Ok what i want to do is to randomly pick 3 values from an array called Objs and add them to a new array called ListObjs. The three values should be unique. This is the code I have so far, but when i try to execute it Flash stops responding.
[Code]....
i am using actionscript 3, and the problem that I have is that i am creating an array of 16 buttons and need to use the function math.random to get it to pick 5 random unique numbers out of the array. as at the moment it is sometimes picking 5 unique numbers and sometimes it has duplicate buttons appearing?

View 1 Repliesi'm using Mx Flash and i am making a game. it is called "falldown". the 'ledges' that you run into as you are falling down need to go up. i have the mc that moves up and all, but there needs to be three of them that move up to keep you from hitting the bottom. i need it to randomly pick from the three mcs as the first one reaches a certain point. in case you don't understand ask questions and i am going to post the .fla when i get on my own comp.

I it to randomly pick one of the childNodes and display it in the container. I tried to place in a Math.random(); but I wasn't sure where to put it.
I have an array of movieclips and i want to put them on stage. so they have to be unique and randomly chosen.

For 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];

I have a javascript array and a function on my html page, and I need actionscript to be able to pick the right one from the array and run the function based on what button I pushed. My javascript is:

I have an array with 20 elements and a shuffle function applied. Now i need to screen only 4 elements from that, which then should be deleted from the array in order to avoid repetition (next play will pick other 4 images and so on) Anyone knows if there a class i can use?

I'm trying to find a simple way to solve this problem: I have an array of integers and need to find the highest value that is unique.Specifically, my array holds player scores. Ex: (4,7,6,5,2,7)I need a function that will give me the highest score that it is not tied with another score. So for the example above, it would return 6 (not 7 since there are two 7's)

View 1 Replieshow to remove duplicates from an array. But now I need to know how many times each unique item is in an array.

I'm working on a project where I have an array of coordinate points (4 of them) and a menu system that, when clicked, rearranges the boxes so that they all move around. The problem is that the values I pull out of the array are not always unique so some of the items end up not moving (or sometimes it ends up moving two to the same spot because the last one didn't move and one of them moved to a spot that is already occupied).
Here is the code I was using which for the most part works, except as mentioned, sometimes the check for the last one in the loop sees that the conditional is not equal so it doesn't do anything because there is no other values to loop through and it just leaves it in that spot.
Code:
private function checkCoordinates($item:MenuItem, $coords:Array):Void
{
var numItems:Number = $coords.length;

I am trying but I don't get unique values
I am making an user application where users can chat one on one for an x amount of time till they go to the next user (see it as speeddating). Only they are all women talking about women stuff like knitting or something. A friends chat.
I am stuck with making unique pairs. only the first round is going great (unique pairs), but then it gets mixed up:

As you can see everyone in round 1 is paired good. But in round 2 you see (for example) Donna talking to Cindy, but Brenda is also talking to Donna. that's not right. she can't talk to 2 people at once.

View 6 RepliesMy hitTestObject fails even though a trace shows that I'm getting access to the correct target object.
I read a post that said that hitTestObject won't work if the hitter has the same identifier as other hitters (like in an array). So I tried using a single hitter (set the array to have only one element) and it does work, which makes me think I need to give a unique ID to each hitter in the array.
I can declare a string var in the for loop and make it unique, but since it's a string it won't accept being typed as another class.
how to create 100 unique var names that can be typed as a class?

View 1 RepliesI encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

the code below loads only the second member of the "koan" array. why it isn't randomly loading swfs? (Could it be a problem with the "var index"?...when it is changed manually in the code from 0 to another number the swf played does change; but still not randomly.)
