Flash :: Arrays - Pick Any Random Element In An Array EXCEPT If It's A Certain Value?
Jan 26, 2011For 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

Jul 5, 2010There 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];

Sep 30, 2006I 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.

Oct 20, 2010but I've spent the last few days trying to find an answer to this seemingly simple question, and no luck. Well, partial luck, but not quite what I wanted.My problem is this - I want to play a random sound when an event happens. In AS2, I used to do this:Actionscript Code:s1 = new Sound();_root.s1.attachSound("sound"+(random(10)+1));s1.start();...where there would in this example be 10 sounds in the library, with names from sound1 to sound10.Now, I want to be able to do the same in AS3. As a temp solution, I've been forced to do a lot of if statements, but that's ugly, timeconsuming and inefficient.I also tried this (AS3):
Actionscript Code:
var soundArray:Array = new Array(new sound1(),new sound2(),new sound3(),new sound4(),new sound5()) var randomInteger:int var selectedSound:Sound function

ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Pick From XML File
Dec 17, 2010i got an XML File with a set of variables which should be chosen randomly. Of course, if one data set has been selected, it should not come up again. to solve this, i created an array called blacklist, which keeps track of all the xml indexes which have allready been selected. so, what i'm doing in f_newtarget is randomize a number between 0-42 and check if it on the blacklist. if it is, i trace "double" and want to restart, and if it is not, write the randomized index to the blacklist and move my target to the coordinate given in the XML.
whats not working is when i get a double event. it traces the "double" but does not start to randomize again. i think i know why, cuz the action is only triggered by pushing the button. but in the case taht the randomized number is allready in the array, i want it to automatically re-randomize r until it finds a value which has not part of the array. what do i have to write in order for the code to jump back to where it randomizes the variable r?
or should i write like a whitelist array from which i randomely deduct the indexes? i have a button which holds the code for selecting a new question. it looks like this:

What I want to do is to run this file many times and each time the each alphabets and numbers will be randomly displayed within these 6 characters there will always be 2 numbers and 4 alphabets but I shouldn't know which character will be holding an alphabet and which will be holding a number.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding A Element To An Array With Array.push
Mar 14, 2005I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far
[Code]...
Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Putting Data Into An Array Via XML And Then Selecting At Random An Image String To Load In A Pic At Random
Feb 11, 2009I'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
