generating a unique number of some sort, in Flash that varies from computer to computer, sort of like an IP Address.And is there a way of doing it all within Flash, no php!!. This file is using .asp on the server side, but I'd rather stay away from that (though reply if you know how to do it that way), plus I'm curious if there is a way to do it in AS2.

var numbers:Array = [];
var newNb:Number;
var max:Number = 81;

Using the code gives me 4 numbers but not always unique. Looking around for some tutorials drew a blank.
Code:
var m1:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3)+3;
var m2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3)+3;

Looking to generate random numbers b/w 0 and 19 with no duplicates to be put in Array.

Im making a game where there are 25 tiles with corresponding questions when you click them. One of the tiles must blink at a time, once the blinking tile was selected it will be hidden and the question will appear. If he answered wrong, the game is over else we will select another blinking tile after answering correctly (but the previous tile is hidden now). So how can i make the tiles blink or change its color using AS? And how i will select the available tiles, where some tiles are already disabled/hidden (already answered)? here is my pseudocode: (im not yet familiar with AS2 OOP concepts so im will use movie clips here & array to save the selected tiles)
select unique random no. from 0 - 25
check if it is in the array1.length not 0 && generated rand. no. is not in the array1
else store generated rand. no. to array1
tell movieclip(array1[0]) goto blink frame
if movieclip(array1[0]) finished blink
goto not blink frame
else hide the tile.

View 4 Repliesi've searched for several hours, and didn't find an answer for my problem. i'm trying to place comboboxes in a datagrid filled with DYNAMIC data. (the number and the content of these comboboxes always change. i don't know in advance how many columns there are, where i need to use comboboxes. so every single combobox gets a unique dataprovider, which comes from an external source, WHEN the program runs.)
-i found MANY threads discussing this problem, but solving via crappy mxml files, filling the comboboxes inside the sourcecode by hand. i want to point out, that isn't good for me.
-i found a better solution, in which they used some sort of custom itemrenderer to get the data from the internet. (kind of a country chooser thing) but sadly that wasn't good enough, because the number and name of the countries in the world are static more or less, they don't change. so their renderer class didn't depend on any parameters from the main algorithm.
but in my program i calculate the data in my own actionscript objects, then fill an arraylist with that. so at the beginning i load the desired data from the net, and when i get the response of the urlrequest, AFTER that i start to populate the datagrid/combobox.
i can fill any datagrid or combobox without trouble, but to put that combobox inside a datagrid cell seems to be impossible.it drives me crazy. i managed to do this in several languages before, c#, java, even php+html, but in flex it looks way too complicated then it should be.

View 1 Repliesreally great job done in the forum This is my first thread here, and i would like to ask how can someone produce a random number within a complex range.In my case i want to produce a random number in the range [0,90]OR[270,359] and i can't find the way to do this using Math.random . I looked on the internet but in most cases a simple range is used like (2,40) or [4,50] etc.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to come up with a function that can give me an array of unique random numbers based on a range. If they don't fit within that range then it keeps check until it return the correct array of numbers.
Unfortunately I just keep getting an constant loop that crashes flash.
ActionScript Code:
var positions:Array = [];
function uniqueRandomNumber(max:Number, min:Number, len:int, range:int = 100):void
{
[Code].....
uniqueRandomNumber( 200, 0, 6, 40 );
I want to make sure that all numbers are 40 apart from each other
This is what I got so far; I'm using Flash Cs5 to create an IPhone App, It is designed to automatically generate a trick for bmx when you click a button.. If you want to do a type of grind you would hit the "grinds" button and it would display a trick.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
grind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, generate_1)
[Code].....
How can I generate a random number in Flash CS5 using AS3, I'd prefer it as simple as possible.

PS - I just accidently posted this on the Flash section so apologies if anyone has read it twice.
I'm trying to devise a (good) way to choose a random number from a range of possible numbers where each number in the range is given a weight. To put it simply: given the range of numbers (0,1,2) choose a number where 0 has an 80% probability of being selected, 1 has a 10% chance and 2 has a 10% chance.
It's been about 8 years since my college stats class, so you can imagine the proper formula for this escapes me at the moment.
Here's the 'cheap and dirty' method that I came up with. This solution uses ColdFusion. Yours may use whatever language you'd like. I'm a programmer, I think I can handle porting it. Ultimately my solution needs to be in Groovy - I wrote this one in ColdFusion because it's easy to quickly write/test in CF.
public function weightedRandom( Struct options ) {
var tempArr = [];
for( var o in arguments.options )

I am trying to generate a random number of particles (say between 1 and 4) per second, which would float up the screen from the bottom at a random X value (width is 1280 px). These particles should be a random size (say between 2 and 5 px in diameter) and a random opacity (say between 20 and 50%).
and all of this should be going on in the background while the rest of the flash actions are taking place.
How would I do this, I have been experimenting but have had very little success. It is something that I could easily do in after effects however I would like to keep file size small and allow for continuous uninterupted play.

View 3 RepliesMy 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.
