ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Random Lines From A Loaded XML File?
Aug 30, 2011
I want to load an XML file and display at random a different line when a button is pressed. I swear I've seen dozens of different ways to do this online already and I've tried to copy them for my purpose
Here is my XML file titled "file"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
<quiz>
[Code]...
Of course, once I get this working I'll need to output the text in a text box and assign a button press to load a new line.

I'm tring to import a text file and have a dynamic text field display a random line from that file (picture a quote-of-the-day type scenario). I've been able to import the file, but I have yet to find a way of displaying a random line from the file.

I have a project I am trying to put together that includes closed captioning with a scrollbar (standard flash component). In my navigation file I have a text box with a dynamic text box with _level10.ccText as the Var
I have a series of pages that get called into a level below the navigation file. On each of them I have code in an actions frame _level10.ccText = "text text text text";
The text displays fine in the text box but when I scroll down the scrollbar scrolls down too far. The text gets to the end and the scrollbar is only about halfway down the bar. If I keep pushing the down button or drag the slider it will go all the way down but my text doesn't move. Its almost like there are extra lines somewhere that it is trying to scroll to.

I'm trying to load my XML data into an array. And have this array be randomized, so everytime this swf will be started, another swf will be loaded. (I hope I make myself clear?) I get no error's and I traced the Array, but A it only shows 1 file and B it doesn't load this particular file.Here's my code:

I hope I can explain this well enough. I have these four lines of code
Code:
if (ChPoint >= 3){CdefRan = 1;}
if (CaPoint >= 3){CdefRan = 2;}
if (CbPoint >= 3){CdefRan = 3;}
if (ClPoint >= 3){CdefRan = 4;}
The contents of each line must always match: So ChPoint must always result in CdefRan being 1 But I want the order of the four lines to be random, as it is, if ClPoint is 3 then CdefRan will always be 4 even if ChPoint becomes 3. I suppose I basically want the script to choose which order they're in when the parent function is called. I'm trying to figure out the best way to be able to randomise the lines. There are 24 possible variations of the four lines and I could just create an outer IF with a random(24) like so:

my requirement is that i want to dynamically draw lines on stage using actionscript only;
the end of each line should be the starting point of the next line. all lines will be of random different lengths, heading in random different directions...
but all line should stay in the bounds of the stage i.e. if the stage is 1024 X 768, lines should not go way out of these dimensions...

I know it's for sure a complex task, but does anybody out there know a package or a set of algorithms to extract shapes out of set of overlapping lines? I am looking for something in as3 that would resemble adobe illustrator's pathfinder function (most specifically, intersection). SWF here: [URL]. I know it will need some crazy geometric calculation?

I'm trying to write code for webcam tracking + drawing generative lines. Main idea is that person passes the camera and it creates random size and colours lines. After lines fill screen up to 35%, screen become blank (as in the begining). So my questions are: 1. how to create random size and colours lines that appears by person tracked movement? (example could be that person is creating generative art by lines) 2. what functions should I use to count percents of filled screen? (I want that after 35% screen become blank as in the beginning. After that it just continue process from the beginning)

I need to generate three lines of text (essentially jibberish) that are each 60 characters long, including a hard return at the end of each line. The lines are generated from a dictionary of words of various lengths (typically 1-8 characters). No word may be used more than once, and words must be separated by spaces. I think this is essentially a bin-packing problem.
The approach I've taken so far is to create a hashMap of the words, grouped by their lengths. I then choose a random length, pull a word of that length from the map, and append it to the end of the line I'm currently generating, accounting for spaces or a hard return. It works about half the time, but the other half of the time I'm getting stuck in an infinite loop and my program crashes.

All I want is to display a random node from an xml file in Flash. I can display one node fine, but if try to display 2 or more, Flash sticks the XML tags back on the items - change the number following questions in the urlLoader_complete function to see what I mean.
Here's my AS3:
var questions:XML;
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("breakfast.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

I've got the actionscript to store an array of facts then display a random fact. the only thing is you need to refresh the swf file before another random fact is displayed but I'm not sure how to incorporate that into my actionscript?
var randomFacts:Array = ["fact1","fact2","fact3","fact4","fact5","fact6 "];
var fact:String = randomFacts[int(Math.random() * randomFacts.length)];
trace(fact);

I have an XML slideshow displaying random images.
It works but sometimes duplicates the same images or displys the same image way more than the others...
Is there an action I can call so ALL my images play once in random order, before they get to be displayed for a 2nd time?[code]...

The following program gives me the results in the output panel because I used trace. The problem is that I want these numbers displayed when I click on a button. The numbers should not duplicate when the button is clicked, for example not "3, 3, 2" but "3, 2, 5". Here is the program that randomly selects numbers (which by the way is not mine): (I'll happily donate 15$ to the animal charity of your choice for whoever can give me a hand with this problem
var mynumbers:Array = ["1","2","3","4","5","6"];
var mystuff:Array = [];
var randomCount:Number = 3;

I am having a really frustrating problem with creating 2 random numbers. When I run the program, everything works fine, until I hit my object and go to the screen "math". Once there, all it shows is one number in one of the 2 boxes. Below is the code used to generate the numbers. I used the "trace" command to see if it was actually generating the numbers, and it is. The problem seems to be with pushing that number into the variable and displaying it to the user.

When doing a preview, flash loaded quite fast and you were able to see the preview in only a few seconds! But suddently it has become slow! Now it runs to about 80-90% in loading when pressing CTRL+Enter and then it stops, and you have to wait like 10 seconds to see a preview.. Why is that? The file only contains around 100 lines of AS and 2 images!!

I have some problems with Bitmap displaying properly loaded image, when providing variables as width and height in the constructor as opposed to numbers, example:
[Code]....
Running the app with this code cuts away half of the picture from right and half of the picture from the bottom. Since the BitmapData is filled with solid white background, the clipping is clearly visible. When line marked with [*] is commented out, and line marked with [**] is uncommented instead, the whole picture displays and all is just as expected. The only difference between those two lines of code is, that in line [*] are used some properties+variables, and constants are used in line marked with [**].

My code is on the main timeline.I call a function loop to draw lines between them.The lines are drawing between the right x, y values BUT between those values on the main stage, not those values within the kite.For example, dot1_mc is at x100, y0 inside kite. the line that should go from its center, draws from stage x100, 0.How do I draw the lines inside kite so that they draw between the dots?Heres my code that draws the linesPHP Code:
function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new
