Oct 13, 2011I'm trying to break up a square or rectangle into a large number of randomly sized squares or rectangles so that none are overlapping.How to fill a square with smaller squares/rectangles?The solution seems to be either through bin packing or some sort of tree map.But what I'm looking for is the actual algorithm in Java, Javacript , actionscript or even C.

Jul 3, 2006I want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}
Professional :: Rectangle With Arbitrary Number Of Rectangles?
Mar 27, 2012I'm trying to figure out how to tile a rectangle (the stage) with an arbitrary number of rectangles. Simple tiling where all the tiles are the same size and simply stacked in a grid.I'm doing this with a resizable layout and a number of tiles that is arbitrary and will change over time.
Given a more or less 4:3 or 16:9 monitor I would like a solution that tends toward minimizing the perimeter of the tile and being similar in aspect ratio to the screen. I realize that if I have a prime number of tiles that I won't be able to make a nice grid, but other than that it seems there should be some way to do this.Lets say I have 231 tiles I need to arrange. The factors are 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77 and 231.If the screen is really, really wide 1 x 231. Wide but not not as crazy wide as before 3 x 77. And most likely 11 x 21 is what I would need.So is there an easy way to do this on the fly? Is there a pre-calculated way to make it easy?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicate MCs And PLace Randomly
Apr 16, 2009I want to attach a mc from the library, then duplicate it 2-3 times, and have the duplicates start in random _x / _y locations on the stage. They then slowly drift across stage.The code I've got so far loads the mc from the library, duplicates it once, and places it randomly. But it only creates one duplicate instead of 2 or 3. And I suspect it could be simplified.So I need corrected code to create 2 or 3 duplicates, and have them start randomly and move at the same speed across stage. Maybe advice on how to allow them to move at different speeds would be useful as well.[code]

When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.

Flash :: Counter Displays Sprites In Place Of Number Values - Error #1010 Actionscript 3
Feb 17, 2010The counter displays sprites in place of number values. More experienced programmers have given me a clue. Why am I getting error # 1010. Secondly, what am I not seeing that's so obvious? I wish I went in to this with a better foundation in actionscript 3, but I'm reading and doing my best. WHAT I SEE
-dollar sign indicates a variable or array "$numbers"
-import flash.utils.Dictionary; "indicates an associative string"
-Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties
-is the associative string is fooling me? "maybe I set no values, duh"
-are the property of my symbols are set wrong?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Place SWF Onto Stage?
Jan 31, 2009I've been working on my new flash site for a few weeks, along with learning AS3, tackling problems as I encounter them and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me.
All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files I created play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive.

Feb 12, 2010The player controls the character with their mouse - it follows their cursor. I'm trying to make an environment continually scroll from the right hand side of the screen to the left - much like in Canabalt (click to see). I've been trying to do this with tweens, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be the most efficient way of doing it... Plus Flash keeps dying on me whenever I try to do it.
I have a couple of background images, and then I have objects in the foreground that the player is going to destroy by mousing the character over them. How do I get Actionscript 3 to place instances of movieclips on the screen at certain points, and make them to scroll from the right of the screen to the left? I have a lot of different movieclips to use, so it'd also be great if they could be removed from the stage once they reach a certain point.
