Actionscript 3.0 :: Randomizing XML Questions Randomly And Limiting Display?
May 17, 2010
I have an Flash CS4 application which pulls in data (questions) via XML and randomizes them. Right now if there is 50 questions in the XML file, 50 questions are displayed and randomized in the application. I am trying to figure out how to limit the randomizing pool so that only 35 questions display(even when the XML file has 50 questions) or something like that. My current code which brings in the file and randomizes is below. The code is written in AS3, by someone else. this part of the code pulls in the XML data and randomizes.
Code: Select allpackage exam {
import flash.net.* //to create URLRequest and load XML file
import flash.events.* //for Load events

I was trying to produce an output of an array mixed up and limit the number. how that is done. Now need to incorporate into a quiz application which pulls in data via, XML, displays that, and shows the number of questions. So if 50 questions are in the XML file 50 questions will be displayed in the quiz. What I am trying to do is use the XML file as a question pool and randomly select say 30 questions out of the file to display. no luck so far, but I am making progress!

I wanted to randomise my quiz questions and to allow all questions to appear but no similar questions should appear twice. I tried to use arrays to do it but I kept having errors.

I'm really new at flash and I'm having some trouble with a textbook assignment. Before I explain my problem here is the code:
Code:

var defValue:Number = 1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vetIkke);
function vetIkke(e:Event

I was doing some assignments in my as3 textbook when I ran into a bit of trouble. I'm trying to make a flash that picks 3 random questions out of a total of 10 and displays them on screen. I made each of the questions movieclips and assigned them all a class (question1 - 10) through Linkage. So the variable "randomQ" is the name of the class of a random question, but how do I get flash to understand that? And how do I spawn that question as a movieclip on stage?
Code:
var Question:MovieClip = new randomQ();
I've tried various alterations but can't seem to find the right one. It's possible I've yet to learn the necessary knowledge in order to make this flash.

Im attaching cards to stage in random positions using arrays. I'm having some coding issues randomizing so when I refresh the swf the cards numbers should change randomly but are not. This is my code:
var cardList:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<16; i++) {
cardList[i] = "card"+i;
}[code].....

I'm doing a photo slideshow and I have 4 photos. I have them displaying randomly with TweenLite, however I have 2 more things I'd like to do with it but I really don't know how to do them. I'd like for the photos to display randomly forever, as if the script would never end. Also, I'm curious as to why only 3 of the 4 photos are displayed when I run the swf.
Here is my script thus far:
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var photoNums:Array = new Array(photo_1,photo_2,photo_3,photo_4);

I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg that I am trying to get to do this: On page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning,
Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code. I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
if(Movienum == 0) loadVariableNum ("loaded_Text.txt", 0)
if(Movienum == 1) loadVariableNum ("1.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 2) loadVariableNum ("2.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 3) loadVariableNum ("3.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 4) loadVariableNum ("4.swf", 0)
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
function countDown() {
if (Movienum == 0) {
loadVariablesNum("loaded_text.txt", 0);

I have this line of code, it's a part of a code that generates mcs at random X and Y, it worked when I wanted it to spawn everwhere, but now i want to limit the X to 200 - 430 this is the code for spawning on all 640 (1-640) pixels of the movie:
this._x = random(640);
i've tried (200-430) but it acts as 200 minus 430 and I end up with the X being 0 somehow
Edit: Never mind, I got it... Here's how: this._x = 200 + random(230);

I have an xml flash slide show that works great but i would really like it to randomly select the images out of the xml so that every time it is seen it is showing a different cycle of images. I'm not by any means an ActionScript expert far from it actually, but i understand a bit of it (not enough to write my own code yet).here is the code im using:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....
Also I'm not using the text version of this were it gives a title of the image that is displayed but every time i think i have removed it correctly i screw the the whole thing up. right now i just have the title area in my xml blank which works but i guess its not the cleanest code right.

I used the tutorial for making a xml gallery and changed it up a bit to make a banner ad gallery from an xml file. This makes life easier for my non flash designers to just update the xml file when new ads come out. I would now like to make it randomly select the first image.The only idea I had was to change the p = 0; part to p = Math.floor(Math.random() * total); That didn't work.There is some additional code in there for a coldfusion click tracker and some to build the url string for the coldfusion page
// Load XML, define arrays, and initiate loading of first image
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

Basically, it loads and parses an external XML file. I have it set to just step through the file but I'd like it to randomly display the images referenced by the XML. The script works like this, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the XMl into an array and then have the function read it correctly. It seems to me that the call:
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
with p being changed somehow to a call to myArray should work, but it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
this creates the load XML function and counts the children to an array
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {[code]....
so the XML needs to loaded into the array somehow. Here's the array with a bunch of numbers instead of the XML info.
myArray=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
myArray.Shuffle();

Is there any way? I thought "maxChars" was promising until I learned it was only for inputting text to a textfield.The XML is coming into a dynamic text box. I need to cut it off at say 500 characters and add an ellipsis.

Quite new still to AS3 so if someone can help me out, or point in the right direction,Stage size is set to 750 wide x 440 high and my hi res image is 1500 wide x 880 high. image is called mcImage.The hi res image on the stage that is scaled down to 50% on both X and Y axes.I have a zoom in button, a zoom out button and a reset button. All do pretty much what their name suggests.When you zoom in, it adjusts the Z axes of mcImage to make the image appear larger on the stage. So far so good.I then get the new co-ordinates of X and Y by using the localToGlobal feature and record them in a variable, passing them to the mouse Handler for the dragging of the image.The issue is, whatever I try in startDrag(); does not limit the size of the dragable image, nothing happens, though I am expecting it to allow me to drag the image around within it's boundary!I am sure that the code can be tidied up, but I am still learning a lot about AS3 and trying my hardest.

Im trying to create a scrolling image gallery that changes when one hits the button by tweening the images left and right and now I'm trying to find a simple way to limit their movements in AS3.
Currently the images scroll infinitely in either direction. Is there anyway to restrict their movements?

My knowledge of actionscript is basic, at best. I'm trying to make some animations move randomly by following a very helpful tutorial posted on this site [URL].. And everything was going so well until I tried to use my own initiative to limit the width and height of the movement. This is when I realised that I haven't got a clue what I am doing!

I have a MC made up of 5 vertical images. I have buttons that control the y value of the MC to move it up and down so that you can scroll through the content. Everything works fine, except that I cannot figure out how to make the MC stop moving when it gets to the last image on either end. I assumed it would be something simple like adding a > or < condition in the button so it would stop working at the extremes, but I can't seem to get it to work.
my website to see what it is I am talking about. [URL].. Click on the "print work" link and you should see the MC and the buttons that control it.

I need to limit form data entry to once a day. I have created a login and a PHP script that writes variables to a txt file. However, I want to limit the users ability to enter data to the server date, so that they can only enter in data once per day. For example, a poll that allows a user base to vote once per day. I need to do it using Actionscript, PHP, CGI, or javascript.

I am trying to build a simple image scroller in a way that it creates 2 arrays from 2 xml attributes. I got that working, but what I want to do next is randomize the order of the images and while making sure it they retain their specific urls. Then I want the scroller to loop those images in that random order infintely.
So far here is ActionScript Code:
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
// change the values to alter the spacing and scroll speed
scrollSpeed = 1;
picSpacing = 0;
picWidth = 116;

I'm trying to create a simple quiz that picks questions from an XML file, then checks the answer the user enters against the answers stored in the same XML file. Every time you press blue_btn it should bring up a new question. Right now I'm stuck -- it shows only the last question in the XML file, when I enter the right answer it tells me it's wrong, and when I press blue_btn again nothing happens.
