but I've spent the last few days trying to find an answer to this seemingly simple question, and no luck. Well, partial luck, but not quite what I wanted.My problem is this - I want to play a random sound when an event happens. In AS2, I used to do this:Actionscript Code:s1 = new Sound();_root.s1.attachSound("sound"+(random(10)+1));s1.start();...where there would in this example be 10 sounds in the library, with names from sound1 to sound10.Now, I want to be able to do the same in AS3. As a temp solution, I've been forced to do a lot of if statements, but that's ugly, timeconsuming and inefficient.I also tried this (AS3):
Actionscript Code:
var soundArray:Array = new Array(new sound1(),new sound2(),new sound3(),new sound4(),new sound5()) var randomInteger:int var selectedSound:Sound function

How can I pick random frame from movie clip, so that mc doesn't loop. Movie clip is a symbol. I made symbol defined it as mc, mc contains 4 frames, each frame contains some object.

i got an XML File with a set of variables which should be chosen randomly. Of course, if one data set has been selected, it should not come up again. to solve this, i created an array called blacklist, which keeps track of all the xml indexes which have allready been selected. so, what i'm doing in f_newtarget is randomize a number between 0-42 and check if it on the blacklist. if it is, i trace "double" and want to restart, and if it is not, write the randomized index to the blacklist and move my target to the coordinate given in the XML.
whats not working is when i get a double event. it traces the "double" but does not start to randomize again. i think i know why, cuz the action is only triggered by pushing the button. but in the case taht the randomized number is allready in the array, i want it to automatically re-randomize r until it finds a value which has not part of the array. what do i have to write in order for the code to jump back to where it randomizes the variable r?
or should i write like a whitelist array from which i randomely deduct the indexes? i have a button which holds the code for selecting a new question. it looks like this:

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do now is have 6 characters on stage (these characters are stored in an array) and 2 characters from this 6 will hold a number each and the other 4 will hold an alphabet each. What I want to do is to run this file many times and each time the each alphabets and numbers will be randomly displayed within these 6 characters there will always be 2 numbers and 4 alphabets but I shouldn't know which character will be holding an alphabet and which will be holding a number. I have only two functions now one function is to generate two random numbers to indicate which index of characters to pick to hold a number and then another for loop that run 6 times to addChild on stage.

There is an array 'squares' with instance names of MCs that i have on stage. I made a loop to randomize this array, so that every time the randomSquares() function is called, it would show different visible squares. But the problem is that if i call this function twice, same squares are visible as before. Everytime before calling this randomSquares() function, I also call a resetSquares() function.
var squares:Array = [s1, s2, s3,s4, s5, s6, s7, s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15, s16, s17, s18, s19, s20, s21, s22];

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to load sound dynamically into a clip and then play it randomly. The AS I came up with works great if the sound is embedded and I use the .attachSound() method instead of loadSound(). Now, when I load it dynamically and use the code below, the sound plays very fast and at a higher pitch.

crows.loadSound("Raven.mp3", false);

I'm working on a new AS3 project in Flash CS4. This is my second major project, and for some reason, when I enter a new frame, a sound from my library plays when it's not supposed to. It plays once, when I enter the frame. The thing is, there's no code that would initiate it to do so. In my first major project, it did the same thing. I figured I screwed something up since it was my first project, and ignored it -[code]...

View 2 RepliesI am working on a piece now that will have 10 invisible MC's (1-10) stacked on frame 1 in seperate layers that function like buttons on the main timeline. Each of these mc's will trigger a corresponding mc (A-J) to become visible and play and also start a sound file. This I have all worked out.
What I am writing about is a random function. When 1 triggers A, I would like one of five distinct MC's inside of A to be randomly selected to play, both with sound and with image.
Right now I'm working on the random function with sound, and I'm in need of soome assistance. I'm not sure of my approach, but why I'm stuck in particular now is because ususally when attaching a sound to an MC, when the sound is called it is through the name of the sound rather than the mc name and as I've created a random function I can't very well call the sound name as then it won't be random. Here's what I've got:
sound1 = new Sound(soundHolder1_mc);
sound1.attachSound("chime");
sound2 = new Sound(soundHolder2_mc);
sound2.attachSound("psychic");

I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction to be able to load in a random sound clip (from a set of 5 or more mp3s) when the user rolls over a button. I can't seem to find a way to do this.

I have 30 sound clips, each named s1, s2, s3 etc...
i want to create an array so when it enters the frame it will play a random sound from the array.
I'm looking for a way to play a sound with slightly altering pitch to make it more "interesting" (read: tolerable).
I've previously used it with great results in java programming with the Slick library. Simply asked the sound to be played at 0.9 - 1.1 of original pitch (1 = default), gave a subtle but awesome effect.
I've designed an interactive quiz that has 10 questions, and for each question 3 possible answers (obviously only one of which is right), however I'd like to add some sound to certain questions and a small video clip. The only issue I'm having, and I've not been able to get my head around. I've loaded all the questions and answers into arrays, and used the random function to display them in a different order each time, and because of this I'm having trouble figuring out how I'll be able to implement the use of sound and video into the project.
I'll post the code so far below as to give a better idea of what I'm trying to do, and what I've done so far.

I have a foreign language resource which randomly creates and displays a number. The player then needs to select the correct number in a particular foreign language. What i also need to do is play the audio for the randomly created number. I have numbers 13-20 all as seperate sound files also named as identifier names 13,14,15 etc up to 20.
The following script loads the sounds. Sound1 is the sound which needs to hold the random number which is generated:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load){
Sound1 = new Sound();
rndClip = ????????;

I need to load this array as Sound1 so that the correct sound file plays to match the random number.
I am a voice over artist and I'd like to have a button and when you click it, it loads one of say 20 mp3s stored...wherever. It can be in the flash movie itself...but I'd rather the script access a directory on my server, that way the movie itself doesn't take long to load.

I've got a movieclip(we'll call this "A") on my stage, which attaches another movieclip("B") into itself. So it's nested.Now, once this movieclip("A") has attached the other movieclip("B") into itself,It uses a "gotoAndStop()" to send the frame of movieClip("B") to the right frame, eg. frame 2. Then it runs a loop which checks for all movieclips in "B" and populates an Array.The script I'm using for this is :
Code:
for (var i=0; i<h.numChildren; i++) {// This loop is suppose to populate my "bitArray" Array with all of the attached clip's childclips
if (h.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip) {[code]....
if there were 22 MovieClips on frame 2 in movieClip"B" , this code would still be able to populate my array with all 22 clips right?It doesn't. For some reason, if there were 22 clips, then out of the 22, the loop would only pick up 9. However, doing a trace with numChildren() in movieClip"B", it would still show 22. But my array would only show 9.I've attached a sample fla, I think it would explain my problem a lot better.Once you run it, it should spit out an output telling you how many movieclips in the attached movieclip, and it'll tell you how many clips it pushed onto the array.I can't seem to get the number of movieclips in my array to equal the number of clips in total inside my attached movieclip.
