as we know, the Timer class flash gives us does not support any pause/unpause functionality. if you stop and then start a timer, it resarts at the beginning of it's interval period, advancing the repeat counter once. sometimes you want to pause the timer mid-interval, and resume from where you left off I have seen one attempt at a custom timer subclass that supports pause/unpause, but it was pretty shaky anyone actually nailed this?
View 4 RepliesFirst time with a TIMER and get the error message. 1120: Access of undefined property timerForSounds. BUT I have imported the correct classes I think and the code is exactly the same as I see it everywhere else.

What i need to do is to randomize the variable named: randomCard if randomCard doesnt equal any value of myCards array. (randomize again if the value of randomCard isnt in the myCards array)
obviously youll notice that in this part of the code: while (randomCard != myCards); myCards isnt correctly defined
Code:
private var myCards:Array = [0,2,4];
do {
randomCard = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);

how can you randomize the results of an array in a for loop?
I am loading data in via xml and when doing a for loop to iterate through instead of showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ect... how can i randomize for [i] ? If i do it in the for loop it keeps doing the randomizing and gets stuck and if after things are already loaded. how is it done?

Im loading in xml video playlist. After one video is done, I want to load next video in random order, but without repeating. The code below works - it is loading next random video from an xml array, but even if it adds random videos - they do repeat. How to make it to load random videos without repeating?
ActionScript Code:
var total:Number = xml.video.length();
var randomNum:uint = 0;

How do I get the following to weight the randomize results 3 to 1 (or 4 to 1) in favor of the Dog?
ActionScript Code:

The randomization is working just great, but now client wants to weight the results.
How would you randomize a specific set of values in a array? For example:

testArray[A , B , C , D , E]
I would like to Flash to only randomize value B C D.
I have an array that I want to shuffle but at different percentages. Like "Hello" would show up 80% in the Output window. "Bye" would show the other 20% of the time.[code]...
View 3 Replieswhen the line of code "koan.shuffle();" is commented out swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc are loaded properly into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage, albeit not randomized. (Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf.) Why does "koan.shuffle();" not only fail to randomize the array, but, break the entire loading process? Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = Math.floor(Math.random())(ivar+1);

I have problem with moving bitmap array on second timer loop. I think this problem is related to the loop addchild was in, not sure how to solve it. The current code does create 14 images in a strip, the problem was I couldn't move them with another timer or just outside the completeListener function.

import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

I have a function that is called from a timer event. Every time the event is called I need to create a new Array with a unique name:
Code:
var dropNumber:int = dropHead.length - 1;
var ["dropTail" + dropNumber???]:Array = new Array();
I am not sure how to dynamically change the name of an array with as3. Also, just a bonus question, is it more efficient to have a single array broken into partitioned indexes or have several arrays of data?
what I'm trying to do is Instance a rectangle and move it across the screen, and as it's moving, make more rectangles. For some reason though, it's only making one rectangle, and the timer is taking way more than what I thought would be 100 milliseconds. Any help would be appreciated. >

I'm writing a video game and I have used timers all over the place to make everything go. Now I want to be able to pause the game, completely. Meaning, I need to stop and start all timer instances at once, or globally. So I created a Timer subclass called CustomTimer, put some statics in there, came up with the attached code. Now my problem is that I'm pretty sure I've created a memory leak, in that the instances array will just grow and wont allow or gc. So, my question is, is there an "onDestroy()" method or somesuch, that I can override, and use that moment to remove instance refs from the instances array? Or, is there a smarter way to do this? an application object with a pause method perhaps?

View 6 RepliesI'm using this code I obtained from a tutorial to run an mp3 player that reads an .xml playlist. Could someone please tell me what I'd need to add/change to the code so that it plays the tracks in a random order each time the player loads - I'm not concerned about omitting repeats. I've tried adding a "random" command to the Array that holds the tracks but this didn't work.

I need to make an animation in which you are shown 5 doors. if clicked, 4 of the doors will make the screen fade out, and a message that says congratulations will pop up. however, 1 of the 5 doors will make a tiger jump out if it is clicked.however, the door that the tiger should be assigned randomly.

Does anyone know if it is possible to randomize assets in Flash. Basically I am creating a flash based application which when the user hits a target button the preceeding screen should show a completely random asset (which would be an SWF), at the moment each button is simply tagged to a particular swf, although i need it to be more random than this?

View 8 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

I have an array of 10 buttons 2 rows of 5 buttons each.
I was wondering how I might randomize the button placement,each time a randomizeButton function is called.What I mean is keep the rows but how they are lined up and showing will be different each time.
