I have 10 movieclips on stage called mc1 mc2 etc ect and then I have one button which makes one of the mc's alpha = 0;The only thing is I would love the evenlistener add the number created by the array to be put after mc & "array number".So what the button should do is create one of the mc's visible whilst all others are not, and this should happen randomly without an mc showing up twice.
View 0 RepliesI have 40 frames that I want the player/user to go through. The 40 frames shoud be shown in a random order and no frame shown more than once.
How do I go about making the random function discard frame numbers already picked?
I have an assignment where I need to create an array with 9 numbers between 1 and 34, also none of the numbers need to appear twice.This is what I have so far, so as you can see I'm stuck on the part where I have to check if the number already exists in the array.[code]
View 5 RepliesWhat should I do so I end up with an array of random numbers like
[2, 6, 4, 9, 0, 3, 7, 8, 1, 5]
[3, 5, 8, 1, 9, 0, 6, 7, 2, 4]
I'm thinking like starting with an ordered array

I am using actionscript 3 and I am creating an array of 16 buttons and need to use the function math.random to get it to pick 5 random unique numbers out of the array. As at the moment it is sometimes picking 5 unique numbers and sometimes it has duplicate buttons appearing?

View 6 RepliesThis seems quite easy, but I'm not that good with Flash, so it'd be really gr8 if anyone can help.I'm trying to create an array of random unique numbers from 0 to 39 so that I can list these numbers in a countdown and without repetition, ie: 25, 29, 11, 03, 17 etc.These are 40 different numbers, equal or greater than 0 and equal or less than 39.

View 6 RepliesI need to create an array with objects when using random numbers. This is the script I have:
ActionScript Code:
if(_root.EnemyCar.hitTest(_root.kill)){
_root.EnemyCar.removeMovieClip();
var lol6 = Math.floor(Math.random()*200);
if (lol6==2){_root.attachMovie("EnemyCar", "EnemyCar", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74, _y:-100})};
if (lol6==1){_root.attachMovie("SwatVan1", "SwatVan1", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:114.9, _y:-45})};
if (lol6==0){_root.attachMovie("OilTanker", "OilTanker", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74, _y:-250})};
}
As you can see the random number is from 0-250, I want to be able to have enemycar spawning from 2-20 and other movie clips spawning from 20-40 etc.

View 3 Repliesi'm attempting to populate an array with random numbers, but the random numbers must be a certain, minimum distance apart from each other.i've populated an array with 5 random numbers between 0 - 100:[code]after populating and sorting let's assume that myArray now contains these values:26, 27, 42, 92, 97 now i would like some ore all of the array values to be reset, if they need to be, so that they are at least a certain percentage (let's say 10%) of the maximum value (100) apart from each other.the first 2 values (26 and 27) are not at least 10% apart and neither are the last 2 values (92 and 97). however, if i simply moved the value 27 10% away from 26, so that 27 changes to 37, 37 now conflicts with the next value of 42.what is the best approach for populating an array of random numbers who's values will be at least a certain percentage apart from one another but still random.it may go without saying, but i'm looking for a solution that is portable, where maximum values and minimum distribution percentages can be anything, not just for my example above.

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.

View 9 RepliesI am generating random numbers between two numbers by the code bellow:
ActionScript Code:
public function randomRange(max:Number, min:Number = 0):Number
{

}
trace(randomRange(3,-31));
But I need a code which will return some times '3' and some times '-31'. Not the number between them.
Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a game and have zombies spawning on a stage using math.random()
What I want to achieve is their health bars follow them above their heads, However they aren't spawning when I use:
ActionScript Code:
public function iceZombieSpawn(e:TimerEvent) {
iceZombie = new IceZombie(Math.random()*stage.stageWidth, -100); // Create new ice zombie at random x position (width, height, health, hitCount)

They do work when I specify a specific coordinate however won't get the desired result.
i'm generating a horizontally scrolling image gallery and i want audio cues to fade in & out as well as pan with the images.so as the image enters frame left and moves towards center frame, volume increases, pan moves from 100% left to center.as image passes and leaves frame left, volume decreases, pan moves from center to 100% right.i have not worked with sound in flash in this way before & extensive searching hasn't returned any results!
View 3 RepliesI have a line that is 800 pixels long. The line is a gradual curve, that gets kinda steep at the end. I want this ball to go along the line. How do I make the ball move to the right, and stay on top of the line. All I have now is...
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x +=35;
}
Now I need to add something to make it follow the line. The instance name of the line is.... "line" without the quotes of course.
I am trying to make the stage follow the player in AS3 (basically, so the 'view' follows the player and he remains in the center of the screen throughout).Here is what I tried:
Code:
this.x = player.x-stage.width/2;
this.y = player.y+stage.height/2;
Say I am moving an object around on the stage, walking from point A to B across the stage. I want to make the object the center, so the stage is centered on the object, so when I walk from point A to B the stage moves with me.
View 5 RepliesI've been working on a game for my AS3 class that involves enemies randomly spawning from all direction and following the player in an attempt to collide with him. I can get the enemies to spawn from one direction as well as move in a single direction but I can't get the spawning from all sides or the following the player around to work.
I've been at this for a couple of weeks now and followed several suggestions and tutorials (including one from here) with no success and this thing is due by tonight . Here's the code from my enemy class. All of the code of the game is done through AS files with no coding done within movie clips or on the timeline.

import flash.display.MovieClip;

I know how to make something follow the cursor (e.g. a ball that moves where your cursor does). However, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do what I need to for an animation, namely make eyes follow a cursor.Here's the situation: I need to make a graphic (the eye in the middle of the eyeball) follow the cursor (i.e. look up, look left, look in any number of diagonal directions) depending on where the user moves the cursor. But the eyes, obviously, need to stay put in one static spot and move in a very limited region (the entire white part of the eye, but not beyond it).
Furthermore, the eyes start out staring at the user. How do I additionally make them dart to the edges where they'll be looking around once the cursor is moved?
I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.

I'm an actionscript beginner and trying to write a class to make the 'enemies' follow the 'player' (shown below). I'm trying to write it such that it takes two MovieClips as arguments, and moves the first one toward the second one.

I'm trying to make a button that changes aa mc's color to a random one from an array.The array:
Code:
mcarray = new Array();
mcarray = new Array(3);
mcarray = new Array("0x00FFFF", "0x00FF00", "0xFFFF00", "0x0000FF")
and the actions for a btn:
Code:
on (release) {
mccolor = new Color(_root.mc);
mccolor.setRGB(Math.random(mcarray));
}
But the mc turns black instead of some another color...I think it's the "Math.random(mcarray)" there...or is it something else?
I'm working on a game where you have a car that will drive along a side-scrolling terrain, and it needs to folllow the hills up and down and rotate accordingly. Because the front wheel and back wheel will need to be at different heights as the car moves, I'm wondering what the best way to make it rotate correctly is?
The height detection works, and the car will follow the hills but that's just using one point on the car movie clip to test with - it needs to use the front and back of the car.
