ActionScript 2.0 :: Placing MC's On Random Coordinates?
Mar 23, 2005
I'm trying to place 12 MC's on random coordinates. In the attached zip file you can see their positions. I was thinking that I could have an array, in which each 'item' represents an x and a y position for one of the MC's. This array should then be randomized, so that when the thumbs.swf is loaded each MC ends up on one of the 12 predefined positions randomly, so that every time you load the MC's are in different positions. But how do you store two values in an array item? Amnos already helped me out big-time with a different approach I had in mind, but I could not figure out how to continue with this... not doing more with what you gave me...this is the address to that thread:[URL]..
What I really want to do is, what I described above and once all MC are loaded, let them appear in a random order. For example, all is loaded and then make the MC's apperar sequentially with an alpha fade-in from top left to bottom right...or the other way 'round, or build it up in columns.

I'm working on a simple tutorial, and I'd like to randomly generate the positions of the red and green boxes in the accompanying images anywhere inside the dark gray area, but not in the white area. Are there any particularly elegant algorithms to do this? There are some hackish ideas I have that are really simple (continue to generate while the coordinates are not outside the inside rectangle, etc.)

I have 35 movie clips named mcMyObject1, mcMyObject2, etc. to mcMyObject35Each time the playhead enters the frame this code sits on, I want all of these 35 movie clips to be placed on the stage in random orderI want each one of these 35 movie clips to land on one of these X coordinates: 57, 187, 317, 447, 577, 707, 837 and on one of these Y coordinates: 53, 183, 131, 443, 573. (It's a 7 x 5 grid)Movie size is 1024 x 768Here's my code, which doesn't work:
stop();
var myXArray=[57, 187, 317, 447, 577, 707, 837]; //cordordinates for x
var myYArray=[53, 183, 313, 443, 573, 573, 573]; //cordordinates for y

I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.

I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate
xFla = function (x, y, z) {
// cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line
style(1, "0xFF0000", 100);
plot(0, 0, 0);
draw(200, 0, 0);

I'm designing a website in flash & have imported my images into the library & have placed them on the stage, but when I go to "test movie" to preview my page, some of the images look like this [URL] the funny thing is, when I look at the images on the stage they look fine, it's only when I test my movie that they look cut off.

I have a 6*6 table, and 2 dices generating random numbers. The 6*6 table have empty textboxes which will display the sum of two dices. I have the table and the instance ready but I do not know how to display them onto the right textbox. For example if red dice roll and one and white dice roll a two I hope selec12.text=3. The code I have done are as below
Code:
var row:int=7;

Basically I have this code...
ActionScript Code:
gameOverFinal = new gameOverMessage();
gameOverFinal.x = 265;
gameOverFinal.y = 400;
addChildAt(gameOverFinal, o);
It displays a game over message at a certain time. but if let's say the enemy that killed me is at the exact place where the game over message is the enemy will freeze over the message and obscure it. Is there a simple piece of code that will make it so the message is always on top?

I'm importing and playing an external FLV in my movie using the FLVPlayback component and providing captioning for it using the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component. It's working great. (CS5, AS3, Windows 7)
By default the captioning box plays directly on top of the FLVPlayback Component. I want to separate them, so for instance, i can put content (images and such) in between the Playback component and the caption box.

I have played some more with Flash and come upon something that i would know more about.I tried to make:A scene. when I click the left mouse button on the stage an object(from the librery [graphic]) will be place exactly where the mouse is.I did not really know how to approach this, but tried anyways.
This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addApple);
Function addApple(event:MouseEvent):void{
//I dont know what to put here to place an object(apple) from the libery
//onto the stage where the mouse is.
};

Ive managed to create a for loop that finds the highest value in an array:
array[0]=max
for(e=0;e<array.length;e++){
if(array[e].value > max.value){
array[e]=max
}
}
but Im trying to create a for loop that places all the values in that array from lowest to highest

I am trying to import an image and then place the image in two spots on the stage. This is the code I'm using:[code]My problem is rather than placing two instances of the image on the stage, the code above places one image with an x coordinate of 300 and a y coordinate of 0.I thought the code above would place two images. One at point (0,0) and the other at point (300,0).

It's been a few years since I've last used ActionScript, so I'm a bit rusty Anyways, I have 16 buttons in my library with linkage names btn0-btn15. I can successfully add them onto the stage by saying something like:
Code:
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new btn0();
stage.addChild(tempBtn);
I'm going to be tinkering with the buttons layout and positions, and I would like to add each of the different buttons to the stage dynamically with a for loop. I've been trying different variations of this:
Code:
for (int i:int=0; i<16; i++) {
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new ["btn" + i]();
}
but I just can't seem to find the right syntax for doing this correctly.
