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
ActionScript 2.0 :: Selecting Random Number From Variable
May 30, 2010So what I have here is a button that will take away a random number from a variable (in this case being money) this is nothing more than a learning experience and I just wish to broaden my horizons on flash AS.
Actionscript Code:
on (release) { money -= random(200); }on (release) {gotoAndPlay (2);}
While this code works just fine the only problem i have with it is that it will select a number from (0-200). Is there a way I can set this up to select a random number BETWEEN 2 numbers? EX: (150-200)
ActionScript 3.0 :: Selecting A Random Frame In Another Scene?
Dec 28, 2011I have an app I'm creating with Flash CS5.5 with 42 different short stories in it. It has 2 scenes. Scene 1 is the opening and contents menu to access the stories. Scene 2 contains the 42 stories.In scene one, I have a button that I want to be able to pick a random story so it would need to pick a random frame between 1 and 42 in scene 2. I have seen some code in here that will pick a random frame when you open the program, but I don't know how to tie it to a button or pick a random frame in another scene.

Mar 7, 2010I know this should be easy, but I can't seem to make it work. All I want is for the variable currentPage to select randomly from an array so that every time the page loads, it displays a different currentPage. This is what I have so far:

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Random Non Repeating Variables?
Apr 4, 2006I'm creating a flash game in which you are a UFO flying over a group of cows and you have to abduct them. It's a top view game so I have the grass moving from top to bottom and I have a movie with 5 cows and theres a controller in the _root movie that creates a random variable:
_root.cows = random(5);
Now everytime the controller movie gets to a certain frame, that frame tells the cow movie to play a certain cow (Moving from top to bottom) based on the current variable. What's happening is when there is a repeat, the cow disapears and jumps back to the top. Seeing how there's only 5 cows you can tell this happens a lot.Now I've researched this a bit and found that I can create an array of random numbers and splice each one as I've used it. I've tried this, copied different codes and I can't get it to work.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Variables For Game - Different 22 Numbers
Sep 7, 2006I've been working on a deal or no deal game (my first game) and I'm stuck. I just need a script to make 22 variables that are randomly equal to numbers 1 - 22, so I get a result like this:
box01 = side09;
box02 = side12;
box03 = side19;
...
...
box22 = side04;
I should probably clarify that all 22 numbers need to be different.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Random Variables In External .txt File?
Sep 8, 2010I have a .txt file with 10 variables containing 10 sentences. The variables are named myText1, myText2, myText3, etc.
I want to be able to load one of these sentences at random into a dynamic text box.
My plan was to generate a random number i and concatonate it to the variable name (ie myText + i) then call that in a LoadVars.
However, I am not able to properly reference it.

Sep 28, 2011does one protect this? I mean, Flash Cs5 ide has this little "protect from import" option but I don't think that's enough.I mean, the only thing I can think of is a scrambler.Something that would rename all variables, functions, and custom classes to some random hash. So something like myVar would be renamed to x41dDefh5kjFCe. It would be like a big "lol have fun" to someone who might manage to go that far.Still, that isn't enough. I mean, anyone else know of any good ideas or programs? Just trying to protect my work

ActionScript 2.0 :: Selecting First Value In Combobox
Oct 26, 2009I'm using a combobox component that I'm populating with a five-element array, as follows:
0 All
1 Bakery
2 Diary
3 Deli
4 Drink
And because I don't want "All" displaying in the text box, I've added the line
dropDown.text = "Select here..."
once the combobox is populated. Unfortunately, when I test the combobox and open the list, "All" is at the top of the list but already selected, so that when I click it, nothing happens. The rest of the items work fine.
Could someone tell me how to disable the first item, so that it's not automatically selected when the list opens and therefore can be clicked?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Selecting Right Data From XML
Sep 13, 2010I'm trying to create an gallery application that reads the pics from the server per category (= directory). I do this using a PHP that creates the XML file:
HTML-code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <categories> - <category name="Categorie1">
<image name="cat1Pic1.jpg" /> <image name="cat1Pic2.jpg" /> </category> - <category name="Categorie2">
<image name="cat2Pic1.jpg" /> <image name="cat2Pic2.jpg" /> <image name="cat2Pic3.jpg" /> <image name="cat2Pic4.jpg" /> </category></categories>
Now I can get to the categories(= directories) using this code:
ActionScript 3 Code:
var categoryAttributes:XMLList = galleryInput.category.attributes();
for each (var categoryNAME:XML in categoryAttributes){
trace("categoryNAME:" + categoryNAME);
}
This works, I get the directory names and create labels on stage and hang eventlisteners on them to handle user input. The next step is to select the corresponding pictures (that are in the "current" directory) and I just can't get it to work. My best effort so far is the following, but this code gives me ALL pictures, not a selection....
ActionScript 3 Code:
var categoryAttributes:XMLList = galleryInput.category.attributes();
for each (var categoryNAME:XML in categoryAttributes) {
trace("Hier komt de categoryNAME:" + categoryNAME);
// Get the right pictures
[Code] .....
And if I use galleryInput.category.image.name AS3 states that there are more than one value (of course). Now I have 2 questions: How do I limit the selection to just the images belonging to the "current" category? Is this the right approach? Or should I design it all different?

Selecting Colors Via Toolbar Swatches
Jun 8, 2009In coloring an object using the toolbar fill palette, I'd like to simply be able to double click on the color swatch in the toolbar, rather than click on the swatch and mouse down to the color and click again with the eyedropper. What's happening is that the color swatch in the toolbar contains a variety of colors around the one that it nominally represents. e.g. If the swatch is ff0000, double clicking on the swatch is likely to color the selected object anywhere from f30000 to fe0000 depending on precisely where in the swatch you double click.
