I'm trying to create an effect where you have a paragraph, and randomly the letters just start to disappear, but the other letters don't shift? So example:
"Hello world" does this "H ll w ld" until there are no more characters?
I have several textfields, and on each one I�d like to have a random letter to appear. No ciclying, just to appear.
Id tought about putting a letter on each frame of a movie clip and making the frame random, but maybe the letters beeing danamic could make the swf lighter.
I'm trying to make 4 movie clips/cycling letters for the lowercase alphabet. 3 random letters and one to stop on an indicated letter, i.e. "a" . I'm trying to make a letter recognition game for a class project, the aim is to have 3 random letters as well as the letter that was in an earlier screen pointed out.
View 1 RepliesI am making a game where random letters and words are generated into movieclips, thats the background. I built it using arial as my font, however I then decided to go with a fixed width font to make sizing the movieclips to the words much more straightforward. Yesterday this worked fine, the font i am using (Liberation Mono) is installed on my computer, all the textboxes which use this font have the character embedding on them, and I have not changed any of the movieclips, only non-relevant code. So I run it up again today and none of the words appear. Thinking it might be some code changes I made I go thourhg tracing out everything, only to find the wrds are being generated, and written to the textbox absolutely fine. I switch back to Arial just as a check and bang it works again.
View 1 RepliesI have a string value that is always 8 digits long. I need to shuffle the letters in a random sequence, for example the word actionscript must become something like ptcsacointr. The sequence of shuffling can be anything. Anyone have an idea how i can do this? Oh yes, the shuffle cannot be random. it must be a set sequence that is always used...

View 27 RepliesI'm trying to create a keypad, that when the number buttons are clicked, it will show the corresponding numbers in a textfield.
I'm also trying to get a random 6 digit number to appear in another textbox and when both the random textfield and keypad textfield are compared and found identical, it will go on to another frame.
Now! the problem is two fold:
1) the random number function isnt displaying the random number in the textfield. the text field is dynamic and called guessStringText. Heres the code im using for that..
var guessStringText:Number = getRandom(); //this is in the main fla
public function getRandom():Number { //this function is in an external AS3 file
var high:Number = 000001;
var low:Number = 999999;

Code:

I've got an inputfield.OnChange Event Handler.When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like: t32t43g

View 2 RepliesI know how to catch usual lowercase letters. I'm using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and compare the code to the ASCII table to find out which key was pressed. Now, I also want to be able to find out if there is, for example SHIFT+A pressed, and I have no idea how to implement this. I mean, in my program SHIFT and A are absolutely different keys which have nothing to do with each other, and they both will call KeyboardEvents when pressed. In Georgian alphabet some letters are typed by combination of SHIFT and English letters, for example W on Georgian keyboard means წ, when SIFT+W means ჭ. Absolutely different letters, as you can see. And I want to be able to catch both, coz I'm currently developing Georgian-language game.

View 5 RepliesFor a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.
