I'm trying to place my mc's at a different position each time the game starts but within a certain area. I've used random before...
random(300);
...but I want it to be randomly between the coords
_x 150 and 450
_y 250 and 350
I want to attach a mc from the library, then duplicate it 2-3 times, and have the duplicates start in random _x / _y locations on the stage. They then slowly drift across stage.The code I've got so far loads the mc from the library, duplicates it once, and places it randomly. But it only creates one duplicate instead of 2 or 3. And I suspect it could be simplified.So I need corrected code to create 2 or 3 duplicates, and have them start randomly and move at the same speed across stage. Maybe advice on how to allow them to move at different speeds would be useful as well.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}
how could I randomly place x number of rectangles on stage so that they dont overlap?

I am trying to figure out how to randomly place four cards on stage through external AS3, by arrays.For example:

function getXAxis():String

I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.
View 1 RepliesIs there anyway to randomly place a MovieClip/Sprite on an irregularly shaped object?For a rectangle, it seems pretty straightforward (i.e. use Math.random with the range being the coordinates of an object)...but what if say, you would like to avoid placing objects in the center?

there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.
Onmy stage I have a MC, and when I click it a random MC from the Library should appear and move around randomly.
I'm using this to make it move around randomly [URL]
how to make the random MCs appear from the library. And should I put the random moving script on each of my ten MC?
i tried it all but cant solve it on my own. i have 10 different MC,s. they shall appear by hitting a key on the keyboard. all i want them to appear and play on a random place.
all then 10 MC,s are deticated to 10 different keys on the keyboard. (so by hitting the "A" on the keyboard shall place and play MC "A" at a random place..
URL...that has videos in the work section (click work, then the tv icon or the radio icon at the bottom of the page) that will randomly not load.THe weird thing is that the files have never moved, and yet, the same computer on the same ISP using the same browser that could view the videos 2 days prior, suddenly cannot.I'm also having an issue where the flash won't even load on startup randomly.This had happened one time in the past, and I took the page from a test area of the site and put it live, and it solved the problem. So my last ditch plan z is to make a mirror to link to in case the videos aren't loading for a user.

I have a movie clip divided into three scetions. The first section starts on frame 6, the next on frame 11 and the last on frame 16. Is there a way to get flash to choose randomly between only those frames (6,11,16)and not the frames in between(1-5,7-10,12-15)?
View 4 RepliesI need to call external SWF's so they randomly appear within my main SWF. When one ends, the next will start and so on. I searched the forum and found a thread with the code below and have run in to an issue.
Each of the external clips is set up exactly the same... same length, same tweens, etc.
The code below is sitting the first frame, on the top layer within my main SWF:
randomClips = new Array ("Journey.swf", "Doobies.swf", "LedZep1.swf", "PinkFloyd1.swf", "Stones.swf");
function randomBackground() {
[Code].....
The main movie is one frame long and has three layers. The top layer has the Action Script (above), the bottom layer has my background image, and the middle layer holds the empty movie clip named mtClip
When loaded to the server, the movie plays and one of the external SWF's will load. When it ends, I need one of the other SWF's to load. What happens is that rather than randomly playing one of the other SWF's, it repeats the original external SWF. If I refresh the main SWF, it randomly selects one of the external SWF's and it will constantly repeat.
The external SWF's have no Action Script. I tried it with putting a Stop on the last frame, but that didn't help.

How can I mix an array randomly in as2? I have this code so far:

View 4 RepliesI was going through the chapter 9 topic of animating 3d elements in Todd Perkins Flash CS4 professional essential training on lynda by opening the file and following along by clicking into the movie clip, but doing so caused me to go into symbol editing mode. When he does it on the video he goes straight into the movie where you can see the other elements on the stage. I right clicked on the movie clip and noticed that edit in place is greyed out. Why can't i get into the movieclip so i can edit the animation while seeing the other elements on the stage? I've researched everywhere and i'm confused how i can be going into symbol editing mode directly from the stage. It is late on a sunday night and i am now questioning my sanity.
View 2 RepliesIs this possible with Flash?? I want to place a SWF in the top right of the webpage, and when people click on a link from the main menu on the left of the browser, it plays the SWF. This page is written in php, so there is no refreshing of the webpage, just the content.Basically think of an elevator user clicks on menu item, elevator wheel spins, and javascript loads new content....so the elevator wheel has to play everytime a link is clicked.
