Actionscript 3 :: Populating An Array Of Random Numbers With Minimum Spacers / Distribution?
Feb 5, 2011
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.

We 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 need to generate 238 numbers, with a range of 1-4, but I want to weight them, so there's say 35% chance of getting 3, 28% chance of getting 2, 18% chance of getting 4m, and 19% chance of getting 1.

I have an assignment where I need to create an array with 9 numbers between 1 and 34, also none of the numbers need to appear twice.This is what I have so far, so as you can see I'm stuck on the part where I have to check if the number already exists in the array.[code]

What should I do so I end up with an array of random numbers like
[2, 6, 4, 9, 0, 3, 7, 8, 1, 5]
[3, 5, 8, 1, 9, 0, 6, 7, 2, 4]
I'm thinking like starting with an ordered array

I am using actionscript 3 and I am creating an array of 16 buttons and need to use the function math.random to get it to pick 5 random unique numbers out of the array. As at the moment it is sometimes picking 5 unique numbers and sometimes it has duplicate buttons appearing?

This seems quite easy, but I'm not that good with Flash, so it'd be really gr8 if anyone can help.I'm trying to create an array of random unique numbers from 0 to 39 so that I can list these numbers in a countdown and without repetition, ie: 25, 29, 11, 03, 17 etc.These are 40 different numbers, equal or greater than 0 and equal or less than 39.

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 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 have 10 movieclips on stage called mc1 mc2 etc ect and then I have one button which makes one of the mc's alpha = 0;The only thing is I would love the evenlistener add the number created by the array to be put after mc & "array number".So what the button should do is create one of the mc's visible whilst all others are not, and this should happen randomly without an mc showing up twice.

how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.

I need algorithm ideas for generating points in 2D space with defined minimum and maximum possible distances between points.
Bassicaly, i want to find a good way to insert a point in a 2D space filled with points, in such manner that the point has random location, but is also more than MINIMUM_DISTANCE_NUM and less than MAXIMUM_DISTANCE_NUM away from nearest points.

I am generating random numbers between two numbers by the code bellow:
ActionScript Code:
public function randomRange(max:Number, min:Number = 0):Number
{
return Math.round(Math.random() * (1+max - min) + min);
}
trace(randomRange(3,-31));
But I need a code which will return some times '3' and some times '-31'. Not the number between them.

Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?

I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.

When receiving an array from flash, in C, how do I populate that array when its size isn't constant but the values types are?
In Alchemy's documentation, the example given is:
S3_ArrayValue(arr, "IntType, StrType, DoubleType", &arg0, &arg1, &arg2);
But this means that if I my array is of size 100, I need to create a string describing each of the cells types.
Isn't there a way to populate it by saying something like "fill the following 'int * array', with the first 100 value from this AS3_Val int array?"
