View 2 Replieshow to get movie clips to play randomly? Here's what I want to do:
I have four movie clips already created and I want to make it so that when someone visits the page and accesses it for the first time, one of the four is randomly selected and plays (I also want to be able to tell it what frame of the movie clip to go to)!
I want to create random objects on to the stage through and xml.
If u refer the image attached. each circle represents a data from the XML.
i want these to get generated on to the screen randomly with easing animation.
note: circles should have random 3-4 colors as mentioned.
I got some movie clips with different shapes and I would like to make a pattern from those movie clips. I have assigned the x y co-ordinates of those movie clips with the Math.random function. However, the shapes overlap all the time, what can I do to avoid it? I have tried to do a hitTest, but then it doesn't work.

Someone has suggested that I could add the clips to a list after being randomised, then define the area which couldn't be place by the other movie clips. However, how can I define that area in AS3? I have tried to do the hitTest, but I am not too sure what should I do if it has detected a hit, since there's a probability that it will hit another shape.

View 9 Repliesi have a text field called Moneytxt and i want it so when u click on a box it somtimes adds 200 and somtimes adds 100 ( also i would like it to add up in numerical value example: if it adds 100 and it has 200 it equals 300 not 200100). I also have penniestxt where sometimes it adds 30 and somtimes it adds 40.
this is the code (box getting added is not included or addeventlistener)
public function boxclick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var _box:Box=event.currentTarget as Box;

hi, i'm trying to display text from a textfile in a dynamic textfield, i have a text file called "quotes.txt" wich has variables set like this:
q0=text&q1=text2&q3=text3 etc.
so how can i pick these q's at random and place it in my textbox?i've tried this:
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("quotes.txt");
quotes="q"+Math.round(random(10))
loadText.onLoad = function() {
tester.text = this.quotes;
i thought i could replace the direct reference to q0 or q1 etc into a variable "qoutes", so how can i do this so it does work?
I am developing a mini flash game. Player control character and move left and right to collect money coin. There are 5 points that money and bomb release and move from top to bottom. When character collide with money then increase money else hit bomb age increase by 1. Once the age is 99, the game is over and the money is the final scores
Here is my code:
package Class {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
[Code] .....
This is my Game:
Currently, the bomb and money random appear X, 100 with 15 money and 10 bombs in a screen.
What I want is, how to amend it become money and bomb appear from specific point, after that the money and bomb when hit the wall will bounce back.
An example similar game play with my game is [URL].

I'm looking to use Action Script to fade in and fade it out a number of phrases. All of the phrase will appear in the same location, so only one phrase should appear at a time I would also like to make the phrases appear in random order.'ve been able to make one of the phrases fade in and out using the code below. However I'm not sure how to run it in a continuos loop and set it up so the movie clips (mc1, mc2, .... mc10) are in a random order.
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var tween1:Tween = new Tween(mc1, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);tween1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, startTween2);
function startTween2(e:TweenEvent):void { var tween2:Tween = new Tween(mc1, "alpha",

This happends in a *quite heavy* flashproject at work. And what's even more interesting is that it doesn't happend every time. It seem's to be at random. What happends is that text in textfields would move ~1px in X or Y. Have anyone else encountered this?
I thought that it was the layout code that sometimes was updated but no luck with that. And it is not that the text is getting reset either. But it seem's to happend on mouse-input ( press / onRelease ).
This has been tested on different computers and it moved on all, nut in different ways.
I'm working MCQ, for example now i've the the correct answer store in cAns and I've 4 text box from name from Ans1.text to Ans4.text how do i random the cAns to appear randomly in any of the 4 .text? I think to use a while loop? to put cAns in one of the .text and cAns + Math.random for the other 3 .text i dunno it's correct. i tired something like Ans(Math.ceil(Math.random()*3)).text = cAns; but i wonder abt how the other 3 .text and this way didn't seem to work too.
View 8 Repliesive taken an old menu with videos etc written in as2.0 and converted it to 3.0 and recoded the entire thing. And it was a mess..After 3 weeks of work its finally ready, but then a new bug appears:All the text is white, then i hover over my buttons and they get white and bold.Once i remove my mouse it goes back to its original state, but changes colour to yellow. This applies to all the buttons and static text in the scenes or frames i change to with the buttons.
There is no code that changes any properties of the buttons or text anywhere in my file so my question is simply this:Could there be any major difference between flash player 7 and 9 that could be causing this?
I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg that I am trying to get to do this: On page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning,
Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code. I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
if(Movienum == 0) loadVariableNum ("loaded_Text.txt", 0)
if(Movienum == 1) loadVariableNum ("1.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 2) loadVariableNum ("2.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 3) loadVariableNum ("3.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 4) loadVariableNum ("4.swf", 0)
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
function countDown() {
if (Movienum == 0) {
loadVariablesNum("loaded_text.txt", 0);

I have a text box layer on top of the talk bubble. At first it is blank, then I click on Hello Kitty and a random phrase pops up in the text box from the array I created. However, when I click her again she will not say another random phrase. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here is the code.
var myPhrases:Array = new Array(); // HELLO KITTY PHRASES FOR TALK BUBBLE
myPhrases[0]="My name is Hello Kitty!";
myPhrases[1]="How are you today?";

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?
What I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.
View 11 RepliesI've been messing with this for almost six hours now and am at the end of my wits. I need a flash mp3 player that follows the following guidelines:
*all encased within its own movie clip
*loads four different songs, one after the other (event)
*each song displays its own loader
*user scrolls through song selection and plays available (loaded) ones
*first song plays when loaded and continues to the others
any tips on where to go with this? do I create four different sound objects since later songs are loading while the first are playing?
I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.
View 1 RepliesNoob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

View 1 RepliesI have a project that needs to take dynamic text and arc it. Similar to this: http:[url]...In this example, select a font then click create text item.At this point you can slide the meter to change the arc of the text. This is exactly what I need to do.My understanding of what needs to be done is I need to first break the letters of the text field into separate text fields, loop thru them then position and rotate each char to the desired arc. The problem is my trigonometry really bites. I have tried many tutorials and I have gotten similar results, mainly arcing text into a complete circle at different radiuses. But all I need to do is whats in the example, which is allowing the user to gradually arch the text.
