I have made a functional to use a number of objects on the stage which should not load overlap with other object of the stage. But, Some time it goes stuck in infinite loops or overlap others.
Note:- I am attaching the files and screenshot also.

What I want is for my mc to slide to a new random x position when it is less than 5 pixels away from its target, it keeps doing this. the problem is for some bloody &*�$(()** reason my random numbers only keep going up!! why is this?? i want to produce random numbers between 1 and 770 - this is my code..

View 1 Replies@ 1) I have a big problem with Math.random logic in the animation on the top of this website ( danceacademy.cz ). If you leave it for lets say 3 minutes it'll start breaking (see for yourself please).
@ 2) Also animation shows mostly the Yemi guy which is undesirable behavior . That's because he is on the end of the code ( else { // In case the random number is 1 myMainMovieClip = new yemimain(); )

in a previous discussion i got some help with randomizing the position of the "appeaance" of an mc on the stage [URL], with the code being only in the Flash Pro file. Here, i am asking for help in randomizing positioning using Math.random but using a document class, to avoid rewriting the code for numerous movie clips that i have in the library. The movie clips in the library begin and end with approximately 15 blank key frames: they have 2 layers, one for action script and one for graphics (which are also movie clips,) while the AS layer in movie clip is longer than the layer containing the art, on both ends, beginning and end, so the effect is of bubbles popping up and appearing on the stage in random positions.
The movie clip symbols in the library have a base class popBubble.as, which works to removeChild(this). However, using RandomPosBubble.as in the document class for the flash file, i am getting a script error -

I have a screen showing 6 buttons. 3 of these buttons are fixed controls which must always be in view while the remaining three will be randomly selected for each question from a total of about 150 possibilities (do I really have to make 150 differently labeled buttons? (but this is a side issue)). these randomly selected buttons show up at randomly selected screen positions? I'm vaguely aware that X and Y and random will be used here.
The idea is to prevent the user from becoming familiar with the layout and building an intuition which would be counterproductive to the aim of the application. The remaining aspect of this problem after randomizing the position of the three dynamically generated buttons is that they must not overlap the 3 fixed controls which must be always available. I'm sure II could spend weeks on this without a few good tips to point me in the right direction.
I like to place lets say 4 movieclips on the stage with a random x-axis, but with no overlap, and if possible also not outside the borders of the stage. Performing the hit test would be not to hard, but then perfomring it again untill it is true, that is the tricky part (for me).
On the other hand I just want to place them visually random on stage, but infact they need to be more or less evenly distributed over the stage width, so maybe another solution is easier?
part of the code:
Code:
else if((i > spacery) && (i <= spacery*2)) {
container.x = Math.floor(Math.random()*800);
if (if (container.hitTestObject(container)){

I have two movieclips and I want to test if they have collided. However, I want them to still be able to touch eachother (i.e. no pixels between them) without them registering that they have collided. I'm using the following code but it doesn't quite do the trick for what I am wanting to do:
Code:
thisMovieClip.hitTestObject(thatMovieClip);
I am working on a flash file that imports xml data. This data gets run through a for loop and each xml child gets its own movieclip called menuItem. Then the various instances of menuItem are randomly placed on the stage. However, they always overlap to some extent. I don't want this.
So, how would I make sure they don't overlap? I looked at the hitTest function but it seems to require 2 different movieclips to check for the collision. I only have one movieclip with multiple instances.
basically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?
Code:
var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3");
var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1));
if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")

The idea is to load an undefined number (around 200) movieclips (filled with pictures) that are grouped by "family" (probably 30 groups). all this data being retrieved from a mysql database (via AMFPHP).ll of this brings up no problem of any sort.Problems come up in the second stage of the process :I want to place theses groups on the stage at a random position (easy) but I also want them not to overlap. I have tried to work something out with hitTest but I have miserably failed because whe I move one group out of collision, I have to check all of them again... and that brings flash into an almost endless loop that the previewer stops before it crashes my computer.
Of course, google has been (maybe I don't know the right vocabulary) and once again, kirupa is my last hope...For the structural aspect of this question, I have a main MC containing all groups (group0, group1, group2, ...) each group containing the pictures (pic0, pic1, pic2, ...). I also have room on my stage since the main container is draggable

