I have an array of 10 buttons 2 rows of 5 buttons each.
I was wondering how I might randomize the button placement,each time a randomizeButton function is called.What I mean is keep the rows but how they are lined up and showing will be different each time.
I need to make an animation in which you are shown 5 doors. if clicked, 4 of the doors will make the screen fade out, and a message that says congratulations will pop up. however, 1 of the 5 doors will make a tiger jump out if it is clicked.however, the door that the tiger should be assigned randomly.
View 3 Replies1 button. 3 animations (red, green, blue) on different layers at different frames (80, 100, 115) in the timeline.
How do I get the button to goto and play one of the random animations when pressed?
My move is getting dynamically resized to whatever the computer's screen resolution is set. I'm placing a button in the lower left hand corner that always needs to be flush left and bottom. Now on my computer, I can get it there just by putting in
ActionScript Code:
minimizebtn.y=(stage.stageHeight)-220-(minimizebtn.height);
Clearly, this bit of code will only work for my computer's resolution: 1440x900. I've tested it on other machines and if they, too, have 8:5 ratio like mine, they look pretty good. Not so much on a say, 4:3 ratio display. I know I need to get the aspect ratio and then place my minimize btn's y coordinate.
One thing I'm not clear on: why I set my button to x=0; and it will sit flush left, but won't place my button in the right spot with:
ActionScript Code:
(stage.stageHeight)-(minimizebtn.height);
Currently stage.stageWidth=Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
and stage.stageHeight=Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
What i need to do is to randomize the variable named: randomCard if randomCard doesnt equal any value of myCards array. (randomize again if the value of randomCard isnt in the myCards array)
obviously youll notice that in this part of the code: while (randomCard != myCards); myCards isnt correctly defined
Code:
private var myCards:Array = [0,2,4];
do {
randomCard = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);

View 6 RepliesI'm using this code I obtained from a tutorial to run an mp3 player that reads an .xml playlist. Could someone please tell me what I'd need to add/change to the code so that it plays the tracks in a random order each time the player loads - I'm not concerned about omitting repeats. I've tried adding a "random" command to the Array that holds the tracks but this didn't work.
//Setup sound objectvar s:Sound=new Sound();s.onSoundComplete=playSong;s.setVolume(75);
//Array of songsvar sa:Array = new Array();
//Currently playing songvar cps:Number=-1;[code].......

Does anyone know if it is possible to randomize assets in Flash. Basically I am creating a flash based application which when the user hits a target button the preceeding screen should show a completely random asset (which would be an SWF), at the moment each button is simply tagged to a particular swf, although i need it to be more random than this?

I am working on a flash game that has 'waves' of soldiers kind of like the game Weapon.
what I am trying to do is randomize and array I have which contains strings[code]...
I think this is possible, but I'm not sure how it would be done. I have a flash website under construction that i am building using CS4. The background was made with Poser 8, as well as most of the content. What I have is 7 flames that flicker. The flames are one MovieClip that I have placed on the stage as 7 instances. I think the flame looks great, but 7 of them all flickering exactly the same looks silly. The clip is 10 frames that loop. So...
1) could I use AS to load and play the clip starting at different frames? like instance 1 starts on frame 1, instance 2 starts at frame 5 etc, so that none flicker exactly the same?

I am loading data in via xml and when doing a for loop to iterate through instead of showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ect... how can i randomize for [i] ? If i do it in the for loop it keeps doing the randomizing and gets stuck and if after things are already loaded. how is it done?
It appears the same rotation for every branch. Is this not the correct way to randomize a loop?
Code:

branch.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
branch.graphics.lineTo(0,-50);
branch.x=trunks.x;
branch.y=trunks.y;
branch.rotation=Math.floor(Math.random()*160)-90;
branchArray.push(branch);
addChild(branch);

is it possible to get an uh... "absolute" X and Y for _root.dropDown1MC.listMC.item? As is stands, I'm placing dropDown2MC on the stage using the following code: [AS]_root.attachMovie("dropDown2", "dropDown2", 30, {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});[/AS] and that gets it on the stage, but it doesn't function as I need it. In a perfect world, I'd like to place dropDown2MC at the X and Y of item, BUT, there is a mask to only show a certain area of listMC (it's how I'm making a scrollable dynamically populated list).
So, is there a way to get some sort of absolute value, relative to root or something, of item's X and Y coordinates? Sorry if this is a bit complicated... I'm trying to be as clear as possible, but you know how hard that can be when you're connected to Flash directly though a firewire cable to the brain
I've made some code that loads a line from a text file as a string and puts it into a dynamic field. What I want to do is randomize the letters of the string, but I can't seem to find any functions that do so. Anyone have an idea as to how you do this?

I've been working on this sort of sunset-like sequence inFlash. I've created a movie clip of a star that has a sort oftwinkle animation. It consists of 3 layers. What I want to do israndomize this animation so I can use the symbol spray tool to fillmy sky with twinkling stars. If I just to a "gotoAndPlay" repeat,they all twinkle at the same time, and this looks pretty stupid. My limited knowledge and experience with Actionscript tellsme that I need to define the animation as a function and use somesort of math randomizer to control when it plays?
View 2 RepliesI want to randomly scramble 4 multiple choice buttons (assigning each of them to one of four different positions). I'm trying to (a) randomly extract an element from an array, (b) delete that element from the array, and (c) go through the same process 3 more times till I have 4 random numbers assigned to 4 separate variables. I should be able to assign the buttons to different positions after that.
Here's the first round of what could loosely be called code:
var firstElement:Number = 0;var distList:Array = ["0", "1", "2", "3"];var distNum0:Number = 0;var distNum1:Number = 0;var distNum2:Number = 0;var distNum3:Number = 0;

I've a question to ask regarding randomization using actionscript. Given a situation where you have different designed game characters and you would like to display different characters as the player replay/restart the game. How would you go about doing so?
View 5 RepliesI'm making a flash game for practice and I have my stage set up so there are 9 boxes. When the game is started, one of the boxes is randomized as the one with the start underneath, if you pick the box with the star underneath, you win.
The randomizing code is
var star = 1 + Math.Round(Math.Random()*8.0)//generate a number between 1 and 9
What i dont know is how to attach this code so that it assigns the star to one of my 9 boxes made as buttons. How can I hide the star underneath the box as a cover.
I have nicked some code that allows for playback of external MP3s, but it seems that the more files I add, the more temperamental the playback becomes. Specifically, it seems to truncate the beginning and end of each MP3, and the playback is unpredictable. I should mention that the MP3s are quite small. They are individual words that are meant to spurt out a kind of alien poetry when played back randomly. When I play back the SWF locally off my computer's hard drive, the playback is smooth, but when I test it online, things start to get choppy. Here's the code I'm using.
