ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Non Repeating Variables?
Apr 4, 2006
I'm creating a flash game in which you are a UFO flying over a group of cows and you have to abduct them. It's a top view game so I have the grass moving from top to bottom and I have a movie with 5 cows and theres a controller in the _root movie that creates a random variable:
_root.cows = random(5);
Now everytime the controller movie gets to a certain frame, that frame tells the cow movie to play a certain cow (Moving from top to bottom) based on the current variable. What's happening is when there is a repeat, the cow disapears and jumps back to the top. Seeing how there's only 5 cows you can tell this happens a lot.Now I've researched this a bit and found that I can create an array of random numbers and splice each one as I've used it. I've tried this, copied different codes and I can't get it to work.
I am going to make a quiz. It loads questions from an XML. I want to load random questions from the file without repetition. How can I achieve that? Can you give me the script for generating non-repeating random numbers.
I'm using the following code below, and basically I've got 4 containers which all load a random image from a folder. The problem is there are often double ups with the containers. How can I adjust the code below to ensure each container loads an image that isn't already in any of the other containers?
I'm trying to build a bingo card, that will show random words in different locations each time you reload the page. It's 5x5 grid. I'm planning to set up 25 arrays (for each text field on my card), containing lists of the same 25 words. I have a code that pulls random words from each array into my text fields, but I can't figure out how to prevent the words from repeating on the card. A different word should be pulled out from each array.
Here is my code so far:
var words1:Array = ["word","table","lamp"]; var words2:Array = ["word","table","lamp"]; var words3:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];
I want to generate random numbers between 1 and 15 and place them in a datagrid contain one column and five rows in it, i want to populate this entire column with random numbers that are generated but not repeating in that column.. every time app runs the column is populated with random numbers b/w 1 and 15.
well i have 3 mcs (mc1,mc2,mc3), each loads .jpg files in it randomly. The question is how to make each of them not repeat previously loaded one.Example of code that im using
I am importing video playlist using xml. As soon as one video is done, I pick up next random video from the xml list of videos. Lets say I have 5 videos in that list - getting random numbers from 5 would look like so: 1 , 3, 1, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 3, 2 but I really want to have something like this: 4, 2, 5, 3, 1 The problem becomes apparent - the random numbers are repeating. I guess I would have to create some sort of loop to go through xml and get random number and then not repeat it. Any ideas how to make this work. Here is my xml (just 5 videos for example):
I Have about 10 images that will be loading into my home page using the code below. the problem that I am getting is that occasionaly the same image will load twice in a row. is these some code I can insert into my existing code so that the images will not load twice in a row?
var movieArray:Array = ['Simage/Simage0','Simage/Simage1','Simage/Simage2']; var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var index:int = movieArray.length * Math.random(); var url:String = movieArray[index] + '.swf'; trace("Attempting to load", url);
if i have numbers of frames 31,64,97,134,175...(between each of that frames i have motion tween, so it isnt 1,2,3,4...) i want that it goes random in the array of numbers but with no repeating (if i passed 64,175,134 i shure dont want to go on 175 again or something similar), and when that array is finished(all the frames are passed) i want from flash to go on exc. frame 205. Could somebody write that in as3 code? :roll:

I'm using Flash CS3 and would like to create an image gallery that randomly loads images listed in an XML file without repeating any of the images until all have been displayed once.I've managed to combine a couple of tutorials to create an image gallery that randomly loads images from an XML file, but images often repeat before all images have been displayed once (there are over 2 dozen images). Here's the code:
Code: delay = 3000; function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {[code]....
I guess its some kind of random array.. but i dont know how to form it, need it for game(dont want same frames repeat its stupid ) And only specific frame numbers(i have motions between specific frame numbers).

I've got a button and an empty movie clip. Id like to show 4 photos in a random way but without repeating it till all of them are shown first.[code]...
I don't know how to create an array and on every Random number you check if the new Random number is already in the array. If not, you put that value in the array. If it is already in the array...you generate a new Random number. When the array contains all numbers.
I'm trying to create a shuffle button for my mp3 player. I don't want it to repeat any song in the xml playlist until all the songs are played. Is there to display a random number on the click of a button, without repeating any number in the array until all the numbers in the array are used?
I need to generate random numbers from a variable generated by an xml doc. Below is the code I currently have in place. This works... Kind of. the only issue that I am having is it occasionally generates the same number and i'm trying to avoid this. [code]
I've been working on a deal or no deal game (my first game) and I'm stuck. I just need a script to make 22 variables that are randomly equal to numbers 1 - 22, so I get a result like this:
box01 = side09; box02 = side12; box03 = side19; ... ... box22 = side04; I should probably clarify that all 22 numbers need to be different.
It seems like the random variables in my duplicated movieclips are all the same, any way to change this? To explain a bit more in detail: I got a movieclip with a few random variables and actions and I duplicate this movieclip and want the duplicate to have different random variables than the first one, but it gets identical ones.
does one protect this? I mean, Flash Cs5 ide has this little "protect from import" option but I don't think that's enough.I mean, the only thing I can think of is a scrambler.Something that would rename all variables, functions, and custom classes to some random hash. So something like myVar would be renamed to x41dDefh5kjFCe. It would be like a big "lol have fun" to someone who might manage to go that far.Still, that isn't enough. I mean, anyone else know of any good ideas or programs? Just trying to protect my work
So, I'm just starting a bigger AS3 project. I'm still learning AS3, transitioning from AS2 and I keep getting caught up on dumb stuff. I'm creating two variables to store a maximum and minimum value for a random number generator. Here's my code.
I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.