View 11 RepliesHow to use math.floor(math.random) on a movieclip. Basically I have 2 movieclip called apple and orange. Apple and orange will move out from the right of the stage to the left of stage. the ending part of the stage is at the 3/4 mark and it will disappear. The disappearing part I have already solved it but not the appearing at different speed part. How do you like use the above method <Math.floor(math.random)> to make the apple and orange appear at different timing? I went to research on how to make random objects move at random and found math.floor(math.random).. but I do not know how to do it..to make them move at random.
This is what I have come up with using logic.
apple.x -= math.floor(math.random(something something));
Minus sign before equal sign to make it move from right to left on the x-axis but the rest of the method of math.floor and math.random i have no idea how to use it. [URL]
Here is the problem:
var p:int = 0;
var n:Number = 0;
n = 32.999999999999999;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 33
n = 32.11111111111111;
p = Math.floor(n);
trace(p); // returns 32
I would expect both of these to return 32. I have searched, and it seems this is an unreported bug in AS3. Or ... am I doing something wrong?
I've been experimenting with this and I haven't been able to come up with an adequate solution. Hoping one of you Mathletes can point me in the right direction. I'm building a Snow Globe in ActionScript 3 and I need to come up with a set of equations to control two level of snowflakes - one level random, and the other interactive where a user can click on them.For the random snow, I need to have it create certain number of random x/y positions at the bottom of the globe, which is a circle with a radius of around 300. Then when the shake action occurs, They should randomly float toward the top, then fall back to a random position at the bottom of the circle again.
For the interactive snow, I need it to randomly layout, but I don't want flakes to overlap so that its easier to interact with them.

View 5 Repliesmy current little project requires text to be displayed for random time intervals. The timer code is as follows:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 10000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeQuotes);
timer.start();
HOWEVER the random intervals are not random at all. In actuality the interval is *always* about 5 seconds between each text change for the current code. I've tried *A LOT* of different things to try and get it to be random but no matter what I do, the interval between is always the same. I want the intervals between to be random e.g. text appears for 2 seconds then goes and the next text appears for 5 seconds, then the next for 1 second, then the next for 8 seconds etc etc.
quick question, i have a loop playing where two MC holers have math.random script applied to them, allowing random images to be generated as it plays from a folder of images. i've gotten everything to work,initially i had about 60 images, i then added an additional 40, changed the coe to reflect this and had no problems.
today i added an additional 196 images, but when i test my movie the numbers generated never surpass #101
is there a limit to the ammount of numbers output by math.random script?

I am trying to create an effect where my movieclip appears to float in space-like a particle suspended in liquid. Actually, that's exactly what it is I've managed to make it randomly move around, but this code just makes it seem to jump around jerkily. I'd like to smooth out the transitions with a tween but am having a heck of a time figuring out how to do it.

I am designing a game in which the player can travel through doors when they are the same color.There are three doors on stage: "door1","door2" and "door3". Each door is an instance of the same symbol. The symbol contains six frames, 3 copies of the door in a different color and 3 copies of the door in different colors with an icon of the player.. The frames are labeled "color1", "color2" "color3" and also "player1","player2" and "player3".
I am attempting to write code that tells Flash to a)select a door at random and then select a random frame for the randomly selected door to set the game for play. For instance, at startup, Flash randomly selects "door2"and then randomly selects "player2". So, the player's starting position will be on "door2" and the door will be red. After this, Flash will select the other door colors randomly from the frames labelled "color1","color2" or "color3".I am attempting to do this with this code:
var min:Number =1;
var max:Number =3;
("door"+String(Math.floor(Math.random()* (max - min) + min) ));
This randomly selects the door.I would like this to randomly select the color of the randomly selected door.
(e.currentTarget).gotoAndStop("color"+String(Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min); ));
I wonder how to make a Math.random() function, or something similar where it chooses a number from 0-9. But as the program progresses, another random variable will appear. That random value is what I want removed from the 0-9 scale. (The other random variable is also from 0-9)
