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.
View 11 Repliesbut 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

I have a script that when the use types in their name, it is to pick a random name from the list. Problem is, it isn't picking random exactly I get a lot of repeats and sometimes it just comes up undefined.
Here is the script
if (combobox.getSelectedIndex() == 0)
{
txt2.text = "Female Name";
female.play();

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:

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.
View 4 RepliesFor example, when users are connecting to this application they are given a userid var, then it's inserted into the array. So, i'm using chosenUser = usersOnlineArray[Math.round((Math.random()*usersOnlineArray.length))]; to pick another random user. But i need to make sure it doesn't pick the userID they personally were assigned so they don't end up getting themselves. how would i use that code but tell it to "remember, make sure you dont pick userid" maybe I could do something like

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];

This is something I used to know how to do in the first versions of actionscript, but I've been away from flash for a few years and am utterly lost. What I want to do is to get the movie to display random images (from a selection) for random amounts of time (subject to minimum and maximum times).

I tried putting a comma to seperate the labels, but that just makes it play the whole movie.
