I got a project containing 4 movieclips to be duplicated by random and placed on a certain position on stage.all movieclips are placed on top of on another.the problem is: already placed movieclips don't remain on stage - they get replaced by the next movieclip duplicated in.How can I make the already placed clips stay on the stage?

I got a project containing 4 movieclips to be duplicated by random and placed on a certain position on stage.
all movieclips are placed on top of on another. the problem is: already placed movieclips don't remain on stage - they get replaced by the next movieclip duplicated in.
How can I make the already placed clips stay on the stage?
got some code working to duplicate a movieclip, but what I'd really like to do is obviously randomise the movieclip's x position so that it spreads across the stage, rather than stacking in the same position as it is now.
Code:
for (i=1; i<11; i++){
duplicateMovieClip("alien", "alien_new_"+i, 22-10, i);
}
My company is holding an event for our clients and I was asked to make an online flash page to help us in keeping track of the tickets.
The file would have a mandatory text field for them to enter their name (name_txt) and another to enter their email address (email_txt).
Next, they would click a generate number button (generate_btn) to generate a random number to a dynamic text field (number_txt). The number set would be 1-500.
I need actionscript to generate a number that will not be duplicated. When they click the generate button, it will submit to a form via mysql / php. The button, generate_btn, will then be replaced by a print button for them to print their number. (The number will also be emailed to them in the event they don't print it).
Now that I'm thinking about it, we would probably need to have them create a user name / login, so that they can't just return to the page and generate another number.
I was taking this tutorial, >>LINK<< I want to change it from,
Code:
on (click) {
Duplicate Movie clip to,
Code:
onClipEvent (Load) {
That way once it load's it will duplicate the circle MC a random number of times. This circle MC is inside of another MC so it wouldnt be _root i want it to goto, it would be t_mc that I want it to look for it in.
So in the t_mc MC I put this code,
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
i = i + 1;
duplicateMovieClip (t_mc.circle, "circle" + i, i);
}
And on the circle, I put this code,
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
scale = (random(100) + 50)
this._x = random(250);
this._y = random(150);

Im trying to create a list random numbers from 1-30 but only 10 will appear. but i also need to make sure that the list of random numbers will not have duplicates (eg 1,1,20,14,3,28,4,1,18,21). I had the thought of using an array to store the list of numbers but im stuck with how to properly use an if..then to check if the same number has already appeared.
_scriptRookie
Code:
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1))+min;
return randomNum;

how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I am having problems dupliating a movie clip. I can make a duplicate from an original but when I edit the duplicate it also modifies what is in the original. (I am just changing the text, thats the only difference between the 2) How come it effects both clips when I only change one?
View 6 RepliesI have 12 movieclip buttons which each contain a question. When you click on one, the answer appears. I need the answer to remain on the screen. On that same frame, there's a button for "more information".When that is selected, it goes to another frame within the mc, and more info appears. However, it is covered up by the other 11 buttons from the main screen
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a series of buttons that when finally "clicked" will simply stay on or in their "hit" state. This is not for a web page at all, but for an interactive SWF. Now, I've come to the conclusion that I can't do this with a button graphic so I've created a four state button movie clip with the aid of some online tutorials. Unfortunately all the tutorials end with a URL reference and I simply want the button to function like a button until it's clicked... and then freeze there until the SWF is run again.[code]

View 5 RepliesI've been trying to simply get random movement on a MC on my stage.
Most of the tutorials I come across deliver jittery motion, not smooth eased motion.
Also, I'm trying this script found here: [URL]
The random motion looks great! .... but I can't stop the MC from moving to the top left of my stage. The script isn't setup to restrict the motion within a given area on the stage. I tried modifying it, got nowhere!

View 8 RepliesI've got an MC that walks a path, this path is tweened, not scripted. Now this MC is in my library, I want this MC to spawn on the stage(random) and unload it once it is finished. If possible, I want to have multiple of this single MC on stage at the same time. And finally I want all of them to spawn at the same coordinates.

First,I have a menu screen for my game, but for some reason the buttons remain during the game (not visible), I think I need to use swapDepths but I'm not sure. Second, I need to make a restart button from the Game Over screen but I'm not sure of the coding I need to use,would using something like this work?
Code:
on (release){
_root.gotoandPlay ("Menu");
}
or would that only work in replaying a movie?
Is it fine to display the output of Array.toString() to the user, or is there a possibility that the string format could change in future versions of ActionScript 3 or other compilers?
View 3 RepliesI have a simple movie that just runs to the end and stops. When it stops, I want an object to appear and remain visible while the movie is sitting there in its stopped state. Trivial. My current model of the Flash stage is that if you drop an object onto the stage, it's there for the whole movie and it's up to you to move or hide it to get what you want. (That is, you can't add an object to the last frame of the movie, at least without bringing ActionScript into play.)
So, as far as I can tell, the only way get what I want is to add the object to the stage, make it into a button, and use alpha control to hide the object/button until the last frame of the movie, when the alpha goes from 0 to 100. This works, but I'm filled with the feeling of "this has to be overkill". I'd have the same feeling if I started the movie with the object off-stage and moved it on-stage in the last frame. Is there a more reasonable / lighter weight way to do this?
I have a flash quiz that I created. The file is an external swf loaded on top of another flash swf. The quiz is all radial buttons and drop down menus. Once the user choose which answer they feel is correct they click submit. Before they click submit they have an option to close the window. What i want to happen is if they close that window and return I want those selected answers to remain or even if they submitted before; i would like for those answers to remain.

I am trying to create a drag and drop tutorial by building a chemistry set.
The object of the tutorial is to drag and drop the appropriate instruments onto the target to build the kit.
I have the chemistry stand which had been designated as the target and five instruments which the user can drag and drop though only one will connect to the stand and send the user to the next frame. The instruments that are not correct snap back to their original position.
This process continues over 6 seperate frames.
The whole drag and drop process works fine, the only issue is that when the user picks up the wrong instrument and it snaps back to original position, and the user then picks up the correct instrument and send the user to the next frame, the wrong instrument (only the one that was picked up) is behind all the other new objects.
How do I get the wrong object that was picked up in the previous frame to not be in the new frame?
I have also included the actionscript for both the correct and and incorrect instrument.
Correct Instrument:
package Chem.DragDrop
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I've built my first flash application and it's very close to being finished. I have a problem with two buttons that are on the are on the left and right of the stage. When the browser is enlarged these buttons don't remain on the edge of the browser. Not sure if I explained that very well so here is a link to the application [URL] if you make you browser wider you will see my problem.
