View 3 RepliesI got some issues trying to watch Lee's Advanced Flash preloader tutorial. The video stops in the begining, cant download full file too. Stops when he begins to explain about the bandwidth.
View 1 RepliesSo i watched his awesome tutorial on Advanced RollOvers http:[url]....
, Downloaded the source files, and extracted the files, it plays perfectly with the extracted .SWF file. but upon opening the .fla, and re-generating the.SWF file i get this output error
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_frame' doesnt seem to be a normal object of [object ticket_1] or a registered special property.
how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
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.
Generate four random numbers with the total of the four numbers equal to100?[code]...
View 8 Replieswhat is the syntax to pick how can i pick 6 random numbers from 49 numbers
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
{
return Math.round(Math.random() * (1+max - min) + min);
}
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 have 6 buttons aligned horizontally. When I press one button, I want all of the buttons to move to different _X positions with easing that would be specified in an array or in a variable. I'm looking for the easiest code. I had the code and a fla. for this a few years ago when I was deep into Flash, mastering actionscript. Now, it's like starting over.
Also, can anyone assist me with a similar, more advanced code? It's the same as above, but when one presses a button, that button pressed would move to a specified _X position, and the button that was previously in that _X position would get back in line, to the far left of all the buttons...
Let me explain - on my upcoming website (in a year, maybe?) i'll have some sort of cartoon character walking above my contents - and I want his charcter to be smooth and actionscripted. However his movements should be done as a curved motion path would, but random.Now random movement will either: a) get you to one point and then to the other, but making a sharp turn or b) have no coordination in movement (good for making a bee fly but not for anything else).here's what im trying to do:
transform straight lines movement (random):
to something smoother
something inside me tells me it's got something to do with cos and sin functions but I've no idea how to make that work.And I don't want to do motion path because I need to do actions that rule that out.
did the tutorial on my pc (mac) and de .swf work, but if i upload it, it does not run either.Another question. is it possible that the random movement may only occur in a specific area of the movie
View 2 RepliesI tried to remake the random movement tutorial [URL] but at the end the objects stayed all at the same place. So I downloaded the fla at the bottom of the page and when I previewed the animation it also did not work. I use Flash MX on a Windows XP pc.
View 1 RepliesI'm helping w/ the website at our church and came across the "Flash Random Quotes" tutorial here on kirupa.com at:url..How can I do something like this, but I want the quotes to randomly display about every 10 seconds, as long as the page is open.I don't want to only have one, single random quote on page load.I'm tasked to have a random display of ongoing "testimonies" on our church website. Right now, I'm using jquery, but it's quirky (as you can see below), but the worst thing is, it isn't random - it loads the testimonies in order that they are listed in the sidebar.php file. So, everybody that visits reads the same few testimonies at the beginning, and doesn't see the other ones.I'd rather try and use Flash to pull random testimonies from the quotes file ... but I don't want it to only show one ... I want it to show a random testimony, then about 10 seconds later, show another random one, etc.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip with a grid of 9 squares (3x3) what i would like to do is have each square move either on the x or y axis into a position of another square (like one of those puzzles where you move the tiles around to form a picture...) a random square in a random direction at random intervals.I have tried editing the random movement tutorial on Kirupa, but i cannot get the effect i need.url...
View 2 RepliesI followed the Random Quote Tutorial, pretty self explanatory really as all the tutorials are. is simple to have a whole bunch of words, load them randomly into a text box and then animate that text box randomly on the stage. So for example I'd have 'BLAH' loaded into a random area on the stage (or a specific set of coords if needs be) and then 'BLAH' would scale up from zero to fade out into _alpha=0 and a massive scale.
The problem I'm having is that whilst I can follow the random quote tutorial that relies on pressing a button to trigger the quote being loaded, thats my first problem. How to load the random word into this text box to then be displayed on the screen, do something with that text box (the animation) then loop back round once its finished. I'm assuming I get this by....if textbox._alpha = 0 then go back to the beginning type thing?!

The random motion tutorial works just perfectly with one movieclip, but when I try to make a new movie clip and assign the same code to it, it really doesn't duplicate at all. The original movieclip has an instance name of dot so I created a new movieclip with instance name of dottwo.But for some reasob the following code doesn't duplicate the dottwo at all
i = 0;
while (i<25) {
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+i, i);

How do I get random number between a range?Meaning: I want to pick a random number between 10 and 20, for example.Later, I may want a random number between 50 and 100, obviously excluding all numbers <50.
View 10 Repliesi'm just trying to do something really basic and I'm stumped.all i want to do is create a radom number onEnterFrameits to go at the end of a game i've made and the score will be radom at the end screenso far I have this below but it will not stop it just keeps going and going i've put stop(); in but that does not seem to work. I know its simple but I just can't see it.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
display = Math.round (Math.random (10)*9)+1;
}

I am creating a game for kids, which shows them how to tell the timeI need to put two random numbers into a textfield one for hours and one for minutesso that I can get the app to say show me 13:45 for examplehowever I do not want to include the time of 12:00 as this is where the clock will start and defeats the purposethe clock is 24 hour, going from 1-24 in hoursand 00-60 in minutesive looked everywhere on how to do this but cannot find an answerat the moment i have a textfield which displays the time as the user adds hours etc which i plan to hideso that i can say if this random number textfield is equal to the time textfield then display correct and so on
View 27 RepliesI'm generating a random number between min and max with this code:return min + (max - min) * Math.random();And it works. However, the random numbers are very little usually between "1 or 3" even if the max is 80.

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]

Basically what I need to do is I'm populating a library with a for loop with specific clips that need to be in a random order but never duplicates.So basically, it get selects a random number between 1-6 and if that number hasn't been selected yet, it will run it will use it as my integer in my for loop then continue running the loop until numbers 1-6 have all been used, but never used twice.
