Is it possible to fill a ByteArray with random values that SoundMixer.computeSpectrum() could read? If so, how?The reason I ask is if a tab like youtube is open, I get a security error. I would at least like to see some random values even if they arent matched with the music playing.
View 6 RepliesI'm new to using ByteArray, and am trying to parse hex color values from an .ase (Adobe Swatch Exchange) using ByteArray in AS3. I can see position of the hex values using a hex editor, but don't know which methods to use to parse the hex value from there. Here are the values copied from the hex editor. The 2 color values are #ffffff and #cdcdcd:
ASEF........¿..........$...#.f.f.f.f.f.f..RGB.?Ä..?Ä..?Ä....¿..........$...#.c.d.0.0.c.d..RGB.?MÕŒ....?MÕŒ
I've made a weak initial attempt to get the first color, but am stuck here :
var byteA:ByteArray = _fr.data;
byteA.position=29;[code]....
how to parse out the color value, so it can be added to the temp array tA? As a bonus answer, since there can be multiple colors in a swatch, advice on a method to parse out all colors in a given .ase file
I have a main FLA and when a button is cliked few swfs loads in to it. I need to get a fill colour applied to a object depending on whcih button is cliked.E.g. my_btn - click - loads my.swf & applies #333333 to "my_mc"I'd like to involve a MySQL db here since I'm loading some data with the same buttons' onPress command.

I am working on a game, made with Flash (using AS3) The game has a fast ball and when this ball hits an object it has to make a sound... but the sound starts with delay (so the ball is far away when the sound is played).This sound is edited by me and it hasn't got any silences at the beginning.The method i'm currently using is the simplest one:
public var sonidoPuntos1:sonidopunto1 = new sonidopunto1()
and then...
sonidoPuntos1.play()
I am trying to introduce the file into a ByteArray and then playing it from there...
I followed some of the tutorials about random movement, but I couldn't find where I was looking for! I'm looking for a random movement only on the _x axis with fixed values. I will explain myself a little better. I have 10 pictures (120 x 120 pxl) with above that a transparant mask (120 x 120 pxl) I want the mask to move randomely over the pictures but so that the mask completely cover a pictures so the random movements should be a all cases a plural from 120, wich means (120, 240, 360, 480 etc)

I am importing video playlist using xml. As soon as one video is done, I pick up next random video from the xml list of videos. Lets say I have 5 videos in that list - getting random numbers from 5 would look like so: 1 , 3, 1, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 3, 2 but I really want to have something like this: 4, 2, 5, 3, 1 The problem becomes apparent - the random numbers are repeating. I guess I would have to create some sort of loop to go through xml and get random number and then not repeat it. Any ideas how to make this work. Here is my xml (just 5 videos for example):

View 2 RepliesWhat is the best way to find a random number that is not equal to two specific values?
1) find random number (let's say from 0 to 5)
2) check if the result is not 4 or 5
3) If it is, run the random function again and again until the condition is met.
Or maybe there's a way to set up that at once (find random number that is not equal to 4 or 5).
So. I have this relatively simple code

when I run it, there's this wierd random star just in the middle of the screen. I tried tracing all stars with _x values of 0, 200, undefined; _xscale values of 0, 100, undefined. There was nothing. I don't know why it's there. I don't even know if it has code in it. =/ Does anyone know what it is? Btw, I know it looks like crap ... sorta more like a glue gun than stars ... I have a better looking version, I just used this to try to disect the problem.

I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.

I am recently working with an application. Where I need 4 unique values from an array in such a way that it should checking random item every time. For eg:-
Main_Array = ["one","two","three","four","five","six","seven "];
Sub_Array = ["three"]; // initially it holds one value
for(each value of Sub_Array)

I am trying but I don't get unique values, or something gets wrong which I am not able to solve. Looking forward desperately for some help
I know its a true Pain but does anyone know any way to convert wav ByteArray to mp3 ByteArray.
View 1 RepliesI have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.
I've gotten these sliders to work but can't get the output values to add up. For instance, depending on the values for slider 1, 2 and 3, I need the total to show up in a separate text box. I keep getting a NaN message in the text box.Here's the code I have so far:
//item 1
sliderOne.width = 600;
sliderOne.value = 0;[code].....

I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
why is this code NOT loading a random image, despite tracing random number?

I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
1) what value is seeded to Math.random() to generate the random number?
View 2 RepliesA background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;

Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
