I have created a banner ad mechanism for a website. Banner clicktag, url etc. are stored in mysql database. At the moment I'm just getting random banner from all available and display it on a website.But how can I implement some sort of mechanism so that all banners get displayed evenly but in random order?
View 2 RepliesWe are in the process of builing a statistics simulation for a client. One of the requirements of the simulation is to first generate a set of 1000 random numbers from a Normal (or Guassian) distribution.Does ActionScript have the builty in functionality to generate random numbers from anything other than a Uniform distribution?If this functionality is not built in, does anyone know of a component or pre-built script that can provide this functionality?How hard would it be, if either of the two options above are not possible, to generate random numbers from a Normal(Guassian) distribuion using ActionScript?

I am trying to use Jim Bumgardner's Clumping example ([URL]) to create an interface. Part of it is that I am creating clusters of bubbles (one parent bubble with n child bubbles). The child bubbles all follow the parent, so far so good. Next step is to create a random distribution of these clusters. So the clusters all need to be n pixels away from each other. My idea was to build this into the clumping algorithm. I.e. if one parent is too close to another parent, their x and y will increase/decrease with a value. Also I am trying to let the clusters stay in the boundary of the stage. Simply by adding to the algorithm the bubbles should move n pixels to the left when they are too close to the left border of the stage (same principle for the other 3 sides).
Problem is that it kind of not works what I am trying. I extended the algorithm so far that it became a mess difficult to see what's going wrong (see attachment). Can somebody help me with describing how I can improve the Clumping algorithm so that it meets my requirements (1. Clusters distributed randomly, 2. Stage boundary collision)? Pseudo-code is also okay
i'm attempting to populate an array with random numbers, but the random numbers must be a certain, minimum distance apart from each other.i've populated an array with 5 random numbers between 0 - 100:[code]after populating and sorting let's assume that myArray now contains these values:26, 27, 42, 92, 97 now i would like some ore all of the array values to be reset, if they need to be, so that they are at least a certain percentage (let's say 10%) of the maximum value (100) apart from each other.the first 2 values (26 and 27) are not at least 10% apart and neither are the last 2 values (92 and 97). however, if i simply moved the value 27 10% away from 26, so that 27 changes to 37, 37 now conflicts with the next value of 42.what is the best approach for populating an array of random numbers who's values will be at least a certain percentage apart from one another but still random.it may go without saying, but i'm looking for a solution that is portable, where maximum values and minimum distribution percentages can be anything, not just for my example above.

View 1 RepliesI've been asked by a client to build a vertical scrolling banner that pulls logos from a database and displays them in a line, scrolling through an infinite loop.I initially built it using a jquery script I found, but have discovered in the end that it won't actually do what I need it to.I know there are a million different scripts out there roughly covering what I'm after, but my PHP/Flash integration knowledge is pretty well non-existent.Here's what I've got using the jquery script. I need the flash one to display 6 banners at a time scrolling up, as opposed to the one.

View 1 RepliesI'm not really looking for a specific answer but really more something that I can target my research around. Here is what I'm working with: -this all need to pre-load. -I need to build a flash image banner -When you click a image they take you to a corresponding HTML page. -The first few images in the banner sequence need to play in sequential order so for example image00, image01, image02 in order. -Then once the first few images have played in sequential order images will be selected and played at random. Now here is the tricky part the random image selection can't pick to of the same images in a row. -The universal transition from one image to the next should be an alpha fade down of the top image exposing the random or sequential image below. Yeah I know that a real mouth full.

I am trying to create a movie clip that loops and on each loop it loads a random little .jpg banner from a directory. The banners are named 0.jpg, 1.jpg and so on, a script on the first frame of the loop saying
Code:
_root.randomnumber = random(_root.bannernumber);
_root.bannerloop.bannerholder.loadMovie("http://www.url.com/directory/"+_root.randomnumber+".jpg");
"bannernumber" is a variable from an external text file specifying how many random numbers to cycle through (how many banners), This works just fine and loads up a new banner after each loop cycle. The problem lies in trying to make each banner go to its own url, I have another external text document with variables "click0=url, click1=url etc" where I want the number in each variable to equal the randomnumber variable in flash, then use an on(release){getURL(urlvariable)} function to have it retrieve the url that is somehow in the url variable. Basically, how would I make the urlvariable be equal to the "click0" variable to get the url of the click0 variable into the getURL function? while having the number in the "click0" variable be equal to the randomnum variable?
I"ve created some flash content that contains two .flv files that I'm interested in distributing. My question is- how do I "package" the files together so the .flv and .swf open together and I also need to ensure that no one else can open and edit them in Flash(ex- someone receives the files, has flash on their computer and can alter my original content).
View 2 RepliesI have just installed FMS. As fast as I see, there is a Vod application, sending stream from static files. We need to have FMS send a live stream, but from a ready made file.
Is there an existing application doing this already? Or does this would require programming a new app on our end? Is what I'm trying to do even possible with FMS?

I have a typical Flex-based application that was written to use a Java/Hibernate/MySQL backend. The client changed the requirements - now they want to distribute it on a CD where the user can just run the app without any installation or a network connection.
To do this, I certainly need to eliminate the web server and the database server and adapt my application (with as few changes as possible, of course) to a stand-alone application that will fit on a CD/DVD. I've managed to export the data to XML and read it into Flex, but I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate the Hibernate data structures in Flex so I could change as little code as possible. Failing that, is there any way to keep the existing Java/Hibernate external to the Flex code but retrievable without installing Apache Tomcat or MySQL?
I have a Flex application which manage a database composed by 7 tables.I have created the insert form and all work great. Now I wanto to improve the Form performances; the idea is to replace the TextInput of the Form with ComboBoxes which are provided by the DataBase tables

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.
