ActionScript 3.0 :: Animate A Movieclip To A Random Location On Stage Every 5 Seconds
Aug 6, 2009
supposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do... how i should go about this...
ActionScript Code:
var randomXPosition:int;
var randomYPosition:int;
var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..

I am working on a flash file that imports xml data. This data gets run through a for loop and each xml child gets its own movieclip called menuItem. Then the various instances of menuItem are randomly placed on the stage. However, they always overlap to some extent. I don't want this.
So, how would I make sure they don't overlap? I looked at the hitTest function but it seems to require 2 different movieclips to check for the collision. I only have one movieclip with multiple instances.

I am having trouble on my Flash assignment which due on Monday, for the assignment, I am goingt to make a game, similar to the classic aracade game, Asteroids. They provided some basic code for the timing and rotation of asteroids, the behavior of the asteroids is appear randomly (but not moving) in the stage every five seconds with rotation, that's already been done by the code provided.

I have 3 mc's in my library each with linkage "icon1", icon2", icon3". What I'm trying to do is load one of them randomly in to the stage. Here's the code I have so far:
Code:
//creating an array that holds the mcs
var iconsarray:Array = new Array("mc1","mc2","mc3");
//creating a random number to use for loading the mc
var randmc:Number = Math.round (Math.random ()*2)+0;
//this is just a string to hold the mc with the number, not used
var all:String = (iconsarray[randmc]);

I'm working on a project where I have to load multiple movie clips and center them on the stage.
PHP Code:
loaded_clip._x = Stage._width/2;loaded_clip._y = Stage._height/2;
Unfortunately, in this case that doesn't cut it. The move clips I'm loading all have different registration points, and they end up looking anything but centered. Is there a way to center them based on some other factor other than the registration point, so that they look centered?

I have 16 instances of one movie clip on the stage and each one has their own unique instance name. The movie clips have a nested animation and I want each clip to play randomly. I'm familiar with the Math.random class, but not for animating clips. Here is what I have so far:
Code:
var turkeyArray:Array = new Array();
turkeyArray[0] = turkey1_mc;
turkeyArray[1] = turkey2_mc;
turkeyArray[2] = turkey3_mc;
turkeyArray[3] = turkey4_mc;
[Code] .....
What goes in here to play each instance randomly?

How to add random movie clip to stage from many different movie clips in library? If I wanted to add one movie clip to stage I would do liko so:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
function onMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip = new Ball();
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
addChild(mc);
}
Code above works perfect but I tried following but with no success, no errors, but nothing happens - no mc's are added to stage. I have 6 movie clips in library and they all are linked, exported for actionscript. On MouseOver I want to add random movie clip from those six movie clips to the stage.
Code:
var myArray:Array = [mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onLoop);
function onLoop(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i< myArray.length; i++) {
var randomMc:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[randomMc];
addChild(mc);
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
}}

I am looking for a way to remove a movieclip from the stage when it is dropped (after a pause) and then have a new random movieclip appear at a specific point on the stage, which can then be dragged and dropped onto its own target (which repeats the process).
Code:
var movieArray:Array = new Array();
movieArray = ["Red", "Green" , "Blue"];[code].....

I was wondering if anyone has any input on my question.I've been trying to figure out for a few hours now how to make words or sentences animate in and "pause" for a few seconds (for the user to read) and then continue to play. I know I can tween it, but I wanted to do it via actionscript. I got it to animate in and come out but i couldn't figure out how to have it hold for a few sec. I will have more than one sentence animate in and out.

I have the below code used to create a random number every 3 seconds and then have the timeline go whatever numbered frame the random number comes to. It works. However when I trace the randNum, I see that it is generating more and more random numbers during the interval. For ex, first it generates one random number every 3 seconds... but then it starts generating more than one per every 3 seconds. how can this be? Isn't the function supposed to run once every 3 seconds?
setInterval(createRandom,3000);
function createRandom() {
minNum = 1;
maxNum = 3;
randNum = Math.ceil (Math.random () * (maxNum - minNum + 1)) + (minNum - 1);
trace (randNum);
_root.gotoAndPlay (randNum);
};

I'm having a problem with embedding a Flash movie that loads an array of SWFs- specifically, ones that exist in the same movie as the .fla loader file. When I move the external SWFs and .swf load_movie file into a separate directory from the HTML file, they do not load properly. I get just a white window. [URL]. When I keep the SWF movie clips and load_movie.swf in the same (root) folder as the .html file, then everything loads properly, though. But this would extremely clutter up my directory!
The code is as follows:
MovieClip on Stage
onClipEvent(data){
//test to make sure it's completely loaded, when swf's load this way onData is called with each 'chunk' of data
if(bytesLoaded()==bytesTotal()){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(_currentframe==_totalframes){
_root.loadNextMovie()
[Code] .....
I 'm not sure if there is a way in loadMovie to specify another folder, or the best way to solve this problem. I'm relatively new to Actionscript.

This code produces a random clip from an array. I need it to loop every 3 seconds. Is this possible?
arr = ["strandA","strandT","strandC","strandG"];
arr.sort(function(){return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)-1});
var clip = arr[0];
this.attachMovie(clip,clip,1,init);

I have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc etc
