Flash :: Random Function Query

Random Movement Query
Hi all,

I am trying to get a bee to fly randomly around the screen. I have searched the forum and found a tutorial that works - the bee does fly in all directions, except I want the bee to turn around and face the direction in which it flies each time. The script that I am using is below and would appreciate any help with inserting the necessary code. I have tried a number of codes but nothing works.

Code for frame1

//special thanks to Suprabeener for the code
function getdistance(x, y, x1, y1) {
var run, rise;
run = x1-x;
rise = y1-y;
return (_root.hyp(run, rise));
}
function hyp(a, b) {
return (Math.sqrt(a*a+b*b));
}
MovieClip.prototype.reset = function() {
//specify the width and height of the movie
width = 300;
height = 200;
//-------------------
var dist, norm;
this.x = this._x;
this.y = this._y;
this.speed = Math.random()*4+2;
this.targx = Math.random()*width;
this.targy = Math.random()*height;
dist = _root.getdistance(this.x, this.y, this.targx, this.targy);
norm = this.speed/dist;
this.diffx = (this.targx-this.x)*norm;
this.diffy = (this.targy-this.y)*norm;
};
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
if (_root.getdistance(this.x, this.y, this.targx, this.targy)>this.speed) {
this.x += this.diffx;
this.y += this.diffy;
} else {
this.x = this.targx;
this.y = this.targy;
if (!this.t) {
this.t = getTimer();
}
if (getTimer()-this.t>1000) {
this.reset();
this.t = 0;
}
}
this._x = this.x;
this._y = this.y;
};

Code for MC:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
move();
}

Thanks,
B

AS Query- How To Incorporate Random Load
HI all...this is the fourth version of this question (previous posts were not answered) so hopefully, it's clear this time.

I have this script assigned to a button.

homebutton.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "home.swf") {
_root.section = "home.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}

I'd like the "home.swf" to be a random clip chosen out of three .swf's. Is there a way to expand this script to include a random choice script?

Thanks.

My Query String Function
In case anyone was interested, here's a query-string routine I wrote that may be of some use to people. It works just like __GET(tolken) in PHP or Request.QueryString(tolken) in ASP. Just call queryString(tolken) where you want the value of a string you passed to the .swf file in URL. For example: ...src="mymovie.swf?valA=hi&valB=there"
queryString("valA") will return 'hi' and queryString("valB") will return 'there'
Below is the function definition. Just slap it wherever, the function is defined on the global scope.

Code:
_global.queryString = function(tolken) {
// Written by Gus Crawford. No usage restrictions,
// don't have to credit me, be happy and solve problems.
// The entire queryString:
var theQueryString:String = new String();
var theStart:Number = new Number(0);
var theLength:Number = new Number(0);
theQueryString = unescape(_root._url);
theStart = theQueryString.indexOf("?", 0);
theLength = theQueryString.length - theStart;
theQueryString = theQueryString.substr(theStart, theLength);
//_root.out.text = tolken;
// Good, we have the ENTIRE qstring isolated.
// now find our specific tolken
// look for our tolken name preceded by a ? or & symbol.

// look for ?tolken= or &tolken=
var valStart:Number = new Number(0);
var valEnd:Number = new Number(0);
var valLen:Number = new Number(0);

valStart = theQueryString.indexOf("?" + tolken + "=", 0);
if (valStart == -1) {
valStart = theQueryString.indexOf("&" + tolken + "=", 0);
if (valStart == -1) {
return "undef";
}
}
valStart ++;

valEnd = theQueryString.indexOf("&", valStart);
if (valEnd == -1) {
valEnd = theQueryString.length;
}
else {
valEnd --;
}

valLen = (valEnd - valStart) + 1;

var FinalValue:String = new String();
FinalValue = theQueryString.substr(valStart, valLen);

var ChopHere:Number = new Number(0);
var ChopThisLong:Number = new Number(0);

ChopHere = FinalValue.indexOf("=", 0) + 1;
ChopThisLong = (FinalValue.length - ChopHere) + 1;
FinalValue = FinalValue.substr(ChopHere, ChopThisLong);
return FinalValue;
}

Tricky RandomBG Function: Query
I have came across a tricky situation to find a code for:

The following is a code i have generated for displaying random frames when a movie loads. (this is contained in the onClipEvent load)

function randomBg() {
//generate random BG based on random frames within the MC
randFrame = random(3)+1;
bg_graphics.gotoAndStop(randFrame);
}
stop();

There are 3 movie clips placed on each frame of this movie clip (bg_graphics). Each of these movie clips has a short animation that i want to trigger somewhere later in the script.

