What i need to do is to randomize the variable named: randomCard if randomCard doesnt equal any value of myCards array. (randomize again if the value of randomCard isnt in the myCards array)
obviously youll notice that in this part of the code: while (randomCard != myCards); myCards isnt correctly defined
Code:
private var myCards:Array = [0,2,4];
do {
randomCard = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);

how can you randomize the results of an array in a for loop?
I am loading data in via xml and when doing a for loop to iterate through instead of showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ect... how can i randomize for [i] ? If i do it in the for loop it keeps doing the randomizing and gets stuck and if after things are already loaded. how is it done?
just wanted to share this, some months ago i was looking all over the web for an array content randomizer and found none, yesterday i was reading a book about AS3 and after finishing the arrays chapters tough of this:

Im loading in xml video playlist. After one video is done, I want to load next video in random order, but without repeating. The code below works - it is loading next random video from an xml array, but even if it adds random videos - they do repeat. How to make it to load random videos without repeating?
ActionScript Code:
var total:Number = xml.video.length();
var randomNum:uint = 0;

How do I get the following to weight the randomize results 3 to 1 (or 4 to 1) in favor of the Dog?
ActionScript Code:

The randomization is working just great, but now client wants to weight the results.

How would you randomize a specific set of values in a array? For example:

I would like to Flash to only randomize value B C D.

View 3 Replieswhen the line of code "koan.shuffle();" is commented out swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc are loaded properly into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage, albeit not randomized. (Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf.) Why does "koan.shuffle();" not only fail to randomize the array, but, break the entire loading process? Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = Math.floor(Math.random())(ivar+1);

View 6 RepliesI'm using this code I obtained from a tutorial to run an mp3 player that reads an .xml playlist. Could someone please tell me what I'd need to add/change to the code so that it plays the tracks in a random order each time the player loads - I'm not concerned about omitting repeats. I've tried adding a "random" command to the Array that holds the tracks but this didn't work.

I need to make an animation in which you are shown 5 doors. if clicked, 4 of the doors will make the screen fade out, and a message that says congratulations will pop up. however, 1 of the 5 doors will make a tiger jump out if it is clicked.however, the door that the tiger should be assigned randomly.

Does anyone know if it is possible to randomize assets in Flash. Basically I am creating a flash based application which when the user hits a target button the preceeding screen should show a completely random asset (which would be an SWF), at the moment each button is simply tagged to a particular swf, although i need it to be more random than this?

View 8 RepliesI have an array of 10 buttons 2 rows of 5 buttons each.
I was wondering how I might randomize the button placement,each time a randomizeButton function is called.What I mean is keep the rows but how they are lined up and showing will be different each time.
How to randomize them but with only selected frames For example i only want frame 2-9 to be randomize can i do such things?
View 2 RepliesI think this is possible, but I'm not sure how it would be done. I have a flash website under construction that i am building using CS4. The background was made with Poser 8, as well as most of the content. What I have is 7 flames that flicker. The flames are one MovieClip that I have placed on the stage as 7 instances. I think the flame looks great, but 7 of them all flickering exactly the same looks silly. The clip is 10 frames that loop. So...
1) could I use AS to load and play the clip starting at different frames? like instance 1 starts on frame 1, instance 2 starts at frame 5 etc, so that none flicker exactly the same?

I've made some code that loads a line from a text file as a string and puts it into a dynamic field. What I want to do is randomize the letters of the string, but I can't seem to find any functions that do so. Anyone have an idea as to how you do this?

I've been working on this sort of sunset-like sequence inFlash. I've created a movie clip of a star that has a sort oftwinkle animation. It consists of 3 layers. What I want to do israndomize this animation so I can use the symbol spray tool to fillmy sky with twinkling stars. If I just to a "gotoAndPlay" repeat,they all twinkle at the same time, and this looks pretty stupid. My limited knowledge and experience with Actionscript tellsme that I need to define the animation as a function and use somesort of math randomizer to control when it plays?
View 2 RepliesI want to randomly scramble 4 multiple choice buttons (assigning each of them to one of four different positions). I'm trying to (a) randomly extract an element from an array, (b) delete that element from the array, and (c) go through the same process 3 more times till I have 4 random numbers assigned to 4 separate variables. I should be able to assign the buttons to different positions after that.
Here's the first round of what could loosely be called code:
var firstElement:Number = 0;var distList:Array = ["0", "1", "2", "3"];var distNum0:Number = 0;var distNum1:Number = 0;var distNum2:Number = 0;var distNum3:Number = 0;

I've a question to ask regarding randomization using actionscript. Given a situation where you have different designed game characters and you would like to display different characters as the player replay/restart the game. How would you go about doing so?
