i would like to generate a random number from range [3,200] by log normal distribution.and i using visual studio 2010....i had tried used the Central Limit theorem to obtain normal distribution, but not the answer i want...
Code:
for (int ttt=1;ttt<10;++ttt)
{
aa+= (rand()%197+3);

We are in the process of builing a statistics simulation for a client. One of the requirements of the simulation is to first generate a set of 1000 random numbers from a Normal (or Guassian) distribution.Does ActionScript have the builty in functionality to generate random numbers from anything other than a Uniform distribution?If this functionality is not built in, does anyone know of a component or pre-built script that can provide this functionality?How hard would it be, if either of the two options above are not possible, to generate random numbers from a Normal(Guassian) distribuion using ActionScript?

View 14 RepliesI'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.
How do you generate a random number within a given limit using the ActionScript? Suppose the limit is 1-100. Can you Answer me the explanation too

View 3 RepliesI am trying to generate a random number of mc's, generate a random type of tween (_x, _y or _alpha), generate a random tween property (Bounce.easeIn, Elastic.easeInOut, etc.), generate random start and end numbers, and then finally generate a random duration for each motion tween. I have noticed that everything is generating randomly perfectly fine, but when it comes to actually creating the tween for each mc it does not work.

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.

I'm making a shooter where you are a plane and drop bombs on below boats(your flying over the sea) and I have 2 types of boats, a red and blue one. I want the game to make a random boat(either red or blue) to come along every now and then. I have created a var Boat, and made it generate a random number between 0+1, so either 0 or 1. Then in the function on load put "if (Boat > 0)" import the red boat and 1 for blue.
The problem is is that the red boat always comes, and not the blue boat, and if I make it 0 for the blue boat only the blue boat comes. I think its because when the game starts it generates the number that number is the same through out the game. how to make it generate a random number each time a boat comes? Or anything else that might work.
really 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.

I'm trying to avoid useing a button to send the number from A to B, and instead am trying to use an event listener that sends the number when A loads background.jpg; but the number never gets sent (I start with B open already, and then open A). I've gotten this to work with an onRelease event for a button , so i know the LocalConnection coding works, but as I said I want to avoid using a button to send the number. I'm sure it's right in front of me but i've got no clue why it isn't working, so I defer to wiser minds.

I am trying to use Jim Bumgardner's Clumping example ([URL]) to create an interface. Part of it is that I am creating clusters of bubbles (one parent bubble with n child bubbles). The child bubbles all follow the parent, so far so good. Next step is to create a random distribution of these clusters. So the clusters all need to be n pixels away from each other. My idea was to build this into the clumping algorithm. I.e. if one parent is too close to another parent, their x and y will increase/decrease with a value. Also I am trying to let the clusters stay in the boundary of the stage. Simply by adding to the algorithm the bubbles should move n pixels to the left when they are too close to the left border of the stage (same principle for the other 3 sides).
Problem is that it kind of not works what I am trying. I extended the algorithm so far that it became a mess difficult to see what's going wrong (see attachment). Can somebody help me with describing how I can improve the Clumping algorithm so that it meets my requirements (1. Clusters distributed randomly, 2. Stage boundary collision)? Pseudo-code is also okay
i'm attempting to populate an array with random numbers, but the random numbers must be a certain, minimum distance apart from each other.i've populated an array with 5 random numbers between 0 - 100:[code]after populating and sorting let's assume that myArray now contains these values:26, 27, 42, 92, 97 now i would like some ore all of the array values to be reset, if they need to be, so that they are at least a certain percentage (let's say 10%) of the maximum value (100) apart from each other.the first 2 values (26 and 27) are not at least 10% apart and neither are the last 2 values (92 and 97). however, if i simply moved the value 27 10% away from 26, so that 27 changes to 37, 37 now conflicts with the next value of 42.what is the best approach for populating an array of random numbers who's values will be at least a certain percentage apart from one another but still random.it may go without saying, but i'm looking for a solution that is portable, where maximum values and minimum distribution percentages can be anything, not just for my example above.
