ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Floating Text (in MX Or MX2004)
Oct 2, 2005
I've done a search and can't seem to find the right actionscript to add to a movieclip to make it appear as though it was just floating in place. Nothing complicated just a small random floating action where it's almost as though the letter is just sitting there in 0 gravity. Just slight enough movement to give it a little bit of interest.
I could make keyframes in a movieclip that would do this, but I'd like it to be a little bit more random than that. Plus, actionscripting the effect would lowere the file size.

I'm trying to make 4 movie clips/cycling letters for the lowercase alphabet. 3 random letters and one to stop on an indicated letter, i.e. "a" . I'm trying to make a letter recognition game for a class project, the aim is to have 3 random letters as well as the letter that was in an earlier screen pointed out.

What I want is something kind of like this:However, I don't want it to respond to the mouse at all. I just want random sized circles, on different layers, and different alpha values, floating around on their own.I could do in the timeline, with symbols and motion paths, but it wouldn't really be random at all. I thought it would be better in ActionScript.Can anyone point me in the right direction here? If I could even find a tutorial or example of creating basic random movement that would be great. I did find this:...but this isn't what I want either. I don't want 'jerky' movement. I just want them to float in random directions. That code also doesn't seem to be very flexible

Recently, I want to create four floating balloons which are tied up together with a thin core. Now, I need some AS in order to make them look like floating in air smoothlyand slowly along with a thin core. Also wanna give the ballons random scale motion as well

I have been trying to tweak the random motion tuts here. What I want to accomplish is a round motion of a clip lets say a sparkle, but I want to appear that it is floating like driven by the wind. I know this sounds crazy but is it possible?? and if yes does anyone have a snippet or a tut I can check out?

Having a problem with a little animation involving balloons floating in and then floating out again when a condition is met. There are two ways they can float in or out: from left to right, or completely randomly. I actually like it as coming in (left to right) and going out (random) but it's essentially up to the user.
Since I moved my Array sort code into the function that basically deals with telling the balloons to float off though, I've been having problems. Sometimes one or a couple of the balloons will not float off and I'm kind of boggled as to why. Because it works fine IF the Array sort part is outside this function, I'm wondering whether, when the for loop at the bottom starts running, the Array is still being sorted and that's why some balloons get left behind.

I would need to float an image (which will be the same height as one line of text) in a dynamic textield, and when the textfield is resized, the image should follow like its part of the text.(red picture is the image)Putting and img tag inside htmlText doesnt do anything.The best I could think so far (using TextLineMetrics or similar) is to leave a space, (or these dots (......) so that text doesnt collapse), and calculate where the last word before these dots is exactly from the top left of the textfield and place a movieclip on this position.

I really need to make a transparent button, so it needs to just look like floating text but with button capabilities. But I was confused about a couple things: Initially I was using the "FPushButtonSymbol" but was unable to make it transparent, although I tried like this:
[Code]...
This left some shadow though So, I utlized a post from [URL], which said to just make a square and then do Insert->Convert to Symbol and make it a button symbol. When I converted into a symbol, I also exported it for use with ActionScript. So I have been making instances of my new button (TermButt).... But can I still use generic button functionality like labeling, text fonts/colors, button size:

make a movie clip or text look like it is floating? Is it done with motion tweening or actionscripting?

I need the img_n variable below to be equal to a text value when hover_n equals different intergers.
img_n = ("i"+hover_n+"_caption");
For example, if hover_n=23, then img_n = i23_caption;
Is there a text equivalent to eval() or something that can return this value?

I want to have a segment of text can be dragged across the screen.I've tried both TextField and TextArea.The TextField is easy to format to the right font size, color, etc., but I can't figure out a way to use startDrag to move it.I can drag TextArea, but that is difficult to format and I haven't figured out how to get rid of the white text entry area.What I'm after is "free-floating" text that the user can drag to different locations on the screen.

I am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.

I'm using the following script to load a random quote from a text file:
ranQuote = new LoadVars();
ranQuote.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*25);
ran = this["quote"+RanNum];
quote_txt.text = ran;[code]..........
quote_txt.text = "The text failed to load due to an error";[ode]........
Is there a line or two that I can add to this that would prevent it from choosing the previously pick number again?I mean it can use it again, just not twice in a row.

I have been making a memory game, where words are shown to the user. Once they have memorised the words they go to the next screen where the words that they have memorised are shown. They then have to drag each word into a "correct" place and a "wrong" place. I now want to edit it so that I can use two arrays one for correct words and one for wrong words. I want to generate random words from each of these arrays. I have sort of worked out how this is possible to do but using dynamic text, but am I correct in thinking that the whole dragging the words thing is not possible with dynamic text. (I may be wrong though, I am quite new to flash).

When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

I have an image and I want to add "hot spots" so when the user rolls over the area they get 3-4 boxes that pop up to display pictures or what ever. So far I can't figure out how to change th hit area once its expanded so the hit area would be small then expand with the boxes, then rolling outside the picture areas it would close.

I'm trying to embed Flash movie (MP3 player) to HTML using SWFObject. The SWF is 30px high but when you roll over some elements, the height can go up to 100px because some elements show up. What I want to do is to have div 30px high but when I roll over particular Flash elements, then the elements that should show up are not visible. I was wondering if there is a way to allow Flash to 'float out' of the div so the taller elements become visible when rolled over the Flash movie.

I am converting my site into a fluid/floating flash site and I'm having just a couple of problems. First, when I re size the window, i need THE BROWSER to create a regular vertical (or horizontal) scrollbar when the window gets to small to display all of the information. Right now, it just cuts off my the main area of my site when the window is to small. I don't know if I disabled this in my AS3 or in my html, but I think it was the AS3
I am really new to actionscript. I am using AS3 but I found a really good floating layout tutorial for AS2, but I am not good enough at coding to translate it over. And this tutorial for AS3 [URL] seems to be the only decent floating tut I can find for AS3 but it is not in depth enough.
Here is my code.
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);
function resizeListener (e:Event):void {
trace("stageWidth: " + stage.stageWidth + " stageHeight: " + stage.stageHeight);
