Randomly Moving Objects
Does anyone know a script that can randomly move objects on a rollover then revert back after rolled out? I plan to use this as a menu, so when someone rolls over text, the letters will move seperately, but different every single time. I will post my FLA if needed to show what I want.

Thanks in advance,

Randomly Moving A Movieclip
hi you all, hope you can help me with this one, i want to move a movieclip around on stage. the most important thing is, it's movements should be randomly. You could compare it with an annoying fly buzzing above your head. if you want a more concrete example ... try www.thedesignersrepublic.com and get their screensaver. they use that very thing i want to accomplish.

Moving Buttons Randomly/ I.e. Fish
I need to make a flash movie where I have randomly moving/floating buttons (fish), which upon clicking, will animate (i.e. blowfish will puff up and make a sound). I figured out the bubble element in the background, but the fish element is giving me trouble.

I've found different sample movies (even aquarium samples) to help serve as examples, but am having trouble tweaking and combining them into my specific needs. They either have -just- randomly moving objects (no mouse events), or if they do have mouse events, they have other additional stuff (i.e. a start button and toggles between different shapes) that I don't need.

What would be the easiest way to move a button on random paths across the screen, and still integrate a mouse-event? Is there a good sample somebody could show me, or point me to a good tutorial?

thanks so much!

Drag And Drop Randomly Moving Obj...
hi all ,
i am trying to do a drag and drop game .
i want to have some multiple objects flying randomly around the scene and i want the user to drag and drop them into a box ...
when the user drags the same color object for three times into the box
he wins a prize related to that color .

i have solved the drag and drop part like this (thanks to kirupa!!);

on (press) {
startDrag("_root.green" ;
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
if (_root.green._droptarget == "/computer" {
_root.computer.gotoandStop("green" ;
_root.pieceCount += 1;
if (_root.pieceCount == 3) {
_root.prize.gotoAndStop("you won the prize nr 5" ;
}
}
}



so if the user drags the same object for 3 times onto the box he wins a prize related to that object .

and to do the game more challanging i want to make the object to move randomly around the stage ;
so i added this code on the objects ;

onClipEvent (load) {

width = 800;
height = 600;
speed = Math.round(Math.random()*2)+1;
//initial positions
x = Math.random()*width;
y = Math.random()*height;
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
x_new = Math.random()*width;
y_new = Math.random()*height;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//x movement
if (x_new>this._x) {
sign_x = 1;
} else {
sign_x = -1;
}
dx = Math.abs(x_new-this._x);
if ((dx>speed) || (dx<-speed)) {
this._x += sign_x*speed;
} else {
x_new = Math.random()*width;
}
//y movement
if (y_new>this._y) {
sign_y = 1;
} else {
sign_y = -1;
}
dy = Math.abs(y_new-this._y);
if ((dy>speed) || (dy<-speed)) {
this._y += sign_y*speed;
} else {
y_new = Math.random()*height;
}
}

the problem,
both codes work ok when they are seperated ...
but together the drag and drop doesnt work ... after you click the object remains attaced to the mouse in a strange way ...

any ideas please...

Randomly Generating Moving Numbers/symobls
What I'm trying to do is create 1s and 0s that move down behind a graphic that i'm using as a background trying to give it more depth. I want the 1s and 0s to be random and not look like a loop but at the same time i want them moving towards the bottom of the screen so they look like they're scrolling. I have a limited knowledge of action script so if you know a tutorial or something that would help too.

Randomly Moving Monkey Tail Script
Hello Flash Folks,

I have a question regarding actionscript for a moving line (MX04). I have looked in the archives with no success.

I have a monkey tail annimation that moves with tweens, but is not nearly random enough. I would like to use code to move the tail's end around.

Does anyone have code to keep one end of a line stationary while the other curls and waves? The monkey will be so grateful!

Seriously...Thanks for your help.

Combining Randomly Moving Body With Springy Leg
Hi I've been reading previous threads which have provided separate answers to the two theories of random movement and elasticity. But now I can't figure out how to combine them.

What I want is a movieclip (lets say 'body.mc'), moving randomly around the stage with a second movieclip ('foot_mc') that springs to the coordinates of the constantly moving 'body_mc'.

I found the code on bit-101.com, for the springy foot (part of making a creature):
bit-101.com

The problem with this is that I don't want the body to be draggable, I want it to move randomly of it's own accord.


Code:
foot_mc.onEnterFrame = spring;
function spring() {
if (!this.dragging) {
var dx = body_mc._x-this._x;
var dy = body_mc._y-this._y;
this.vx += dx*k;
this.vy += dy*k;
this.vx *= damp;
this.vy *= damp;
this._x += this.vx;
this._y += this.vy;
} else {
this.vx = this._x-this.oldx;
this.vy = this._y-this.oldy;
this.oldx = this._x;
this.oldy = this._y;
}
}


How do i remove the 'if' statement, with the dragging clause, and make the foot always spring to the body?