Q: How could i target this randomly generated frame/movie clip to gotoAndPlay frame 2.

Do i need to generate an ID name for this bg_graphics moive clip?
Please help, anyone?????

Cheers

Has Anyone Tested How Random Is The Math.Random() Function?
Just wondering whether anyone out there has ever run any tests on how random the Math.Random() function is as a random number generator?

I've been asked me to test it to prove that it is random and it seems a pointless waste of time, so I'm hoping to get evidence from elsewhere to convince the powers that be that there's no need to run the tests.

I've googled for it but come up with nothing so I'm hoping there might be someone out there who has already done the research?

Random Function & Unique Random Numbers
Hello, after some searching i can't seem to find any good explanation to how and why i should use the Math.random() function so maybe i should explain how a function i need should work and someone maybe has some ideas.

I'm making a guessing program where you guess the right answer.

The function i have now randomly selects a number from 0 to 5 and then put's these five numbers into an array, the thing is that i need the numbers to be unique and i have no idea on how to make this.

Another thing i need to do is between these numbers that the random() function gets one is to be removed and instead i put the right answer there so now i also need one of the randomizes numbers to not be the right answer.

Also, how should a Math.random() function call look like so i can edit the range of numbers to randomize from?

Random Function
Hi,

I am trying to use the randon function to send the needle of a compass to a random position on a circle, i seem to encounter problems because of the negative numbers that inevitably come up the needle then goes crazy. Could it have something to do with the bounce motion that i have scripted into the needle?

Any ideas, here is the code i have been trying:

on (release) {
var myRandom = Math.floor(Math.random()*360)-1
_root.bounce.hand.rotdest = myRandom;
}

Please help, cheers

Random Function
Hi,

Is it possible to create a random number between two specific numbers?

Rather than just a number between 0 and 1 less than the specified number.

I would particularly like to use this so I can set the alpha of a MC between 50 - 100, and position it in a certain area on the stage.

I am using FlashMX.

Random Function
Hi all,
I'm having a little difficulty with a random function.
Here is the source

filename = ["ad1.swf", "ad2.swf", "ad3.swf", "ad4.swf"];
path = "";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], MovieTarget1);

This is a 1 frame 'holder' to randomly cycle through a series of flash movies.

This tests fine from flash with the [ctrl + enter] method, even when I click on the swf alone it works perfectly. I stick it in a web page, nothing. Even if I export the html page from flash, the html page doesn't display the .swf the way that it does directly from flash.

Has anybody else encountered this? It doesn't work when I test locally and when I placed it on a server, still nothing.
If you have any advice I'd appreciate it,
Regards,
Simon

Random Function...
I'll try to be as descriptive in my problem as possible hopefully to receive a descriptive solution.

I need to create something that initializes a function randomly. Say I have 30 different functions, but I only want one of them called randomly, how would I do this?

I can't make a random variable (let's say var rand = Math.random(30)) and say all the functions are named function1(), function2(), etc... could i make it in such away as the random number has an influence on the function? like functionrand()? I dunno if that's the best way to go at it....

I know I could use a bunch of if /else if statements... i.e. if(rand == 3){ do this} --- but that could be daunting if i have upwards of 100 functions!

Am I going at this right? I have a hundred quotes (created in separate movie clips) and all I'm doing is using the functions to control each ones alpha. So the random generate would generate a random alpha at a time i specify.

