Actionscript 3 :: Passing Random Values From One Array To Another Without Repetitions?
Apr 15, 2012
I have an array (say 'origA') which contains 20 values and also another array (say "itemA" with only 1 value in it. I need to push any 10 random values of "origA" into "itemA". But i cannot push a same value which is already pushed into "itemA".
anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.
I am importing video playlist using xml. As soon as one video is done, I pick up next random video from the xml list of videos. Lets say I have 5 videos in that list - getting random numbers from 5 would look like so: 1 , 3, 1, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 3, 2 but I really want to have something like this: 4, 2, 5, 3, 1 The problem becomes apparent - the random numbers are repeating. I guess I would have to create some sort of loop to go through xml and get random number and then not repeat it. Any ideas how to make this work. Here is my xml (just 5 videos for example):
Checked out the kirupa easy random color code, but is it possible to call random values from an array of colors? these examples don't seem to be working.. Code:
I am recently working with an application. Where I need 4 unique values from an array in such a way that it should checking random item every time. For eg:-
Main_Array = ["one","two","three","four","five","six","seven "]; Sub_Array = ["three"]; // initially it holds one value for(each value of Sub_Array)
[code]........
I am trying but I don't get unique values, or something gets wrong which I am not able to solve. Looking forward desperately for some help
and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....
Can I pass values from fla to AS3. Example I have fla file where the xml faile loaded. Now I want to make button "Button 1" and "Button 2" now if I press the button it sent to AS3 values/variables. private var xmlURL:String = "xml/Button1.xml"; After buttone 2 is pressed is private var xmlURL:String = "xml/Button2.xml";
I have committed to doing something that I thought would be really easy, but I can't get it to work.I want to be able to call an HTML page containing a Flash movie and have that Flash movie pick up a value from the URL of the page in which it sits.So, I want to create a link to the HTML page such as: then want the Flash movie on mypage.html to read in the value John and put it into the movie variable myname.I can see how to do it using pre-coded parameters as part of the HTML that loads the SWF, but I want the value to be determined by the calling link, not predetermined within the HTML on the movie page.I also don't want to have to create a dynamic HTML page for my movie if I can avoid it.
I am using AS2 and passing some values from flash to php, flash files is on page file1.php values are passing fine, it pass values when user click button. When button is pressed { var myVal:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); myVal.flieName = "fileid1"; myVal.send("file1.php", "_parent", "POST"); }
When it pass the values, it refresh the page and Flash File is also refreshed and Flash file start from frame 1 and all the values on flash becomes default in other words when user click "file1.php" is submitted, so the page is refreshed What is the solution, that after passing values the page remains or flash remains as it is (not refresh the contents).
i have done a template for an elearning project. in that iam loading a swf with in another swf when click on a lesson button. the second swf will load a xml file. I want chang the xml file name while loading the second swf within the first swfto pass the variable or a value while loading a swf within a swf. i got struct up.. iam in pressure
is there any way to locally define a variable in a function and then pass it to the oher function. I mean to say is it possible the pass a local value from one function to other function.
I have a scene in flash, where I have two movie clip buttons. Each button is labeled with "over", "down" and "up" state. I am using an URL with a variable at the end: [URL]. When the value is equal 1 I would like to see the "over" state on the first button.
I have following code in AS 3.0
Code: // VARIABLES var button = root.loaderInfo.parameters.button; if(button == null)
[Code]...
But unfortunately it is not working. I created a dynamic text field, where I want to display the value of the variable I am passing, but I dont know why it is not updated, when I type the value in the address bar.
How can I pass in RGB values to a ColorTransform object? I set the red, green, and blue multipliers but I'm not getting the desired results.The movieclip is grayscale originally and then i do this and all i get is black (it should be yellow):[code]I adjusted each color's offset to 0 and I still had the same results. Do I need to convert to hex values?
I am using AS2 and passing some values from flash to php,flash files is on page file1.php values are passing fine , it pass values when user click button
when button is pressed { var myVal:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); myVal.flieName = "fileid1 "; myVal.send("file1.php", "_parent", "POST"); }
Problem : when it pass the values , it refresh the page and Flash File is also refreshed and Flash file start from frame 1 and all the values on flash becomes default in other words when user click "file1.php" is sumbitted , so the page is refreshedWhat is the solution , that after passing values the page remains or flash reamins as it is ( not refresh the contents )
What I'm trying to do is this: "profilename" is the name of the attribute in the XML file I want to pull from. The XML file looks like this:
[Code]...
I'm trying to pull from the profilename attribute in the test.xml file, so I'm wondering if it's possible to pass in a value/argument in the addEventListener function as I defined above. Is this possible at all to do? I hope my explanation makes sense.
This this not seems a difficult tusk to understand.
I can able to connect classes to each other. But the thing is that, when I am going to construct some logic to load and hold xml data and only fetch the correct child object from it, I stumped.
Here is the starter:
I connect loadXML.as to Main.fla from Properties Panel.
i'm trying to make a mobile app in flash,for that i have created a class of Thumbstick(which is linked wid theMC Thumbstick ) which will allow us to move the object Floty which is also linked wid the class Floty.
I have a movie clip called form with 3 input boxes in it, I then pass these variables to a PHP page that emails them out to a specific email address, all well and good and this works fine.
However, I need to add a yes/no query to the form using radiobuttons, what I can't figure out is how to actually grab the variable for the radiobutton in the PHP, I had originally believed that the variable would just be the groupname of the radiobuttons however this doesn't work.
I suspect the radiobuttons variable isn't actually being passed to the script at all
For the record I'm using MX2004, AS2.0 and the submitting code on my submit button is:
on (release) { form.loadVariables("/testarea51/email.php", "POST"); }
I'm trying to call a php file from a MovieClip, only problem is I need to pass some data to the php file for it to generate the appropriate HTML.I've tried getURL() with POST and GET values but the values I need to send aren't on the _root timeline so it doesn't pass the values I need.What would be ideal is some way of calling the php and passing in values of your choice.
Setup: 2 iframes (one has a php-generated list, the other my swf)
So this is what I want to do: Clicking on an item in the list has to pass info to the SWF file without reloading it. I think I heard / read that this is possible with JavaScript.
Thing is, it needs to be quick... hence the "JavaScript / no reload" approach. Otherwise I was thinking to just have the PHP-iframe reload itself when clicked and create something like a server-side cookie (a tiny text file with the choice) and have the SWF check for that file.
That would mean I could avoid using JavaScript (simply for security / compatiblity reasons) but it would be slower responding sind I wouldn't want to let the SWF check more often than once every 10 seconds or so (server load, etc).
I'm making a Flash invitation to a party, and I want to send it via e-mail.So I want to pass a variable to Flash in the URL like this:
[URL]
Flash contains a list of people invited to the party. So when Flash reads nameID = 23 it shows the name linked to # 23.E.g. "Dear Thomas, please come to my party bla bla bla..."This way I only have to change the nameID in the e-mails I send.
HTML Code: <param name="movie" value="invitation.swf" />
With this:
HTML Code: <param name="movie" value="invitation.swf?nameID=23" />
But it is hard coded and I don't know any javascript. make a script, that takes the nameID from the URL and puts it behind the "invitation.swf" in the index.html file?
building this code to send a email... the person helping me on the web ran this code and got this trace returned:OK. So now it gets interesting. LOL. I just sent a message to YOUR service and got this:

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.
I'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