The random movement code, I found here:

kirupa.com

I hope someone out there has the expertise to help, or just shed some light.

grateful in advance

[FMX] Stop Objects From Overlapping When Moving Randomly
Hi I'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and I need to make dots move randomly across the screen without overlapping each other as they move. Then one of the dots need to turn to a different colour for 2 seconds and then return to its original colour.

I can make the dots move randomly but need help
1) to prevent them from overlapping
2) make the dot turn a different colour momentarily

If you can direct me to a starting place or a resource where I can find out how to do these things (or better yet, tell me how) your help will be greatly appreciated!

Moving MovieClip On Stage Randomly With Easin..help
Hello everyone,

I am trying to move a movie clip with easing.
Stage size: width(300) height(100);

I am trying to write function which would simple move the mc_clip on to the stage back and forth with easing. This is what I have so far:


PHP Code:

function player(mc:MovieClip)
{
    speed = 20; // the higher the slower
    this._x = this._x + (100 - this._x)


I don't know how to assign the stage width which I tried:
(Stage.width - this._x)

I would use setInterval to invoke the function every two seconds which I think got it:


PHP Code:

myInterval = setInterval(player, 5000);


Any help would highly be appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

Trouble Keeping Randomly Moving Objects Contained
hey out there hows it going
i've got a problem that has been bugging me for a while now i've tried a couple of scripts but no solution. hopefully some flash guru can help me out here. here goes

i have linked 8 instances of an object on stage with the attachMovie script, these 8 objects are then told to randomly pick
1 of 8 directions to move in for a certain number of frames, when the movie hits the last frame the script repeats and they choose a new direction. the problem is that the objects eventually escape the screen past the size of the movie. to counter this i created another object that i named 'border', used the getBounds script and tried to keep the other eight ojects to stay within the xMin xMax yMin and Ymax of the 'border'. - it doesn't want to work
if anyone out there has the patience to figure out what i've done wrong then you are my hero.

heres the scrip:

// this part puts all eight objects on screen and creates the motion--it works fine

for (n=1; n<9; n++) {
_root.attachMovie("blackdotcase", "dotcase"+n, n+1);
_root["dotcase"+n]._x = 206;
_root["dotcase"+n]._y = 198;


// heres the function ( "chooser" is another expression that chooses 1 of eight directions)


function motion (speed) {

if (_root["chooser"+n] == 1) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._x += speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 2) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._x -= speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 3) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._y -= speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 4) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._y += speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 5) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._x -= speed;
_root["dotcase"+n]._y -= speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 6) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._x += speed;
_root["dotcase"+n]._y += speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 7) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._x += speed;
_root["dotcase"+n]._y -= speed;
}
if (_root["chooser"+n] == 8) {
_root["dotcase"+n]._x -= speed;
_root["dotcase"+n]._y += speed;
}
}
}

// all is well until here. to keep the motion contained to a certain area i added a new object got its bounds and created a new function

_root.bigbox = _root.border.getBounds();
_root.top = _root.border.yMax;
_root.bottom = _root.border.yMin;
_root.left = _root.border.xMin;
_root.right = _root.border.xMax;

for (n=1; n<9; n++) {

function check () {
if (_root["dotcase"+n]._x<=_root.right) {
_root["chooser"+n] == 2;
}
if (_root["dotcase"+n]._x>=_root.left) {
_root["chooser"+n] == 1;
}
if (_root["dotcase"+n]._y<=_root.top) {
_root["chooser"+n] == 3;
}
if (_root["dotcase"+n]._y>=_root.bottom) {
_root["chooser"+n] == 4;
}
}

// with this code i hoped to predetermine what number "chooser" would be in the case of the objects escaping the border and making them move back inwords. i put this function above the original werever the original was used but it didn't work.

if anyone has any ideas i'm all ears cuz i'm fresh out
thanks in advance

ok, there r types of tile pieces like corner pieces which r explained in the lib thing (the movinf thing can go on 1s and not 0s) so then i make a map of these pieces and its parsed. whenever a 1 or 0 is added, it has the name x+t+y, its x, a t to seperate it and its y. also, its given a variable r to tell what kind it is to something later. ok

now the moving thing. it checks the x and y of the tiles around it in the cardinal directions, and if they r 1's its inputed into an array. it chooses a random index in the array, takes that x and y and goes there. c/p the code into u re flash. it works for like seconds then immediately goes intot he upper rite corner, 0, 0. whats wrong?

Trying To Create Randomly Moving/color-changing Shape
I am pretty new to Flash, so I'm really just trying to figure things out. Anyway, I have a MC that is a red circle. I have an instance of it on the stage, and the AS for the instance is as follows

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
_alpha=random(100);
_x=_x=random(800);
_y=_y=random(600);
}
This accomplishes the task of the shape moving to a random location and changing transparency every frame. The last thing that I would like to do is get it to change to a random color every frame as well. How can I do this? Thanks for the help!

