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.
View 2 RepliesWhat 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.

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.

View 8 RepliesI 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).
View 3 RepliesI need to generate random numbers between 1 and 20 with a heavy emphasis on the one between 1 and 5, a light emphasis on 5-10, and a low emphasis on 10-20. I don't understand all the fancy probability words and all the stuff they say in the articles I've come across.
View 3 RepliesI'm traying to generate some random numbers: All numbers must be even and they cant be the same twice.Here is my code:
var number = new Array();
function numbers() {
var num = Math.ceil(Math.random()*10);
if ((num%2) != 0) {

Is it possible to generate random number like:
gotoAndPlay(Math.ceil(Math.random() *4));
But instead of a range have them like .. 40 OR 55 OR 78. Not 0-10 (range)
I've got movie clips on certain frames on my main time line, what I would like is to randomly play these.
I want to generate random numbers between 1 and 15 and place them in a datagrid contain one column and five rows in it, i want to populate this entire column with random numbers that are generated but not repeating in that column..
every time app runs the column is populated with random numbers b/w 1 and 15.
Looking to generate random numbers b/w 0 and 19 with no duplicates to be put in Array.
View 6 RepliesSo I a few badges (MovieClips)!
The main idea is to generate a collection of badges with random numbers associated to them.
This is what I did up to now:
I created two different MovieClip badges, and exported them for ActionScript as Badge and BadgeHover
Within the BadgeHover the label has been transformed into a class with instance name "score".
How do I access this label and change the displayed score?
Do I need to remove and add a new label every time?
What is the best way to add "hover effects"?
What I have is kind of inefficient, I am destroying and recreating the BadgeHover whenever the mouse hovers the Badge class.
How can I generate random negative and positive numbers?
math.random generates only positive ones.

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?

View 9 RepliesI am generating random numbers between two numbers by the code bellow:
ActionScript Code:
public function randomRange(max:Number, min:Number = 0):Number
{

}
trace(randomRange(3,-31));
But I need a code which will return some times '3' and some times '-31'. Not the number between them.
I have been trying to figure out a good strategy to perform a bitmap crop using Actionscript3. For example: I have a picture of a car and I want to crop out the car from the image alone and feather the edges so that they do not look jagged.
I am a flash noob and have only been using it for a couple of weeks. I've tried a couple of options and here is the last one that I have come up with it: I place red dots on stage that are draggable so that you can outline the object you want to crop and the dots are the bounds for a gradientFill that is used as the bitmap's mask. (I am using a radial gradient ... so the results are far from what I want, since the car is not an oval).
[Code]...
1) How can I fade just the edges of this custom-shaped fill outlined by the red dots?
2) I want to save the image out to a file once it's cropped. What strategy would be better for doing this using a BitmapFill or a GradientFill as a Mask (If it's possible with both)?
3) I may be using this strategy to crop faces later on.. anyone know of any good face detection APIs for as3? (also edge detection APIs)
Recently a client of mine decides he wanted rounded edges for his page vs. the typical square edges. This was after the initial design and at the point where it is almost complete.I told the client that in order to do this we would have to go to a full Flash web page meaning a full browser Flash page (everything is already flash).Now I told him that we could do this but because it was a new design and as you know that there is much involved in doing something like this i.e. all the paths will have to be changed because it will have to reside inside a mc etc.if there is an actual way to make the stage rounded only for future knowledge.I know I can make a round edge square or rectangle but it still has square edges at outer edge of the stage.
View 5 RepliesMaking a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
View 2 RepliesBasically I need the "image" of fast changing numbers. I am planning on having a series of these in a line, sort of like the matrix (how the numbers change repeatedly). I want them to basically generate the numbers 0-9 over and over pretty fast (sort of like milliseconds on a stopwatch), until I have them fade out.

View 1 RepliesOn the stage I have:
Textfield called "inputTXT".
And a button called "Go".
All I am trying to accomplish here is to have the input characters validated to be ONLY numbers and max 5. However, I don't want to use:"inputTXT.restrict = "0123456789". Instead I would like to check if the characters entered after pressing the "go" btn, are within the defined parameters above (numbers and max5). If yes, then I need to pass a URL, if not then I need to display an error message.
The fonts are not embedded, right? text is substitute by numbers and characters?
