I've been trying to use random to make something happen a certain percentage of the time. For example, for making the scientist go to frame 91 half the time and 181 the other half, I was using this code:

I have a set of images of dogs and a doghouse.
1. Each dog has an email assigned to it for the person.
2. Clicking on a dog (or alternatively "dragging it"), puts it in the doghouse and moves the existing dog out to the now empty location.
3. Once moved in, ther should be a button presented to create an email to the person saying they have been placed in the doghouse (so..like..mailto??).
4. Maybe an image of the doghouse with them in it could attached to the email.
5. LATER: The state of the page could be kept so future visitors know that the person is in the Doghouse.
I have an old JavaScript page that kind of shows the functions:
FAMILY DOGHOUSE
Also, what I have done in FLASH (so far) is also shown at the bottom of the page.
1. Not sure how to make the action wait for the mouse click or drag!
2. Also, maybe a button, once the people decide who goes in the doghouse, to submit and fire the email??
When I chose this little project I thought it was easy, but I realize I have not a clue how to begin beyond making buttons and tweens.
How to alter the onPress to make things happen automatically when the page loads? Basically here my_btn (on frame 1) is used to send data to the server. I need it to happen automatically when the page opens in the browser.
Code:

I'm trying to make this script work in which two things should happen onRlease of a movie clip. In the script below, the "transition" plays but frame 18 doesn't..even though the path is right. I even tried frame label even that doesn't work. The script is on the clip itself.
_root.navbtns_mc.webnav.onRelease = function() {
_root.transMC.gotoAndPlay("transition");
_root.navbtns_mc.webnav.gotoAndStop(18);
}
I have some AS3 code that does two things. Only I want the 2 things to happen 10 seconds apart. The lines of code look like:
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(yellow, "x", Bounce.easeOut, startValue, finishValue, duration, true);
var myTweenBlue:Tween = new Tween(blue, "x", Bounce.easeOut, startValue, finishValue, duration, true);
Right now, they happen at the same time, but I would like them to happen a few seconds apart. I have seen where I can pause the timeline, but in this case, the timeline is already stopped. these actions are triggered by clicking on a button. So Im not sure how to make it so the two actions happen a few seconds apart.
Is it possible to make tweens happen at the same time with Greensock Timelinelite?
I know it could be possible to fake it by putting a negative delay in but that's not very accurate.
In my game, Ive got a HUD, (heads up display, life bar, points scorer etc...) and when an enemy comes onto the stage, the lifebar is appearing behind everything else, and it should really be the thing that's infront of everything else. Is there like a line of code and a function or variable I should declare or import that allows me to create depth and put my lifebar at the front.
View 2 RepliesSay you have a document class, and a customMenu class. If they import some of the same classes, would it be less overhead if everything was in the document class? Thus imports only happen one time?
View 3 RepliesI'm making an Elder Scrolls type game and I want my enemies to hurt me after a certain time.So pretend like 5 seconds after they come on the stage they would take 5 hp off me.Then when one of the enemies die it stops until another enemy comes on the stage then it counts how long its been on the stage.This is what I have so far:

I've just finished using this bit of simple code to get an object to move around randomly. What I want to do is try and get it to disapear or move off the stage after say a minute (with a countdown clock in the corner starting from a minute and counting down).

View 1 RepliesI have one button, that when clicked should display several images, one at a time. At the minute they are all just coming on together, how do i seperate the functions so they come on individually, for example like bullet points, e.g click once and image1 appears, click again and image2 appears etc... so eventually all of the images are on screen, but they don't all just appear together, if that makes sense!

View 1 RepliesI currently have a large picture on screen which I intend to show 1/3 at a time. Each time you click a button the picture tweens up 1/3. Basically what I want to happen is, on the 4th click, once the picture has been seen in its entirety I want it to vanish. The only piece of code I need is, how to make a new event happen on the 4th click.

View 6 RepliesFor example if you had a cat and running a mouse over its tail would make it angry, but running the mouse over it's head would make it happy. I thought it might be done by having layers on a button with 2 hit areas, I mocked it up quickly, but it just played both animations when I hovered over each button.

How to make something like that. To not be to heavy as a lot of data will be flowing there. I have an idea to use the toString() method but I would have to make custom classes.. I would like something fast..
What I want to do is to get the movie to display random images (from a selection) for random amounts of time (subject to minimum and maximum times).
View 3 RepliesWhat im trying to do is play a movie clip between frames. So say we have two menus, when you are on menu 1 and you click the button for menu 2, a short movie clip plays and then you stop on menu 2. I realise I can do this by putting the movie clip on the main scene timeline, but is there anyway i can put it on the button? I think the action script would be something along the lines of "On release play MovieClip and goto frame X" As i said i want the movie to play as an almost filmic transition between menus, with a fade up and then out (Have got that bit sussed using the alpha controls)

This is something I used to know how to do in the first versions of actionscript, but I've been away from flash for a few years and am utterly lost. What I want to do is to get the movie to display random images (from a selection) for random amounts of time (subject to minimum and maximum times).
View 2 RepliesI'm working on my site and I have a random background script setup. Heres the code that Im using now.[code]...
Now I love the way thats its working and but one thing that is kinda crappy is that sometimes it suffers from repeating the same background a couple of times before going to another random background. Now I know that its because the script is working properly but can anyone think of a method that I could use to make it not be able to pull up the last background that it has already loaded? I dont want to make it static because not only do I have this setup for when you enter the site but also its random when you click on one of the nav buttons because I want to try to keep my site dynamic.
I'm using ActionScript 2 and I already placed the progress bar on the stage assigned it the instance name ProgressBar0 but i'm confused on how to give it a label, have it start at a certain time and end at a certain and show the percentage complete in the label.
