How can i create a random number without using Math.random() I think this can be done with a array... i just don't know how.
i need it for a google banner. they don't allow Math.random() of random() in the sript
1) what value is seeded to Math.random() to generate the random number?
View 2 RepliesMaking a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
View 2 RepliesI don't get it. I know it's Math.random(), but how do U use it. Let's say I want a number between 10 and 70.
View 4 RepliesI have created a tween with actionscript that moves a movie clip of a cityscape along the x axis whenever the mouse is clicked.
This is my code
var skylineTween:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, skyline_mc.x,Math.floor(Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) ) + -3,2,true);
Right now it generates a random number from between -1022 and -16 (positions along the x axis).
However, sometimes the skyline movie clip only moves a few pixels and looks boring.
I added 200 pixels to the movement (Math.random() * (-1022 - -16) +200 ) and it looks better. However, sometimes this slides the movie clip past -1022 or -16 and off the stage.
How can I set the value to +200 without passing -1022 or -16?
anyway to do a Math.random on selecting a certain number of XML items?
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to play a random gallary image by making it stops at different frame every few seconds, and the actions is completely random.
The problem is, since there are only 5 different images(5 frames) I'm displaying, there is a high probability that it stays at the same frame, how do I avoid that? Like avoid staying at the same page twice, if not run the function again.

why is this code NOT loading a random image, despite tracing random number?

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;

What I want is for my mc to slide to a new random x position when it is less than 5 pixels away from its target, it keeps doing this. the problem is for some bloody &*�$(()** reason my random numbers only keep going up!! why is this?? i want to produce random numbers between 1 and 770 - this is my code..

I am now using the code for my background image which will rotate when you enter a new gallery.I can't get it to randomize.[code]I have tried adding: Math.floor(Math.random() * total); and it almost works. It seems everytime the last node is called it stops working (also at other random times, haven't found a pattern).

View 2 Repliesbasically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?
Code:
var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3");
var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1));
if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")

I have made a functional to use a number of objects on the stage which should not load overlap with other object of the stage.But, Some time it goes stuck in infinite loops or overlap others.

View 8 RepliesI'm totally new to ActionScript 3 and just trying some very simple things to try to understand how it works in Flash CS5. I have no-one mentoring me so these forums are my first port of call. I wanted to create a simple random number generator. Very simple. Click on a button (first_50) that displays a random number in a text box (main_balls.text) set to Classic/Dynamic. The script I have is as follows:
first_50.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, firstFiftyGenerator);
function firstFiftyGenerator(limit:Number):Number
{
var randomNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(limit+1));
return randomNumber;
main_balls.text = String(firstFiftyGenerator(50));
I get no errors in the compiler and my button works in runtime. I just don't get a number in my text box when I click on it.
i was just wondering how to create random numbers without ever repeating the same number twice or more

View 3 RepliesI have a function that creates a Movieclip every two seconds. I want each Movieclip to go to a random frame.

View 11 RepliesHow to use math.floor(math.random) on a movieclip. Basically I have 2 movieclip called apple and orange. Apple and orange will move out from the right of the stage to the left of stage. the ending part of the stage is at the 3/4 mark and it will disappear. The disappearing part I have already solved it but not the appearing at different speed part. How do you like use the above method <Math.floor(math.random)> to make the apple and orange appear at different timing? I went to research on how to make random objects move at random and found math.floor(math.random).. but I do not know how to do it..to make them move at random.
This is what I have come up with using logic.
apple.x -= math.floor(math.random(something something));
Minus sign before equal sign to make it move from right to left on the x-axis but the rest of the method of math.floor and math.random i have no idea how to use it. [URL]

View 5 Repliesmy current little project requires text to be displayed for random time intervals. The timer code is as follows:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 10000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeQuotes);
timer.start();
HOWEVER the random intervals are not random at all. In actuality the interval is *always* about 5 seconds between each text change for the current code. I've tried *A LOT* of different things to try and get it to be random but no matter what I do, the interval between is always the same. I want the intervals between to be random e.g. text appears for 2 seconds then goes and the next text appears for 5 seconds, then the next for 1 second, then the next for 8 seconds etc etc.
