ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Elements From Different Kinds Of Arrays?
Aug 18, 2009
I'm trying to find the way to draw random elements from different arrays. I have three dynamic boxes (box1, box2, box3) and a button (bt_2). I have three arrays:
positiveNumbers:Array,
negativeNumbers:Array, and
fractionNumbers:Array.
I have managed to draw a random element from each array and display it on each box.
PROBLEM: When button (bt_2) is clicked, I would like each box to draw a random element from any array. However, arrays positiveNumbers and negativeNumbers are int, while fractionNumbers is Number. If I use Math.round all elements from fractionNumbers will be positiveNumbers.How to handle this?Here is my code:
// setting the arrays//
var wholeNumbers:Array = new Array (50);
var negativeNumbers:Array = new Array[code]....

I have an associative array.
Actionscript Code:
myArray = {car:"Ford",type:"Mustang"},{car:"Chevy",type:"Camaro"});
Now if I wanted to add data to the indexes how would I do it?
For instance I now want to add years 1985,and 2000 to the index 0 and 1.

I am currently making a quiz game and have an XML file which stores all the questions/answers.I then load the xml, and put all of the info into multiple arrays.
ActionScript Code:
var x = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;
x.load ("Stating The Obvious 2.xml")
[code]....
So, how would I edit the code to make the questions appear in a random order? i.e. Make the currentQuestionNumber be random while not repeating itself.Also, is it possible to make the answers appear in a random order on the screen? For example, instead of the "answer1array" element always appearing at the top and the "answer4array" element appearing at the bottom, is there a way to mix things up a bit?

I'm trying to figure out how to generate an array whose elements are each arrays to make a quick loading database of sorts.the main array could essentially be something like "employees" while each employee would have demographic data like age, salary, gender, etc.In some cases the information on some employees would be greater than others, and options created by "push" would imply the number of elements within each employee array would be variable until generated.[code]But I get the feeling this type of array as it is currently described doesn't lend itself well to adding new elements in the way I've described.My goal is once an employee's information has been entered and saved, I can call up their info by array number like aEmployee[2], and if employee 2's name is Bob, then Bob's name would appear in the text field, along with all the other fields related to Bob's array, such as being male, 42 years old, and living in Witchita Kansas.Would I modify a multidimensional array, or do I want an array within an array, and is there a way to add "arrays" as elements?

Can a TextField can contain different kinds of linebreaks?
I save and load text from an input field into an XML. I save it as CDATA tags including linebreaks.
This is what happens:
I type a text with linebreaks into the textfield I save the text to the XML I empty the textfield I load the xml into the textfield - everything looks as expected, linebreaks are present I save the exact same textfield again (the only difference this time the content was loaded and not handtyped)This time the XML does not contain any linebreaks when I load it again, the text doesn't have linebreaks
How can this be?
//here is an example that demonstrates the issue:
var xml1 = <xml>
<elm/>
</xml>;

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];
var myArray:Array = new Array();
function randomSquares():void {

i'm getting mad trying to code this mosaic grid with random sized elements : [URL] I'm quite used to normal grids, but this one is slightly different, all the elements are NOT square multiples, and once you've tried the "Shake It" button on the upper-right corner, i'm definitely lost.

I'm trying to build a bingo card, that will show random words in different locations each time you reload the page. It's 5x5 grid. I'm planning to set up 25 arrays (for each text field on my card), containing lists of the same 25 words. I have a code that pulls random words from each array into my text fields, but I can't figure out how to prevent the words from repeating on the card. A different word should be pulled out from each array.
Here is my code so far:
var words1:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];
var words2:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];
var words3:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];

So, i'm using chosenUser = usersOnlineArray[Math.round((Math.random()*usersOnlineArray.length))]; to pick another random user.

This script works. In the Output every flv is listed randomly, and then repeated. Next up i want this AS Script to work with an FLV Component.But how to I get that to work?In my library I have the 5 flvs, and flvplayback component.I dragged the FLVPlayback component to the stage, but I can only add one flv in the source. How do I get my working actionscript to work with the FLVPlayback component.how my screen looks like.

I have tried creating 4 variables with arrays with random values where there are no two variables with the same value at the same place in the array. For example, if the 27:th value in one variable is 3, then none of the other variables must have 3 as the 27:th value.I thought the part marked blue would do it (I have also tried it with the "while" exchanged for an "if").
Code:
var totalQuestions = 50;
var correctAnswers = new Array();
var wrongAnswers1 = new Array();[code]...

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

I made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.

A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.

correct syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.

I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