I hope it makes sense. Basically I wanna either call a random function or make one function that calls a different movieclip using attachMovie("movie1" -- how would i make this random using linkage?, "quote" -- we can keep that the same bc it'll replace it with another random movieclip later, some depth);

thanks for any help

Random Function
hey guys,

can anyone help me, atm i have a game where the user hits bees, now the bees have a random function, so they can move around:

//this code is on the bees itself

acceleration = 5
newpos = function () {
ranx = Math.round((Math.random ()*200));
rany = Math.round ((Math.random ()*200));
}
newpos();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += ((ranx-this._x)/acceleration);
this._y += ((rany-this._y)/acceleration);
if (Math.round(this._x) == ranx || Math.round(this._y) == rany) {
newpos();
}
};

now i have it so when they get hit, the acceleration = 30. the bees get dizzy.

after you hit it again it will splat, i want to make the bees come towards the screen, so they can splat on the screen, in the users face. can anyone help me, much appreciated

Random Function
Hello!

What is the best way to find a random number that is not equal to two specific values?
ex:
1) find random number (let's say from 0 to 5)
2) check if the result is not 4 or 5
3) If it is, run the random function again and again until the condition is met.

Or maybe there's a way to set up that at once (find random number that is not equal to 4 or 5).
Thanks!

Q: Random Delay Function
Hi
I'm trying to write(unsuccessfully) a random delay function. I want it to be generic enough so that it can be applied to many MC's in one movie.
It should therfore accept arguments for:
1 minimum delay(in seconds),
2 maximum delay(in seconds),
3 name of MC the delay applies to

Can anyone help with the proper syntax?

As well, what is the best way to have this function constantly running,
a) call it constantly from an On clipEvent enterframe MC
or
b) intermittently from say, the end of the MC where the delay is occurring?
Thanks in advance!

Random Picture Function? (mx)
using: Flash MX

I am new here, just have a question about a random picture function i'm trying to get my flash banner working for my website.

here is my testing page:
http://www.shoutoutdesigns.com/new/test.html

as you can see, it is a bit messed up! ...I cannot figure out the actionScript for a random picture...see, how there are a few pictures flashing at the moment? ...I generally want ONE picture show up at a time. (not really a rotating thing)

currently, i have a mask layer..under it, is the movie clip where those pictures are. I tried putting this:

------------------------------------------------------------
//invoke the functionl pick a random number between 1-10
var destinationFrame = myRandom(1,10);

// now, send the playhead to that frame and stop!
gotoAndStop(destinationFrame);
------------------------------------------------------------
in the 1st frame of the movie clip (where the pictures are located) ..but it doesn't work...

so bascially, when someone comes onto my webpage, i want 1 of the 10 pictures come up, so if they were to refresh the page, it different picture would show up --does that make sense?? maybe i'm just going overboard with this?!

I hope someone can help me!
thanks for reading y'all.

Calling Random Function
GDay FK, Ok, heres the deal... Ive got 4 MCs in the library all exported under the same name that call them in the array. What Im looking to do is have the timer randomly generate a time, than randomly attach a MC out of the array and play it. I have a 2 frames. the first frame is a menu screen, this code lies on the second frame. What happens is, after a random amount of time, it jumps back to frame ones menu screen? Not quite sure where its getting that crazy idea from. Anyways, if youre infinite knowledge can shed a little light on where I left turned Id appreciate it... thanks.
Geoff

Code:
function pause(){
play();
clearInterval(timer);
}
DangerEvent = new Array();
DangerEvent[1] = "BLMissile";
DangerEvent[2] = "BRMissile";
DangerEvent[3] = "TRMissile";
DangerEvent[4] = "Mig23";
function AttachDangerEvent(){
for (m=1; m<=4; m++) {
attachMovie("DangerEvent"+[m],"DangerEvent"+[m]+"MC",10);
}
}
timer = setInterval(pause, random(5000));

q._y -= k;
} else if (p == 3) {
q._x += k;
q._y += k;
} else if (p == 4) {
q._x += k;
q._y -= k;
}

attachMovie("blob1", "blob1", 1);

Random Function, How To Reset?
Hey guys. I'm working on a program I use in class to keep my kids' heads from exploding on a daily basis. The major aspect of this is a grid with nine text boxes which get randomly filled with vocab words, grammar problems, etc. (language arts class) for them to puzzle over.

Here's my problem. It's kind of complicated. I've got three types of functions.

