ActionScript 3.0 :: Selecting A Random Movie Clip From Array?
Mar 7, 2010
I know this should be easy, but I can't seem to make it work. All I want is for the variable currentPage to select randomly from an array so that every time the page loads, it displays a different currentPage. This is what I have so far:
var myImages:Array = new Array("outsource_mc","solutions_mc","staff_mc");
var randomImages:Array = [];
var randomCount:Number = 1;
var r:Number;
for (var i = 0; i<randomCount; i++) {
[Code]...

I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded

I am fairly new to actionscript infact I've only had flash for a few days, so still learning, but what I'vedecided to do are just small little projects to try and improve my skills and knowledge of Actionscriptas I am enjoying programming8-)I would like to be able to display a random movieclip from my library which I created earlier and convertedthem to a symbol of a movieclip and then linked them with names piece1, piece2, piece 3 and piece 4.What I would like to be able to do is display these movie clips randonly on the stage, I've use an array withjust 1 object inside it but not with 4.
var randompiece:int=Math.random()*3;var mazearray:Array=["piece1","piece2","piece3","piece4"];
I'm not sure where to go from here

How do I load a movie clip randomly from an array? Do I need to use a container movie clip to load them into? I've tried a few methods that work for external swf's - but I want to load movie clips that are already in my library.

I'm trying to do a game in as3, but i get a problem, i got an array :var movieClipArray:Array = new Array(new monClip1(),new monClip2(),new monClip3(),new monClip4(),new monClip5())that each clip appears randomly and for a random time, but for special buttons, you can suppress some clips, the problem is that with monClip1, and monClip5, its quiet easy with shift() and pop(), because they will always be the first and last of the array, but for the rest, s they wont be the same order, we cant only use a splice(), so I tried with indexOf, but it doesnt work ...
if(blablabla ...)
{
movieClipArray.splice(movieClipArray.indexOf(new monClip2()), 1);
}

I have a Competition page on my flash project. Within the page is a ScrollPane, the ScrollPane has a MovieClip which is the stuff inside the ScrollPane. Then within my MovieClip I have a FLV video embedded using the FLVPlayback Component. I want to be able to select that FLV to make it stop when I use the navigation bar to go to another page otherwise it keeps playing in the background. its obvious I need to use stop(); but I don't know how to select the child MovieClip.

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;

So what I have here is a button that will take away a random number from a variable (in this case being money) this is nothing more than a learning experience and I just wish to broaden my horizons on flash AS.
Actionscript Code:
on (release) { money -= random(200); }on (release) {gotoAndPlay (2);}
While this code works just fine the only problem i have with it is that it will select a number from (0-200). Is there a way I can set this up to select a random number BETWEEN 2 numbers? EX: (150-200)

I have an app I'm creating with Flash CS5.5 with 42 different short stories in it. It has 2 scenes. Scene 1 is the opening and contents menu to access the stories. Scene 2 contains the 42 stories.In scene one, I have a button that I want to be able to pick a random story so it would need to pick a random frame between 1 and 42 in scene 2. I have seen some code in here that will pick a random frame when you open the program, but I don't know how to tie it to a button or pick a random frame in another scene.

This code produces a random clip from an array. I need it to loop every 3 seconds. Is this possible?
arr = ["strandA","strandT","strandC","strandG"];
arr.sort(function(){return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)-1});
var clip = arr[0];
this.attachMovie(clip,clip,1,init);

I'm trying to make a series of 16 short movies loop infinitely in a random order. I have a master movie clip called "random_mov" that has 17 frames. In frame one is an action:gotoAndStop(1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 17));Frames 2 - 17 are my individual movies (movie1, movie2, movie3, etc...), one per frame. The code above does seem to work, but it only works once, looping a randomly selected frame forever. I need it to go back to frame one after each movie is complete so it can select another random frame

I'm making a slide show that will be playing in the background at a retirement party. I have several different slides (movie clips) that I would like continually play at random.So far my random code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var MCs = new Array("ball", "box", "poly");
var selectedMC = MCs[Math.floor(Math.random() * MCs.length)];
Is there a way to make it gotoAndPlay once it selects the random movieclip?

I'm working on a variation of the photo gallery tutorial, and I've been trying to specify random effects on a movie clip which is dynamically loading photos. I tried using the idea of the randomly loading backgrounds to specify panning effects, except that flash is running several of them on each photo instead of one case to each time a new photo loads.Here is the script, without the random effects.......

I have a movie clip which i gave instance name "abc" (suppose). I want this movie clip to automatically load randomly on the scene when i load movie. I mean this movie clip should be seen randomly making lots of duplicates scattering all over the document (like stars twinkles randomly all over the sky).

I have 4 movie clips on the stage, which can be numbered or named whatever you like.
To start, I need some code that tells one of them (at random) to play.
Then when the clip finishes playing, on the last keyframe, some similar code that tells another of the 4 clips to play (at random), but not the same clip again.

1. Rather than using removeChildAt(5) how can I change this so I don't have to hard code in a number? As when I use this in my main project I get an out of bounds error.
2. How do I get my store text to match the pin that has been rolled over, so if pin 1 has been rolled over I get store one etc. At the moment I only know how to say storesArray[0]; which obviously isn't working for me.
