ActionScript 3.0 :: Display Random Game Characters As An Individual?
Jan 13, 2011
how to display random game characters as an individual using the code below:
var bearOne = new bearMC();var bearTwo = new bearMC_2();var bearThree = new bearMC_3();var characters:Array = new Array(bearOne,bearTwo,bearThree);
var mcChar:MovieClip=characters[int(Math.random()*3)];
addChild(mcChar);
Currently, I'm looking deeper.. Let's say if I'm displaying the characters in different parts say Head, Body and Arms, etc.. How do I make sure when I randomize the characters, the correct part of each character is displayed correctly? Instead of characterOne's head appear with characterTwo's Body and characterThree's Arms for example.

I've a question to ask regarding randomization using actionscript. Given a situation where you have different designed game characters and you would like to display different characters as the player replay/restart the game. How would you go about doing so?

make an interactive flash simulation of a display that has several different settings. these need to work individually so that the user can set the different indicators to the number they want. the picture shows the two main functions; a number indicator and a status bar (kind of like the reception bar on a phone).i have tried to get .swf files to load on top of each other, but they keep erasing previous settings in other indicators. is there a way to get this to work? or maybe a completely different approach that would be smoother? or can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or a template that has this function?

how would you go about creating a random equation? i would like to randomly generate two individual numbers, a random operator (out of +, -, *, /) between these numbers and then the user would input a number to answer the equation... any thoughts on this?

Im working on a chess game replay system in flash, and in order to display comments on individual moves I am loading them from an external text file. Since one of the navigation buttons allows the game to skip to the last move I want to also recieve the number of the last move through this text file. After using loadvars all the comments are loaded correctly as strings but the variable for lastmove is not being recieved as a number. My ultimate question is whether there is a way to convert the text number into a real number which can be manipulated. If not, is there a simple way to load this data element individually as a number.

How much of an impact does import flash.display.* over individual loading make? I'm using FlashDevlop so its auto created but the list is getting huge. Is there a significant savings by not adding all of them. Or better question if its imported but not used will it be added at compile time?

I'm trying to figure out how contentLoaderInfo works; I'm trying to display 5 images on stage and place them horizontally based on their individual widths. Everything works fine except inside displayImage i remains at 5. Each width traces out correctly, but i stays at 5. What is it about contentLoaderInfo that I'm not understanding?

Im using Actionscript 3.0 and Adobe flash professional CS5 Im trying to animate a characters movement in a game im designing..Theres 8 differnt instances im going to use for the movement, I decided this upon studying NES zelda and finding his character only has 8 differnt instances for his general movement. See I want the graphics to be pixelated, just like the old games~ I like pixel games.
for example:Whenever I press the LEFT ARROW key I want two instances to switch back and forth between eachother to animate movement, and so I want it to keep doing that until movement is stopped~ as goes the same with the UP, DOWN, and RIGHT arrow keys.

I simply want to generate a series random characters. Ideally, I'd like to do that for a set of characters ending in a pre-determined word, but I'm sticking to the simple task of generating a series of random characters that can be visually seen changing in time (say for 1 second).

I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

What 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.

Does anyone know how to make a random character (preferably easily defined as alpha or numeric or both) "code" effect in AS3? Here's some examples of what I'm looking for. roughly... [URL] (both of these examples are AS 1.0) I'm making a sort of "futuristic terminal interface" and want some random numbers / characters generated on the edges. I used to know how to do this before I switched to AS3.

I was hoping to use the slider component to control some parameters in a game. However, after clicking on the slider to adjust it, the arrow keys start controlling the slider and stop controlling the character in the game. Is there a way to disable arrow key control of flash's built in slider component?

I am trying to embed a font in my actionsrcipt and the characters don't display at all when the embedFont = true. If it is set to false it displays the characters. I really need this to work because I want to maintain consistency with the font used through out the site.
The problem is that its not a common device font. The TextField is set up in another class I created and the the text formating is applied when the for loop runs in the initialization of the class I'm working in. I've tried everything I can think of and it just will not embed the font and display it.

Has anyone else run into this? I have all characters for Wingdings embedded (in Flash CS5) but the following code fails[code]...
When I set the font to "Wingdings" it displays nothing. Yes, like I said, Wingdings is embedded. I get the same results with Webdings, Wingdings 2 and 3. I don't have any problems for any other fonts I've tried with the same scenario.
I did some googling and found quite a few people having similar problems with Flash embedding wingdings. This is really frustrating. Is there really no way to get wingdings to display as dynamic text in Flash?

Does anyone know what I need to do to get a flex text control to display cyrillic characters for example. [wvxvw? hebrew?] In addtion to the main .swf (.mxml) file there are font libraries loaded that are also in a seperate .swf The text control is subclassed from Flex.Text and in a seperated .AS file. Then to top it, the actual text in cyrillic is coming from an .xml file.I've tried "<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' " in the main .mxml file and the xml file. I believe I've put Byte Order Marks (BOM's) for utf-8 in the .AS file and maybe some of the other files. I've compiled everything with specifying the utf-8 encoding as well. I get nothing where the characters are supposed to be.

I have a question about XML in flash.I have a photo gallery that utilizes XML to call out the photo as well as the caption.See XML data below:[code]This is the AS that calls for the photos and captions (The whole script is very long, so I am only going to annote the part that calls for the XML): It goes like this:[code]My problem is that the data won't display special characters.I am worried because I am using multiple languages, and as it is I am having to remove important characters from translations..I also have a second AS that calls for XML data for body copy which which works great, displays all characters in multiple languages, and allows HTML code to be used:[code]Any idea on how to get the XML for the photo gallery to display all characters?

I have a application that works by calling text from XML into flash. The only problem I seem to have now is that some of the text is in french so some of the characters don't get displayed. When I go to the embed option and select all glyphs it makes the font go bold and fuzzy.Is there anyway to display the characters though code or without effecting the actual look of the text?
