3D
I want to create a photo browser web widget that can be embedded in a web page (e.g alice's blog) but I am not sure whether I should go the flash or javascript route. Flickr went with a flash based widget. Why would they do it in flash over javascript? why would you chose js based widget over flash.

I have a puzzle game, in which the user can define how many pieces will the puzzle have. There are some problems in the entry validation. I pass the data in a custom event, and then check if they are numbers, if they're not, then go with the default values.
I'm getting this warning: Warning: 1098: Illogical comparison with NaN. This statement always evaluates to false.
It turns out the warning is right, even despite the traces, which (when I input letters instead of numbers), show both variables as NaN.
Code:
private function initGame(e:MenuEvent):void
{
game = new Game();
game.addEventListener(GameEvent.OVER, onGameOver, false, 0, true);

I've been trying to compare two strings. One from an input text field, input_txt, and the other a variable. For some reason, even though both trace out exactly the same, it's not seeing a match.

View 1 RepliesI'm on the brink of finishing the first iteration of my first game ever o/ and of course the last item I need to complete is the hardest. I am making a simple word game, and all details aside, the task at hand is a conditional block to determine whether the word the user has entered is real, and in order to do this I need to somehow compare it to a dictionary list.
1 hour of research has quickly opened up an entire universe of data structures, open source xml documents, people willing to take my money for spell checkers, and of course RegExp which I have no experience using (but am willing, and wanting, to learn!). One of the main problems Google is giving me is the addition of the Dictionary class in AS3, which "lets you create a dynamic collection of properties, which uses strict equality (===) for key comparison on non-primitive object keys..." So finding previous literal dictionary uses is tough.
I soon found taking a dictionary txt file (118619 lines) and converting it line by line into an array takes 3 minutes on my beast of a laptop gaming rig (Asus W90), and while I knew this was a bad idea, it was a nice learning experience (to give me a gauge of processing abilities).
I am wondering whether using XML is an appropriate alternative, or if there is a way to externally access a dictionary somewhere online. Looking at the XMLList Class available I see text() and toString() methods; yet I still see heavy iterations in accessing the dictionary.
Which brings up the next point: easiest way to find a String match. I understand that comparing each word one by one would be tedious for the program, so maybe splitting up the list by letter (or maybe string length, looking at the file), or first and last letter.
I'm loading data from XML file, and in XML file Date will format like YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2008-05-05. So in flash when I'm using getDate() it will display date like 2008-5-5 so that in comparison of date it will not compare.... I'm not able to check 2008-05-05 to 2008-5-5.
I'm getting date from following code
var tdate= new Date();
var date_str:String = (tdate.getDate()+"-"+(tdate.getMonth()+1)+"-"+tdate.getFullYear());
For some reason, I'm having a hard time finding a recent, side-by-side comparison of the various pros and cons of the different open-source flash 3D engines, such as Papervision3D, Away3D, and Sandy3D. Specifically, I'm looking for comparisons in the areas of
ease of use (and documentation) performance (framerate with lots of polygons) stability (bugs, glitches, graphical artifacts) currency (for lack of a better word - is the project gaining or losing team and community members?)
language(s) used (is it in as2, as3, flash-player-10 as3?) features (lighting and shadows, import models and animations of various formats, click detection, collision detection)
This is reasonable, right? I don't want to essentially pick one at random, only to find myself in trouble later on. Working with papervision3D, I'm already frustrated by the documentation, or the in-name-only nature thereof - most functions only have headers listed and no descriptions of what they do. Personally, I like to be able to pour through the documentation and figure out how to do whatever I want, and I feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark, having to read the source and try to understand all the implementation details. Who's used multiple open-source flash 3D platforms?

I've got the following script that loops an array of movieclips at random positions in and out of the stage using Tweener. My problem is that the loop uses all the movieclips (WELCOME00, WELCOME01, etc.) at once. What I'd like is for the loop to only use one of the movieclips, chosen at random, for the loop instead of all of the movieclips listed in the array at one time.

I'm creating a series of banners for a website. There are 3 so far with more to be made. I have made each banner as a separate swf file.The thing I would like it to do it create a randomly ordered array of the banner swf names and then load the banners in that order. Once the banners have been played or loaded through, I would l simply like it repeat that same order again.I have managed to create an array and play through that array in an ordered loop, but how do I create a random array that will do the same thing?[code]
View 1 RepliesI have problem with getting a random word from an array and the putting that word to a text field.
I setup the array for my words like this:
Code:
// a string of words
this.somewords = "wind breeze storm stormy tornado text space";
// convert the string of words into an array of words
this.wordList = new Array();
this.wordList = this.somewords.split(" ");
And I want to put randomly these words to a movieclip that I'm attaching to the stage about 50 times.

I have an Array Randomly loading images on to the stage, there is a 'splice'so no 2 images repeat. the problem is - once the images all get 'deleted' there are no more images the array can pull. I want the images to be recreated in the array.That way It will load the 29 images I have Randomly, with out repeating them and after all 29 appear it will start over again.If I remove the 'splice' I can load as many images as I want however some load twice or more before the batch is complete.
Code:
var images:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 29; i++) {
images.push("image" + i + ".jpg");[code].....
