Flash :: Arrays - Pick Any Random Element In An Array EXCEPT If It's A Certain Value?
Jan 26, 2011
For example, when users are connecting to this application they are given a userid var, then it's inserted into the array. So, i'm using chosenUser = usersOnlineArray[Math.round((Math.random()*usersOnlineArray.length))]; to pick another random user. But i need to make sure it doesn't pick the userID they personally were assigned so they don't end up getting themselves. how would i use that code but tell it to "remember, make sure you dont pick userid" maybe I could do something like

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.

There is an array 'squares' with instance names of MCs that i have on stage. I made a loop to randomize this array, so that every time the randomSquares() function is called, it would show different visible squares. But the problem is that if i call this function twice, same squares are visible as before. Everytime before calling this randomSquares() function, I also call a resetSquares() function.
var squares:Array = [s1, s2, s3,s4, s5, s6, s7, s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15, s16, s17, s18, s19, s20, s21, s22];
var myArray:Array = new Array();
function randomSquares():void {

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

but I've spent the last few days trying to find an answer to this seemingly simple question, and no luck. Well, partial luck, but not quite what I wanted.My problem is this - I want to play a random sound when an event happens. In AS2, I used to do this:Actionscript Code:s1 = new Sound();_root.s1.attachSound("sound"+(random(10)+1));s1.start();...where there would in this example be 10 sounds in the library, with names from sound1 to sound10.Now, I want to be able to do the same in AS3. As a temp solution, I've been forced to do a lot of if statements, but that's ugly, timeconsuming and inefficient.I also tried this (AS3):
Actionscript Code:
var soundArray:Array = new Array(new sound1(),new sound2(),new sound3(),new sound4(),new sound5()) var randomInteger:int var selectedSound:Sound function

i got an XML File with a set of variables which should be chosen randomly. Of course, if one data set has been selected, it should not come up again. to solve this, i created an array called blacklist, which keeps track of all the xml indexes which have allready been selected. so, what i'm doing in f_newtarget is randomize a number between 0-42 and check if it on the blacklist. if it is, i trace "double" and want to restart, and if it is not, write the randomized index to the blacklist and move my target to the coordinate given in the XML.
whats not working is when i get a double event. it traces the "double" but does not start to randomize again. i think i know why, cuz the action is only triggered by pushing the button. but in the case taht the randomized number is allready in the array, i want it to automatically re-randomize r until it finds a value which has not part of the array. what do i have to write in order for the code to jump back to where it randomizes the variable r?
or should i write like a whitelist array from which i randomely deduct the indexes? i have a button which holds the code for selecting a new question. it looks like this:

What I'm trying to do now is have 6 characters on stage (these characters are stored in an array) and 2 characters from this 6 will hold a number each and the other 4 will hold an alphabet each. What I want to do is to run this file many times and each time the each alphabets and numbers will be randomly displayed within these 6 characters there will always be 2 numbers and 4 alphabets but I shouldn't know which character will be holding an alphabet and which will be holding a number. I have only two functions now one function is to generate two random numbers to indicate which index of characters to pick to hold a number and then another for loop that run 6 times to addChild on stage.

I have tried creating 4 variables with arrays with random values where there are no two variables with the same value at the same place in the array. For example, if the 27:th value in one variable is 3, then none of the other variables must have 3 as the 27:th value.I thought the part marked blue would do it (I have also tried it with the "while" exchanged for an "if").
Code:
var totalQuestions = 50;
var correctAnswers = new Array();
var wrongAnswers1 = new Array();[code]...

I retrieve XML data in Flex via HttpService. I have the resultFormat property on the HttpService instance set to HTTPService.RESULT_FORMAT_OBJECT. The result contains data similar to this:
<!-- ... -->
<children>
<item><!-- ... --></item>
[Code]....
I get an array named item beneath the element children when there is more than one item sibling. If there's only one, the conversion can't distinguish it from a scalar.
What do I need to change to have Flex convert all item elements to an array with 0 or more elements?
What would I have to do to get an array member children, dropping the item wrappers altogether?
The XML is generated by Struts on the server side. I always have the option to change the structure of the document there, but right now I'm interested in what I can do with Flex.

I have a dynamic class, which has an array declared normally, before runtime.Usually, you can dynamically access a variable, whether it has been declared or not with
myClass["variable"] = 4;
however, trying to do this with an array, like so
myClass["array[0]"] = 4;
does not store 4 into the first element of array, and instead stores it into the variable "array[0]". For instance, after executing the previous code,
trace(myClass.array[0]);
traces undefined, where as
trace(myClass["array[0]"]);
traces 4.
Is there anyway I can access the elements of the array dynamically?
