i filled an array with some objects, i want to be able to call a random object from that array, for instance:i trace array[2] but i want the outcome to be random. Sort of like the shuffle function in PHP.
View 1 RepliesSo I'm attempting to call a random item from an array which is all fine and dandy, but I'm attempting to fill the array with functions, and therein lies my problem.Here is my code, it's just a test file I made to keep it simple while I learn how to do it:
Code:
var functionArray:Array = new Array('a', 'b', 'c');
function a():void

I need to create an array with objects when using random numbers. This is the script I have:
ActionScript Code:
if(_root.EnemyCar.hitTest(_root.kill)){
_root.EnemyCar.removeMovieClip();
var lol6 = Math.floor(Math.random()*200);
if (lol6==2){_root.attachMovie("EnemyCar", "EnemyCar", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74, _y:-100})};
if (lol6==1){_root.attachMovie("SwatVan1", "SwatVan1", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:114.9, _y:-45})};
if (lol6==0){_root.attachMovie("OilTanker", "OilTanker", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74, _y:-250})};
}
As you can see the random number is from 0-250, I want to be able to have enemycar spawning from 2-20 and other movie clips spawning from 20-40 etc.
i've been reading that XML/E4X is very slow with AVM2 / ActionScript 3.when supplying an application with XML data, is it always generally a better idea to parse the XML object into an array of objects to call rather than using E4X with the stock XML data?
View 2 Repliesi have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I've got an input field called "question" where you can type whatever you want, an ASK button called "ask" and a response field called "answer". Once you enter a question and hit the ASK button I want flash to randomly reply in the "answer" field with YES, NO, MAYBE, DEFINATELY etc.
Do I need some kind of answers array to store all the answers and then call them at random into the "answers" field? Am I on the right track?
I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
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 have this which is based off of this question: [URL]. However this neither works in firefox and IE. If I embed my flash into the browser like this:

This works in Firefox but not IE. What is the proper way of embedding my flash movie so it works across all browsers?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to develop a server-side application(splitterApp) using FMS 3.5.2 which would accept an incoming stream from 3rd Party encoders and publish the stream using FCPublish method to an application(edgeApp) on our edge servers. The splitterApp contains 3 classes for performing the activity. So whenever a incoming stream is received by the splitterApp, the main.asc would create an object of type IncomingStream() and push into unPublished array. A timer based job then picks the unpublished stream from the array and invokes StreamController.PublishStream(). The StreamController.PublishStream() method then creates a new PublishedStream() initialised with incoming stream. The method thereafter calls PublishedStream.PublishStream() to initiate net connection to the edge server application(edgeApp). After successful net connection, I call "this.publish_connection.call ("FCPublish", null,this.thisStream.stream.name)".
The edgeApp accepts the publish and therefore performs:

View 2 RepliesIn the below code, "sector" is an indexed array.fsector1, fsector2,fsector3 are Associative arrays.The "gotoAndStop" command doesnt work properly.The last trace command, "curTerr" returns the same value as "curSec",leading me to assume i did not define "curTerr" properly.

function loadmaptest(){ sector = ["fsector1","fsector2","fsector3"] fsector1 = new Array(); fsector1["terrain"] = "grass"; fsector2 = new Array();

I'm trying to populate a mx:tree component with values that I'm getting from BlazeDS. The returned data from BlazeDS is fine it's an ArrayCollection of Folder value objects.I've been instructed to use Cairngorm for this project. I'm pretty new to Flex and Cairngorm. According to the limited documentation that I've read online I should populate the model with data so I've stuck the array collection there.What I'm stuck with is trying to update the tree component. I feel that I need some way to notify the container component for the tree that the data (i.e. the subfolders) is available on the model. I was hoping that it would be possible to fire a function in the container component to add the subfolders as children of the selected node (I could chuck this on the model before the remote object call I guess) then fire tree.invalidateList() and tree.validateNow(). Any ideas?

What I'm trying to do is to create a class loading three images as a pile into a movie clip and be able to switch from one image to another (with a fade effect) thanks to a method (setPic).
The problem I have is when I want to store my loaded image into my array( magnitude[i-1] = loader.content; ) it doesn't load anything, provoking the addchild(magnitude[i-1]); to return a null error. I know the file is properly loaded because if I addchild(loader.content) directly it does load the image (but I can't store it and access it later obviously).[code]...
maybe someone can solve this one too:i have an array like this:

what i'm trying to achieve is to be able to create a random time frame betw 1 to 8 seconds before it calls a movie clip from the library.

however the time interval is not working. i managed to trace the random timeGap.
