I have a list of countries that are in an xml document. I was wondering if here was a way to randomly load ten of these and place them on the stage in random places. I want to get the effect of this intro: [URL]. (not the one with the black background)
View 8 RepliesI am encountering a strange problem. I am trying to generate a matrix with value of elements either 1 or 0 (filled randomly). I am storing the values into a 2D array. This is code on the first frame. Everything seems to be working fine.
[Code]...
I have gone through the tutorial on this site regarding random movement. But I need it to be kept in a frame. This is the code(from this site)
Code:
function getdistance(x, y, x1, y1) {
var run, rise;
run = x1-x;
rise = y1-y;
return (_root.hyp(run, rise));
} function hyp(a, b) {

Lets say I make an physical border for the element. A "box" 200x100 and this box is centered. How do I keep my random moved element inside this "box" or frame you may call it.
So I am trying to load a text file into flash, grab all of the files listed in it and then load them into flash. Not working. Heres my code.

I have 2 arrays, one of images, the other of links I would like to create an XML list using the values in these arrays. My code is similar to:
public function savecards():void var coverflow:XML = new XML(<coverflow/>); var cover:XML = new XML(<cover/>);
for (var j:Number = 0; j < 2;

I want to list all controls (buttons, datagrids, etc) in a container
This works but gives me a warning 1008: variable 'comp' has no type declaration.
for (var i:int = 0;i<this.numElements;i++)
{
var comp = this.getElementAt(i);
[Code]....
when I get a compiler warning it's because I'm not doing something the way it is supposed to be.
Are there any alternatives to reference the id property? A method I'm missing even a whole different way iterate through all the controls?
I have a for loop which is grabbing data from a xml file and showing it to the user.. my problem is that I want to show 5 for let's say.. 30 seconds.. and then making a transition and show another 5 elements.
I can make the condition like:
Code:
if(info.length() >= 5){
for (var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
and I show the first 5. But what now? How do I hide those and show the next five?
I'm looking for a way to randomly start an ordered list of SWF's. Well, that's not all I have my main SWF calling up external SWF's. I have 2 groups of external SWF's. From my main SWF Actionscript, I want to randomly play one SWF in Group A and continue cycling through Group A (in order) until it is finished. Then I want to randomly start playing one SWF from Group B and continue cycling through that list (in order) until the Group B is cycled through. Then repeat Group A (random start, but staying in order), etc.
Does this make sense?? I realize it's a challenge My current ActionScript works for Group A to randomly select and play in order, I need it to stop after it gets to the random starting point again (so it doesn't repeat) and start up Group B (which isn't in there yet)

I'm making a mockup for a client and I need to Load the .swf with the exact stage size so the graphic elements do not float outside the loaded movies stage area. [URL]Basic load code I'm using...
Actionscript Code:
import flash.display.*;var adLoader1:Loader = new Loader();adLoader1.load(new URLRequest("100828_budlight_texas_fight_728x90_jn.swf"));adLoader1.x = 313;adLoader1.y = 162;addChild(adLoader1);var adLoader3:Loader = new Loader();adLoader3.load(new URLRequest("100828_budlight_texas_fight_300x615_jn.swf"));adLoader3.x = 738;adLoader3.y = 0;addChild(adLoader3);
Is it possible to define a property to limit the number of elements which will appear in a mx:List ? I've read about setting the property rowCount, but I don't see any effect.Can a filter be applied to accomplish this? My intention was to avoid removing the items from the list/array collection, but simply "hide" them. Can this be done?

View 1 RepliesI've taken a few Flash classes, but this is the first I've really been exposed to hard coding things into the stage area.
I'm working on a game, and I need to have the game randomly choose one of four movie clips to add to the stage after a given event. (ex: Mouse click)
The four movie clips are BoostUp, BoostDown, BoostLeft, and BoostRight.

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

1 is there a way to load an external mp3 file randomly from a list of files in a folder? is there a "rand" function (as in php) or something to get random numbers?
2 how can I display the ID3 tags?

View 6 RepliesURL...that has videos in the work section (click work, then the tv icon or the radio icon at the bottom of the page) that will randomly not load.THe weird thing is that the files have never moved, and yet, the same computer on the same ISP using the same browser that could view the videos 2 days prior, suddenly cannot.I'm also having an issue where the flash won't even load on startup randomly.This had happened one time in the past, and I took the page from a test area of the site and put it live, and it solved the problem. So my last ditch plan z is to make a mirror to link to in case the videos aren't loading for a user.
View 2 Repliesif I want to randomly select an image from the stage, by using an array, and send it to the location of a box on stage (ranPair1), how could I do that?
var cardArray = new Array();
cardArray[1] = "twoC, twoH";
cardArray[2] = "threeC, threeH";

im not sure how to about this... i think it may have something to do with the addChild() function

View 3 RepliesI want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}
I have three objects in library - instance obj1 obj2 obj3 I would like to randomly fill out the stage with those objects.
Can anyone tell me how to achive that with action script.
I am generating movieClips outside of the stage I want to send them randomly into the stage in enter frame. Currently it looks like this, so they go like in all directions... How could I direct each of them randomly into the stage?

var newObj:MyObj=new MyObj();
//this places them randomly outside of the stage

I have 5 mc make invisible on stage . On press of a button one of the mcs appear randomly on stage.
View 5 RepliesI'm making a game where you move your avatar around the screen, grab pickups, and avoid enemies. The avatar and enemies are movie clips containing animations. When you collide with an enemy, his movie clip plays a quick animation. All of which is working fine. But what would be the best way to bring in new enemies (which will be different) when a new level starts?
Should I try putting the enemy movie clips inside empty holder movie clips, then swapping them with addChild? So far I haven't been able to get that working. Would swapping external SWFs into empty clips be better (which I'm reluctant to do, since the code that triggers the movie clip animation on collision is working well)? Is there a way to use normal mc's without holder clips, clear them from the stage, and create new ones? Or, is there a way to simply put all the enemy animations on different layers in a movie clip timeline, and switch them by controlling the layer visibility?

Having major issues with the best way to assign the good objects and the bad objects to later update a score.
how i can first assign the movieClips from the library into a good and bad array and then after randomally fill the stage with them.
