ActionScript 2.0 :: Randomly Place Mc On Stage EXCEPT For One Area?
Jul 3, 2006
I 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 want to attach a mc from the library, then duplicate it 2-3 times, and have the duplicates start in random _x / _y locations on the stage. They then slowly drift across stage.The code I've got so far loads the mc from the library, duplicates it once, and places it randomly. But it only creates one duplicate instead of 2 or 3. And I suspect it could be simplified.So I need corrected code to create 2 or 3 duplicates, and have them start randomly and move at the same speed across stage. Maybe advice on how to allow them to move at different speeds would be useful as well.[code]
I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.
Is there anyway to randomly place a MovieClip/Sprite on an irregularly shaped object?For a rectangle, it seems pretty straightforward (i.e. use Math.random with the range being the coordinates of an object)...but what if say, you would like to avoid placing objects in the center?
I'm making a scroller that scrolls movieclip (text inside). It works quite good but I want to put the final touch on it. I want that my scrollbar is dynamic in its size (just as browser scrolls or windows scrolls). Then my biggest programming problem comes up, maths
The values that I have is - How tall is the area there the text shows. - How tall is the movieclip that the text is shown in - How tall is the place there my scrollbar is shown.
I have four dynamic text field created at the authoring time in Frame-4. I just need them to be placed randomly every time when I come from Frame3. I have known that there is a Math Class which generates random numbers which would be an effective way. how do I proceed ahead i.e shall I create an array and seed it with the their current positions etc etc
I have an array of display objects that are simple scattered circles on the stage. My goal is to have them move around randomly within, say, a 5/10 pixel radius/range from their original x and y. Sort of like fireflies, but not as jittery and fast, I'm looking for something real smooth. What I have now is something like this:
So as you can see for each circle I call a class JitterCircle and pass it two values: the actual display object and the range I want my circle to fly around in. Inside JitterCircle I have this:
how I can make a movieclip randomly slowly float around within a certain specified area on the page? The way I'm doing it now.. is I use TweenMax.. set a bezier, and have the object tween randomly every 20 seconds to a random spot using the Timer class. This is looks okay.. but I'm sure there's a better way to do it so I can control the area which I want it to float within more easily.
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...
I've been working on my new flash site for a few weeks, along with learning AS3, tackling problems as I encounter them and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me.
All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files I created play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive.
In this .swf where can I place the stage color? I am using the[url].... and it made the stage color black? Which is suppose to be #999 .HERE IS THE CODE SCRIPT:
i want that a MC appears randomly on the stage but with the time...like 1 second, and then after 1 second, it randomly appears somewhere else on the stage (800x600).
if i make say a button in my timeline, convert it to a button. and then remove it from the stage (it is still in the library) in my exeternal .as file how can i then place that movieclip on the stage? i know how to do this within the timeline, but not when it is an external .as file.
The player controls the character with their mouse - it follows their cursor. I'm trying to make an environment continually scroll from the right hand side of the screen to the left - much like in Canabalt (click to see). I've been trying to do this with tweens, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be the most efficient way of doing it... Plus Flash keeps dying on me whenever I try to do it.
I have a couple of background images, and then I have objects in the foreground that the player is going to destroy by mousing the character over them. How do I get Actionscript 3 to place instances of movieclips on the screen at certain points, and make them to scroll from the right of the screen to the left? I have a lot of different movieclips to use, so it'd also be great if they could be removed from the stage once they reach a certain point.
if 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";
i have a movieclip of a butterfly and needs it to move randomly on stage. Also, it should always be facing the side it�s flying at and never fly backwards (if it�s flying from left to right it should be facing right and the other way about)
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?
Code: function timerEvent(e:TimerEvent):void { var newObj:MyObj=new MyObj(); //this places them randomly outside of the stage
I have made many small swf files for each section of my website. The problem is now I want to club them all together to avoid breaks and showing of the loader at inappropriate moments, I know that was poor planning on my part. I want to know I can place an external swf onto the stage, so that it gets loaded with the main swf. As in, I don't want to call a loadMovie or loadClip
I have two artworks on stage which have a common shape within the artwork. I need to make the one I have just added to stage fit the prior one by getting that common shape the same size for both. In Freehand I would drag the junction of the two rulers out onto stage to the left edge of the item, to create a zero point from which to take a measurement. I would drag a guide out to the right edge and read from the info panel an x value, thats my width, or double click the guide to get a reading from the guides palette. Repeat that for the other artwork then get a calculator and divide one measurement by the other to work out the scaling factor I need.
How in CS5 Flash does one place a ruler zero point on stage ? I can drag guides out, but how do I make the left hand guide to be zero ?
