ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild Random Position Contraints

Oct 20, 2011

I'm trying to code addChilld to spawn a movie clip at a random x position and then have it spawn at a random y but constrained so it only spawns between say 200 and 400 (on an 800x600 stage).

I've got it spawning at a random x, its just the constrained y

Heres the code I have so far: (Note: This is only for the function with addChild)

Code:
function addShape():void{
var obj:Objects=new Objects();
obj.x = Math.random()*stage.width;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Y Position Results In Random Position

Nov 8, 2010

I've run into a new problem, this time with positioning. I've narrowed down the line that's causing it--"block.y = block.y + block.height;" in SetOfBlocks.shiftDown. When I take it out, no problem. But with it in, instead of just dropping each block down by a block height, the affected blocks sometimes move up, and also often move about randomly within the X axis--although their new positions always keep them lined up with the 'grid', which is to say, within multiples of the block height and widths.

Actionscript 3.0 :: AddChild And Cascade Position?

Aug 10, 2009

I have a customized colorpicker that will be added to the stage dynamically depending on what movieclip is in a particular frame - so to ease coding, I've created a class with all my customizations and wish to add a label, dynamically, to each colorpicker. However, here is the issue, I can't seem to add the label to the stage because the colorpicker keeps reporting it's positions as x = 0 and y = 0.to add the label to the stage in a relative manner fails.

Code: Select all
myPicker = new ColorPicker();
myPicker.x = 30;

I need to know how to get it so every time I press the button it adds the movieclip after the last one, almost like appending a list. Does anyone know how I would do this?Do I use an array or does flash have some sort of table feature?

I did the random x and y but they end up overlapping, i assume i have to do it with the hitTestObject, but eventually i will have 7 layers with 50mc's on each stage that need to be positioned randomly without overlapping and it will become processor heavy to test these objects.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using A Loop To Duplicate And Random X Position?

Oct 5, 2007

got some code working to duplicate a movieclip, but what I'd really like to do is obviously randomise the movieclip's x position so that it spreads across the stage, rather than stacking in the same position as it is now.

Code:
for (i=1; i<11; i++){
duplicateMovieClip("alien", "alien_new_"+i, 22-10, i);

I've creating a drag and drop card game in AS 2.0 and need to set the cards randomly in set positions every time the game is played. no two cards can be in the same space, so the taken position needs to be taken out of the array.I am not concerned about the Y value just X . I think this needs to be an array containing the positions. then using slice to remove the value from the array. I'm not sure how to assigned the array position to the movie clip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Position MovieClips On Stage Without Overlapping?

Nov 15, 2010

I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
