how can you randomize the results of an array in a for loop?
I am loading data in via xml and when doing a for loop to iterate through instead of showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ect... how can i randomize for [i] ? If i do it in the for loop it keeps doing the randomizing and gets stuck and if after things are already loaded. how is it done?
How do I get the following to weight the randomize results 3 to 1 (or 4 to 1) in favor of the Dog?
ActionScript Code:
var animalArray:Array=new Array("Cat","Dog","Hen","Bird");
shuffleArray(animalArray);
The randomization is working just great, but now client wants to weight the results.
It appears the same rotation for every branch. Is this not the correct way to randomize a loop?
Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<branchAmount; i++) {
branch.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x333333,1);
branch.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
branch.graphics.lineTo(0,-50);
branch.x=trunks.x;
branch.y=trunks.y;
branch.rotation=Math.floor(Math.random()*160)-90;
branchArray.push(branch);
addChild(branch);
}
What i need to do is to randomize the variable named: randomCard if randomCard doesnt equal any value of myCards array. (randomize again if the value of randomCard isnt in the myCards array)
obviously youll notice that in this part of the code: while (randomCard != myCards); myCards isnt correctly defined
Code:
private var myCards:Array = [0,2,4];
do {
randomCard = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);

Say I have an array:
myList:Array = new Array();
myList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
myRandomList:Array = new Array();[code].............
However, is there a way to rewrite this as a function?
I am working on a flash game that has 'waves' of soldiers kind of like the game Weapon.
what I am trying to do is randomize and array I have which contains strings[code]...
just wanted to share this, some months ago i was looking all over the web for an array content randomizer and found none, yesterday i was reading a book about AS3 and after finishing the arrays chapters tough of this:

Im loading in xml video playlist. After one video is done, I want to load next video in random order, but without repeating. The code below works - it is loading next random video from an xml array, but even if it adds random videos - they do repeat. How to make it to load random videos without repeating?
ActionScript Code:
var total:Number = xml.video.length();
var randomNum:uint = 0;
var total:Number = xml.video.length();

How would you randomize a specific set of values in a array? For example:
Code:
testArray[A , B , C , D , E]
I would like to Flash to only randomize value B C D.
I have an array that I want to shuffle but at different percentages. Like "Hello" would show up 80% in the Output window. "Bye" would show the other 20% of the time.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use the following code to convert an object read in from a ByteArray to an Array and store it:
var data:Object = ba.readObject();
var invObjects:Array = data as Array;
In debugging, I find that 'data' is indeed populated with the correct data and takes up memory and is in an Array friendly format. However, invObjects is NULL. How does merely saying 'data as Array' make the holding variable suddenly null?
I'm trying to loop through the results of an httpservice, it is xml. This is how I try to do it, but this does not work.
protected function getArtistsSucces(event:ResultEvent):void {

var artistXML:XML;
for each(artistXML in artistList.artists) {
var artistName:String = artistXML.artist.name;

I have a table in the database:
name Opinion
Tim Tim has an opinion
John other random text
Dan Dan's random text
Al Al says something else
I call this data and get it back in
getRecords.lastResult
To access John's opinion, I could use:
getRecords.lastResult[1].opinion
But that's only because I know that John is the second record (record 1), but this may change. So the right way is to search through the results to first find the record index for John, then access his opinion.
I need some sort of a loop? Is there an easier way to search for John directly without a loop?

View 9 Replieswhen the line of code "koan.shuffle();" is commented out swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc are loaded properly into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage, albeit not randomized. (Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf.) Why does "koan.shuffle();" not only fail to randomize the array, but, break the entire loading process? Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = Math.floor(Math.random())(ivar+1);

I'm trying to create a loop which generates a single series of sine results ranging from 0 to 1 based on 100 loops ( ie 0 ,0.011 ,0.1111........up to 1 in a single run)The results I want start at 0 and increment in a series up to 1 and then stop. I suppose this would be one half of a sine wave I have tried the following but it goes from 0 to 1 ,1 to 0 , 0 to 1 etc whereas I want a single straight run of 100 values from 0 to 1
I tried :
for(var i:Number=0;i<=100;i++){
trace((0.5*Math.sin(i)) + 0.5);
}
This does not work.
I am trying to create an array (1-35), mix that array and display the results with a trace. I am getting an error with the following code.
public function generateArray(toNumber : int) : Array {
var result : Array = [];
for (var i : int = toNumber;
i != 0; i--) {
result.push(i);
[Code] .....
The error(s) are:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method generateArray.
1120: Access of undefined property generateArrays.

I am currently in the process of making an image gallery at university over the period of the semester. Eventually it will be able to search through flikr and pull thumbnails from there but for now we are just getting the fundamentals working. Last weeks task was to have the int amount of thumbnails show up depending on the number u placed in the search field.
So in other words i type in 3 in the search field, and 3 placeholder images show up. The problem is having to remove them from the stage and the array so that when u type in 2 or 1 after having typed 3, that it erases the last search results from the array and the stage. This is my code below which half works. It will place however many images you tell it to, but will not erase them next time u press search.

View 6 RepliesI'm using this code I obtained from a tutorial to run an mp3 player that reads an .xml playlist. Could someone please tell me what I'd need to add/change to the code so that it plays the tracks in a random order each time the player loads - I'm not concerned about omitting repeats. I've tried adding a "random" command to the Array that holds the tracks but this didn't work.

I need to make an animation in which you are shown 5 doors. if clicked, 4 of the doors will make the screen fade out, and a message that says congratulations will pop up. however, 1 of the 5 doors will make a tiger jump out if it is clicked.however, the door that the tiger should be assigned randomly.
