I am making a game in Flash CS4 (actionscript 3) and I would like to be able to make "copies" of an instance that would randomly appear at the top of the screen and fall. For example, multiple objects(that are the same one) are falling from the top of the screen continuously, starting at random X positions. (i think this would be considered Real-Time effect).
View 2 RepliesI cant seem to find the code to make an object randomly fall from some random y, or the code for if this object hits an instance then goto another frame?
View 1 RepliesHi, I am tring to make an object move across the screen randomly..I want it move up-down left or right acording to the values created..for example I want my object move between value (-5 and +5 ) whats wrong with this ? because it always moves downward ???

What i need to know, is how to make create random instances of the objects falling (as seen on footer) , so i need to figure out how to create random instances and random times in which they fall.
View 1 RepliesI've managed to get a sensor attached to an arduino talking to flash using something called AS3glue. it works, when i set up a trace("leaf") for the contition that the sensor reads 0, i get a printout of the word "leaf". however i want the program to make a graphic appear on the screen when this condition is met, not just trace something.
I'm trying to get the program to generate a library object called "Enemy" on the screen at a random position each time the conditions are met. It's called enemy because I was following a game tutorial...actually it's a drawing of a leaf. Here's the bit of the code which is causing me problems:

so i am having trouble with adding a box randomly on the screen. I have done this before and it seems like it should have a relatively easy solution. But alas, i have not been able to figure this out. This is the info: I have a box mc with exporting as Box. I have a Box Actionscript file with this code in it:

Nothing happens at all but there is no errors. Also i would like to keep everything in the classes.
On my previous post Adding a object randomly on the screen in as3 I explained the specifics of my situation. But I will go over it again. I have a box with a class(not my document class. I do have one called Main but this one is just an AS class referencing my box.) The classes name is Box and my MC box is exported as Box. This is the codethis is in my main file on the main timline
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, createbox);
var _box:Box = new Box;
var boxlimit:int = 2;

View 3 RepliesBasically I need the "image" of fast changing numbers. I am planning on having a series of these in a line, sort of like the matrix (how the numbers change repeatedly). I want them to basically generate the numbers 0-9 over and over pretty fast (sort of like milliseconds on a stopwatch), until I have them fade out.
View 3 RepliesI am encountering a strange problem. I am trying to generate a matrix with value of elements either 1 or 0 (filled randomly). I am storing the values into a 2D array. This is code on the first frame. Everything seems to be working fine.

I'm trying to make the text elements (graphics) in the above link shake. Barely, randomly, and sporadically. Just enough to get somebody's attention.
Anyway, I've used flash a couple times, built a couple flash websites, but nothing much with ActionScript. I figure AS would be the best way to do this, since I might repeat this on other elements within this website.
I've been working endlessly to figure out if there is a method to make an object move randomly. I know there is a way, because I have seen many sites using it. Yet, I am unable to create anything besides specified movement in the x and y values. I can't make anything move randomly.

View 3 RepliesI want to make a flash animation that makes an object move across the screen to a certain point, depending on what is typed into a text box, and i want many of these moving objects at once, so that you can type in a number and then the object moves to that point. Can this be done?I have used flash but have done verry little with the actions of flash, so please walk me through any actions that will need doing

View 1 RepliesI might not even be approaching this the right way, but I'm trying to make a game where a ship flies through randomly generated tunnels. I'm very new at this, but I felt my question was a bit too advanced for the "Programming Beginners" section.So, what I came up with was two black vertical rectangles, ~50 px wide, ~300 px high and ~100 px apart vertically, as one movie clip. I want this clip to be duplicated infinitely, stacked to the right of eachother, and shifted by a random number between 0-10 pixels up or down.This is the code I used to create just one copy of the walls, hoping it would shift over to x=140:
Code:
for (var i=0; i<200; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("walls", "walls_copy", 1 );

I need dozens of these, numbered sequentially. Is there a syntax available that would plug into a while statement? Like:

I am in a pinch for time and know very little about Flash and even less about Actionscript, but I need to know how to make a ball fall according to gravity!

I am working on a project, and I'm planning to make a flash lava lamp.I am currently working on the "giving heat to the blobs" part of the project.Currently it looks something like this:Link
[code]...
In the next part of the project I will generate some randomly shaped blobs of liquid and place them in a movie.And then they will find out the amount of yellow inside to get the average "temperature" of the blob, and then the upwards acceleration of the blobs will be determined. So if the blob is relatively hot, it will flow upwards, if it's low, it will flow downwards. As it gets higher, the blob will lose some heat. Touching another blob will exchange some heat and other lava-lamp'ish stuff will happen.Do you think I should do it with pixels? (like above) or do you think I should use "normal flash stuff" ? (By that I mean using movieclips, etc)Is my method of displaying "heat" good? Or could I use another way?
I wish to have a numeric stepper which allows me to choose the no of balls I want, then when i press the button I want all these balls to fall down..but when I press the button the x no of balls are generated but not falling down.
