ActionScript 3.0 :: Limit Amount Of Times Number Is Used In Its Random Range?
Apr 1, 2011
Create a 12x9 grid;Populate the cells with random numbers ranging from 1-9;Assign a symbol (custom graphic) to each cell depending upon which random number is generated in it;Limit the amount of times each number in the random range is used to 12.My question is simply this: how do I, using AS3, create a random number function that will only use each number in its range a maximum of 12 times (it is important to note that my grid consists of 108 cells using the numbers 1-9 exactly 12 times each)? So for example, if the random number function populates 12 cells with the number "4," it will then exclude that number from its remaining iterations.I am adhering to OOP standards so including script in actual timeline frames is not desirable.
I've got a presentation that continually reads an XML and displays content based on that. It works fine for 2-3 hours then just stops. No errors, just stops.
What I'm doing is adding and removing eventListeners throughout the process using two alternative loader objects.
I have a single line for my XML gallery,that I'm have a few troubles with.I want to tell the gallery that after it has loaded all the thumbnails; to perform a function on the the 5th thumbnail up to the 40th.gal["thumb"+(5+random(40))].gotoAndStop(2);So far, I've just managed to tell it to randomly select any thumbnails from 5 to 40. I need EVERY thumbnail from 5 to 40.
I'm trying to come up with a function that can give me an array of unique random numbers based on a range. If they don't fit within that range then it keeps check until it return the correct array of numbers.
Unfortunately I just keep getting an constant loop that crashes flash.
ActionScript Code: var positions:Array = []; function uniqueRandomNumber(max:Number, min:Number, len:int, range:int = 100):void {
[Code].....
uniqueRandomNumber( 200, 0, 6, 40 );
I want to make sure that all numbers are 40 apart from each other
I want to animate an image inside a movieclip with frame label animate1, animate2, animate3 and animate4.I did manage to generate random numbers but my concern is that I want my animation will not animate same image twice, below is my code.
really great job done in the forum This is my first thread here, and i would like to ask how can someone produce a random number within a complex range.In my case i want to produce a random number in the range [0,90]OR[270,359] and i can't find the way to do this using Math.random . I looked on the internet but in most cases a simple range is used like (2,40) or [4,50] etc.
I have an object which I want to rotate between -45 and 45 degrees, but I want that to be based on the mouse position. If the mouse position is at zero, I want the object to be at -45 degrees. If the mouse position is at the stageWidth, I want the object to be at 45 degrees. How would I accomplish this?
How do you generate a random number within a given limit using the ActionScript? Suppose the limit is 1-100. Can you Answer me the explanation too
I want to something put in the twitter or facebook, it wil just moves up n down (i.e moving the placing the object).. For that we need to generate the random numbers r8
I was taking this tutorial, >>LINK<< I want to change it from, Code: on (click) {
Duplicate Movie clip to, Code: onClipEvent (Load) {
That way once it load's it will duplicate the circle MC a random number of times. This circle MC is inside of another MC so it wouldnt be _root i want it to goto, it would be t_mc that I want it to look for it in.
So in the t_mc MC I put this code, Code: onClipEvent (load) { i = i + 1; duplicateMovieClip (t_mc.circle, "circle" + i, i); }
And on the circle, I put this code, Code: onClipEvent (load) { scale = (random(100) + 50) this._x = random(250); this._y = random(150); [Code] .....
I'm trying to limit the range with which a movieclip can be moved on the stage using the mc_name._y = mc_name._y + 10. I'm thinking of using a if/else statement but I can't figure out the proper way to write the code.I don't want my movieclip to be able to be moved off the stage completely.Here is the code so far:
zoomin.onRelease = function () { tellTarget("a") {[code].....
is there a limit to the amount of things you can ask AS3 to do in a single frame? right now i have 10 buttons in a frame, each pulls a url for a link from an external xml. however, they only actually link if only 5 of them exisit in as3.
I'm struggling to get to grips with AS3 and I was needing to make my project looping 3 times from the start to the end but stopping on the last frame after the 3rd time it loops. I know how to do it in AS2 but that seems to be useless now!
I've been trying to build a kind of 'weapon generator' for part of a project I'm working on but I've hit a wall. I've been using a hell of a lot of functions in my little program but for no (apparent) reason, it's generating a lot of errors.
[Code]...
I've had this problem for a while now and I've looked for a long time on how to solve it. Is there any kind of limit to the amount of button functions I can create? Do I need to tweak any AS3 settings? Does Flash CS5 despise me?
A have a big chunk of dynamic text (from a db). From this text i am making a .pdf. So i would like to limit the amount of outputted text as a page can run out of space.
I have tried to do it with search and replace. But the problem is that it counts only characters instead of characters in combination with whitespace and the number of lines.
There is space for 100 characters/spaces on each line, and a total of 38 lines on one page.
So i am thinking of something like this: * count all new lines represented by
* count all characters/whitespaces dived to the number of lines to check if this fits the number of (as it uses wordwap)
Anyone with bright ideas on how to approach this?
(btw. TextField.maxChars will not work as it's dynamic text...)
find out if a number, say 20, is within x number of pixels to a second number, say 10? I want to record a mouse up position and if it's within 20 piles of the mouse down, on the y axis, something happens.
I have a pendulum that swings infinitely. I'd like to set the maximum angle to a random amount to give it a sort of "blown by a random wind" effect. I'm not great at code, so I can't figure out how to randomize "maxAngle" without making the animation jerky. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Here is my code and FLA...
Dear Guys I Want To Generate A Random Number Between 2 Number BUT Without Generating 2 Same Number I Mean If For Example Already Generated Number "2" Next Time Did Not Generate It , Is There Any Solution
so what i understand from this im learning flash from [URL] tutorials and no matter how many times i listen to each word the guy says, i dont understand this part in the vid, we are making a die to roll from 1-6 although the code below is not the finali
I'm trying to start an animated loop from one of the defined frame labels. My code on frame 1 is:
[Code]...
Unfortunately, it's not working and the animation plays through normally. At the end I have a gotoAndPlay(2); command so it doesn't reread the code again.
I'm trying to figure out how to generate random colors but within a particular range.In my application I have to allocate a random color to an unknown number of movieclips.I can do this ok but sometimes I'm wind up with a very ugly combination of colors like bright yellow and purple for examples.How can I generate random colors within a particular "range" I guess is the word for it?
