ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Iterative Changes To A Number While Keeping It To A Baseline?
Feb 13, 2011
Here is a very difficult math problem I was unable to solve, its an excellent opportunity for someone like newblack or lordofduct or some local genius to demonstrate their superior math skills to the community: I want to change a base Number over many updates/iterations, by a random % of this Number in a random direction within a pre-defined threshold WHILE, keeping the averages across the iterations the same as the original base Number. here is it in pseudo-code:
[CODE]....
Some restrictions: Ideally this would be a pure 100% straight math solution without any kind of Weighting, tricks or additional variables. (IE a weighting would be if the number deviated from an additional baseline or hit some kind of limit, then we started artificially increasing it back to that baseline. )

I'm trying to make a kids score board where there are 20 icons all with scores behind them between 1 and 20 and a kid chooses an icon, clicks on it to reveal their score, thenthe score is added to their teams running total at the bottom of the window. (There are 2 teams) The thing i have a problem with is generating the random numbers and also where exactly to drop in the actionscript in the timeline. I've tried different variations of the Math.Floor(Math.Random) but i cant seem to get it to produce the numbers i want!

I am creating a site with lots of big scrollable text-boxes in it. Each text-box object contained some text, and two buttons to scroll up/down with. The scroll buttons each had an event listener so the text moved when you clicked them.
These text-boxes were stacked on-top of each other with all except one having an alpha of 0. If I wanted to change which text-box is active I move it to the front and call a small TweenLite animation.
To the left (outside of the text-box objects) I have an object similar to a menu. It also has about 12 or so event-listeners (one for every button).
This turns out cause A LOT of lag an it's very troublesome for my laptop to run it. reduce the number of event-listeners on the stage and also the amount of text-boxes.
What I was thinking was to add the text-boxes using AS so I only have 1 on the stage at a time but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I also thought it might be better to just use 1 big event-listeners and from mouseX and mouseY decide which button the user is trying to push.

I'm trying to create a shuffle button for my mp3 player. I don't want it to repeat any song in the xml playlist until all the songs are played. Is there to display a random number on the click of a button, without repeating any number in the array until all the numbers in the array are used?

I'm trying to measure the y position of a single line text field, specifically at the baseline position, i.e where the bottom of the letters without tails like 'y' has sit. I guess I either need to know the y position at baseline or the height of the font not including the stuff under the baseline.
The reason I'm needing to do this is that I'm using alive pdf and i'm trying to add text in the same relative position on the pdf as the window that the user designs something, and alive pdf's addText function sets y a the baseline position it seems.

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?

The way my test works, I draw a path on a displacement map using the mouse, and this displacement is applied to the same image every frame (i.e., the displaced image of the last frame is displaced again). Colors are flowing along the path as they should, with one problem: the displaced pixels always turn transparent after a few seconds.At first I thought this had something to do with the DisplacementMapFilterMode, so I tried setting it to "COLOR" using an opaque bright blue, while the stage behind my warped image is a highlighter green. Nope, the FilterMode color is only used for pixels sampled off the image, while my interior pixels were turning completely transparent of their own accord. I tried removing the alpha channel from my distorted image, and then the pixels would just turn black instead of transparent.
So, now I'm stumped. I've viewed my displacement map to make sure it looks right, I've tried setting the displacement scale to low and high numbers, and I've checked the channel assignments, all to no avail. Here's my code, and I've attached the .fla as well, so you can see what's happening. If you run the file, just make your mouse is located in the center of the frame before it starts, or you'll end up dragging the blue fill color in from off the screen.
Code:
// "spider" is the name of a named movie clip instance containing
// an image on the stage, having the same dimensions as the stage

I'm working on an image gallery project that uses 45 jpgs that need to be displayed all at about the same time (like a splash of photos).Everything works except for inconsistent display of the loaded images (it works consistently on localhost but not on the remote server).All of the images successfully preload into the cache, but when the routine that displays them starts, it sometimes fails to complete.I haven't been able to find anything unusual in the display code that would account for the failure.So I thought I would try to add a work-around (maybe a Timer) that would repeatedly run the display routine until it completed successfully (sounds sloppy and hokey, but I'm at my wits end and way behind schedule).

I'm creating a small docu where you have some control functions like you have in Windows Media Player or Winamp or...
So my problem is that I don't know how I can make the statusbar (a bar where you can see how far the movie is).
I just have a bar that begins with a width of 0 and I want to make a itterative function that just does a _width++ every second/24fps
The question: Is there a function, like the Thread.sleep() method in Java, that let's you wait for a certain amount of milliseconds? Or do I have to put on every frame a call for my ++ function.

I have code that I got off line that will create a random number in the output tab. I put together an if else statement, however I can not figure out what how to call the random number into the if else statement. My last try was calling "n," However that did not work. I have a bit of the code that I am working with. I am giving only the first 3 but there are 13 in total, but as they are all the same just going to different frames I thought that it was not necessary to show them all.
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
[code]...
If there is an easier way to get the same thing I am open. I just want it to start on a specific random frame (13 of them).

I'm building a dynamic Grid Gallery in AS2 consisting of 35 image spaces with over a 100 images to select from. I want the images to be selected randomly, but don't want any of the images to repeat. This is the code I have for the Randomnization.
I figured that if the imageNumber equaled itself then it would continue to randomize until it did not equal it self, but this is not the case.
Code:
function loading_function(a:Number){
imageNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
trace("this variable equals..." + a);

if (health>500) {[code].........
I was wondering if there is a code i can use to replace the 10 with a random number between say 1-10.(Ergo when the script triggers the health is decreased with something between 1-10 instead of the set nr 10)

I've been making a game sort of like Four Second Fury (Frenzy and Firestorm). Im right now just at the begging process and i've come across a problem that i cant quite figure out whats going on =/. Heres what i have.
[Code]....
When i run it, myDisplay never changes it always stays at 0. I made a new Flash Document and I tried doing this but instead it was onRelease() and it worked just fine. So i was wondering if there was anyway i could do this without using the onRelease() method.
