how do can I position around 50 dynamic create movieclips from the library on the stage without overlapping.
I did the random x and y but they end up overlapping, i assume i have to do it with the hitTestObject, but eventually i will have 7 layers with 50mc's on each stage that need to be positioned randomly without overlapping and it will become processor heavy to test these objects.
I'm trying to randomly position images on the stage without having the images overlap?
View 3 RepliesHow to stop MCs from overlapping each other?
[Code]...
This doesn't seems to be working cause the amount of it checking whether MC is overlapping is about the amount of MC on stage. how to make it keep checking till everything's fine?
I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
Is it possible to attach mcs at random locations without the possiblility of them overlapping?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.

View 2 RepliesWhat I want is for my mc to slide to a new random x position when it is less than 5 pixels away from its target, it keeps doing this. the problem is for some bloody &*�$(()** reason my random numbers only keep going up!! why is this?? i want to produce random numbers between 1 and 770 - this is my code..

I've run into a new problem, this time with positioning. I've narrowed down the line that's causing it--"block.y = block.y + block.height;" in SetOfBlocks.shiftDown. When I take it out, no problem. But with it in, instead of just dropping each block down by a block height, the affected blocks sometimes move up, and also often move about randomly within the X axis--although their new positions always keep them lined up with the 'grid', which is to say, within multiples of the block height and widths.

I wanted to built an enemy that is able to move on stage randomly in xposition and perhaps able to detect my character within the detectable zone and chase after me.. but currently I just wanted to make the enemy move randomly in x-position for starter.
It is my first time making and enemy with AI, but I'm just wasn't sure where to begin, I have used a fairy easy script to animated the movieclip in the beginning but got stucks whenever it reaches 960 or below 0 of the stage
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,initGames);
function initGames(e:Event):void{
moveEnemy();
}

I am having problems with gotoAndStop and mozilla. I am loading an external swf ( which is Flash MX 2004 ) swf. In this swf, there are 200 keys frames. Here, i am using a command gotoAndStop(110). Now after publishing, when I am viewing in IE browsers, I can able to see the 110th keyframe position exactly. But when i am viewing the same html in Mozilla, I am getting random positions. Here am not getting 110th position.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to code addChilld to spawn a movie clip at a random x position and then have it spawn at a random y but constrained so it only spawns between say 200 and 400 (on an 800x600 stage).
I've got it spawning at a random x, its just the constrained y
Heres the code I have so far: (Note: This is only for the function with addChild)
Code:
function addShape():void{
var obj:Objects=new Objects();
obj.x = Math.random()*stage.width;

got some code working to duplicate a movieclip, but what I'd really like to do is obviously randomise the movieclip's x position so that it spreads across the stage, rather than stacking in the same position as it is now.
Code:
for (i=1; i<11; i++){
duplicateMovieClip("alien", "alien_new_"+i, 22-10, i);
}
I've creating a drag and drop card game in AS 2.0 and need to set the cards randomly in set positions every time the game is played. no two cards can be in the same space, so the taken position needs to be taken out of the array.I am not concerned about the Y value just X . I think this needs to be an array containing the positions. then using slice to remove the value from the array. I'm not sure how to assigned the array position to the movie clip.

I was wondering if anyone can tel me how to do the following:
I have this xml gallery embeded on my webpage. Each time the page loads I want the xml gallery to jump to a random position and display the relevant information.
I cant get this to work. I think its pretty self explanatory what I want to do, set _x to a random position (b1 - b6)
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
stop();
b1 = 462;
b2 = -462;
b3 = -1388;
b4 = -2314;
b5 = -3240;
b6 = -4166;
} onClipEvent (load) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6);
_x = ["b" + RanNum];
}
Im a 100% beginner in actionscript so heres my question, as dumb as it may sound.
I want a shape to travel from px 0 on the x-axis to px 740.
The startposition on the y-axis needs to be random, and between 140 and 180.
I have tried the following code:
startY = Math.round(Math.random()*(180-140)+140);
startX = 0;
targetX = 740;

I'm trying to find a random x,y value that always is at the far end of a circle. Like if the circle has a diameter of 300 pixels and the centerpoint is at 50,50, I want a random position on the outskirts of that circle. Just cant seem to do it.

View 2 RepliesI added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

I am using a ScrollPane in my application(viz., instance name is: myScrollPane). When I view the contents of the ScrollPane, it shows them perfectly. My issue is: When I try to view data present inside the ScrollPane, if I move the Vertical-ScrollBar of the ScrollPane to middle(or somewhere from top to down) and then click on Submit button(viz., instance name is: submit_btn), then its Vertical ScrollPosition must be reset from middle(or any position where we leave it before) to top(or initial position). Hence, I need to move the Vertical ScrollPosition of ScrollPane to top (or) initial position. Everytime, I need to refresh the VerticalScrollBar Position when I click on the submit button. How to do it?

Code:

The trace's are because it didn't work like I thought it would.Etc the middle movieclip didn't center itself but rather positioned itself seemingly how it pleased so I traced its x position and the var stageXcenter position and like suspected it shows different values.