The first chooses a number from 1 - 5, and based on the outcome, decides whether to stick vocab, grammar, or prefixes into the boxes. Once this has been decided, it runs the next function, which randomly selects (out of 75 or 50 or 20) the one item to stick in each box. I save the item (as a string) to the variable I want to use, and then I assign that item to each individual text box. The outcome looks something like this:

boxfill();
_level0.box_1 = selection;
boxfill();
_level0.box_2 = selection;
boxfill();
_level0.box_3 = selection;

and so on for nine boxes. boxfill() is the function that decides WHAT goes in the box, and "selection" is what it has decided on. Here's the weird thing: it will re-randomize to choose whether it should stick a vocab, grammar, or prefix into the box - but then it KEEPS the same one it chose for the last one. God this is so confusing trying to explain it. (example: for nine boxes it will choose three vocab words, three grammar problems, and three prefixes, but each vocab word is the same, each grammar the same, etc.) Is anyone following this?

Basic question: How do I reset the "randomization" so that it returns a new item? I'm banging my head against the wall. (My seventh graders are, too.)

Random Function Not Working
Hello,
I've been trying to create a flash website for two days now. So far most of it is up. However Im having trouble with loading random movies or jpegs for display on my site. The code is correct - I've tested it. Im using swfobject and I would like to know if anyone else has had problems like this.

Here is my code...
_root.loadMovie("portfolio" + random(25)+ ".jpg");
container._xscale = 100;
container._yscale = 100;

Its just the random function that seems to be causing the problem as I've created a gallery that loads up specific images using the loadmovie command.
So is there a way to load up random images without the random function, perhaps using an array - if so how? Ot if anyone else could think of a way please let me know!

Thanks for Helping.

Random Function With Sound
Hello,

I am working on a piece now that will have 10 invisible MC's (1-10) stacked on frame 1 in seperate layers that function like buttons on the main timeline. Each of these mc's will trigger a corresponding mc (A-J) to become visible and play and also start a sound file. This I have all worked out.

What I am writing about is a random function. When 1 triggers A, I would like one of five distinct MC's inside of A to be randomly selected to play, both with sound and with image.

Right now I'm working on the random function with sound, and I'm in need of soome assistance. I'm not sure of my approach, but why I'm stuck in particular now is because ususally when attaching a sound to an MC, when the sound is called it is through the name of the sound rather than the mc name and as I've created a random function I can't very well call the sound name as then it won't be random. Here's what I've got:

sound1 = new Sound(soundHolder1_mc);
sound1.attachSound("chime");
sound2 = new Sound(soundHolder2_mc);
sound2.attachSound("psychic");
sound3 = new Sound(soundHolder3_mc);
sound3.attachSound("doctor");

snd1 = this._parent.soundHolder1_mc.sound1;
snd2 = this._parent.soundHolder2_mc.sound2;
snd3 = this._parent.soundHolder3_mc.sound3;

var i = Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*3);
soundMaker1_mc = eval("snd"+i);

invisible1_mc.onRollOver = function() {
sound1.start(0,100);
}

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Running A Random Function
Hey everyone,

I've searched and.. I think I'm just not quite sure what I'm looking at... so here's what I want to do.

function bowie()
{
menu_mc.car._alpha = 100;
getStage();
new Tween(menu_mc.car, '_x', null, sw + 500, -500, 2, true);
bowieSound.start();
}

Right now I have it so when this function finishes

function finishIntro()
{
fade(intro_ring.welcome, 'out', 5);
menuControl();

// This loads a certain animation to surprise the user
god = setInterval(function(){godzilla();clearInterval(go d); }, 5000 );

}

It sets an interval to call the function godzilla. I want basically to use this function finishIntro, and in that last line.. in 5 seconds call either godzilla, mj, or bowie and I want flash to pick.

How do I do this?

Function For Random With No Repeats?
Hello, I'd like to have a random number generator that, once it chooses a number, deletes it from the pool of possibilities (it's for a photo gallery that shuffles images from an array)...either that or it keeps repeating the function until it gets a number that hasn't been used.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Probability And Random Function ?
Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to define different probability in flash. For example I want a random number between 1 and 10 but I want to be able to change the probability of appearing of one or more numbers. For example I want 2 to be 20% more likely to appear than all the rest.

I'm sure it can be done with some twisted Math.Random() functions but isn't there a better way like a predefined function or parameter that I'm unaware of ?....

thanks...

Lia