Thanks,

TOTAL RANDOMNESS.
Thanks. By the way, Im new at this so please be gentle.

Randomly Selecting A Movie
I have been trying to get a certain animation to randomly choose a movie from a certain set of movies. Thusfar, I haven't really gotten very far, to be honest. I'm horrible at coding .
The only thing I've figured out is that I can generate a random number between 0 and 8 using the actionscript command:
code: f = random (8);

When it comes to actually using that to randomly choose a certain movie out of 8 different movies, I can't seem to get any further.

I'm hoping someone knows how to do this , if you've got the knowhow this should be a piece of cake.

If you need any more information about the movie, just ask.

I know the first problem is that it only executes on load. How do I fix this? Also, the instance name of the movie is 'logo_anim'. Will the rest of the code work?

Playing Movie Clips Randomly
i'm wondering if anyone can help with what i'm sure is a relatively simple task:

i'm building a flash file with a number of small movie clips in it. i would like these clips to play randomly (so that there are little animations playing here and there)

i'm afraid i'm no expert with actionscript but i appreciate it'll require a bit of maths
alternatively if you can direct me in the direction of any tutorials that cover the subject i'd appreciate that

Randomly Generating Movie Clips?
Hello!
I want to have a button, that when clicked, prompts 5 movie clips to randomly display a movie clip within them. The names of the clips are:
grey
red
purple
green
blue
the interior clips for the movies are grey_1, grey_2 , grey_3, grey_4 and grey_5. This format is followed for each of the following clips. Do I use arrays to do this or is there a much simpler way? Or should I attach Math.random to the button?

not really sure of what to do...
THANKS in advance!!!

Randomly Attaching Movie Clips
Hi,

I want to randomly import movie clips from a 'library.swf';
(all the mc's within this .swf are linked to be exported as
"01", "02", etc.)

The code at the moment looks like this;

1st frame;
placeHolder.loadMovie("library.swf");

2nd frame;
stop ();
// mc 01
placeHolder.attachMovie("01", "my1", 2);
placeHolder.my1._x = 8;
placeHolder.my1._y = 18;
placeHolder.my1._xscale = 100;
placeHolder.my1._yscale = 100;

What I want to do is to, instead of using "01", "02", etc.
placeHolder.attachMovie("01", "my1", 2);
and use an action to randomly import movies from "01" to "50".

Any help or comments will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Lenny.

1. I am trying to make a game where you shoot at targets (a 'target' movie clip with Linkage 'targetlink').
2. The targets randomly appear.

I am trying to use attachMovieClip to do this, and so far, absolutely nothing happens when I test the movie. Any clues?

Here's my script, if that helps anything:


PHP Code:




createTarget = function(factor, x, y) {
    var shootMe = this.attachMovie("targetlink", "Target", 0);
    // variables for expedited code execution
    var mr = Math.random, mf = Math.floor
    
    // put target at specific x and y on stage
    shootMe._x = x;
    if (shootMe._x>40 || shootMe._x<510) {
        shootMe._y = mf(mr()*400);
    } else {
        shootMe._y = y;
    }
    
    // set target's rotation
    target._rotation = mf(mr()*360)-180;
};
createTarget();







Now, I can get it to generate the movie clip at this point, at the correct random coordinates and stuff, BUT.......

it appears to be on a "layer" way above everything else in the movie. So my custom cursor can't target it, for one thing, and it is not clickable, meaning that the game is very boring (as there is nothing to do but look at a target).

How on earth do I get this thing on a more interactive level? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Additionally, the cursor is supposed to turn red, etc. when over the movie clip, and I've got code for it that works, but how do I make sure this code is still applied once the instance is randomly generated?

Whew... anyone who can help me on this gets mucho thanks :)

Thanks a ton,

Movie Clips Randomly Selecting
Hello,

I wonder if someone can help me with this dilemma I have. Ok, I have 3 MC's in the Library which I already placed Links to it, in order to use the AttachMovie Method to call them, now, how can I placed them via Randomly on the screen using the AttachMovie Method? I've read that one can 'Load' random Movies(ex:swf's, jpeg's, sounds, ect..) via the LOADMOVIE command, however, I would like to load these MC's using the AttachMovie method randomly, is there a way to do this without using the LOADMOVIE? Also, I would like it to be a continuous loop....These 3 MC's would be placed on the background of the stage....I would appreciate ur help on this matter..........Thanks and God Bless....

Load Movie Banners Randomly
I'm trying to sqeak out a site (even though I'm a print guy) and I've run into a question.

You can view the site-in-progress at: www.taylor-homes.com

You'll notice at the bottom of the main page (lev.1) that I've got a little animated ad (which is currently a movie symbol on the same timeline).

What this client wants to do is sell tons of these ads and so I've got to figure out the best way to have approx. 20 ads up at any one time that will load and run randomly as people come to the site. I've seen it done before in HTML but I wouldn't know where to start here.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Play Duplicate Movie Randomly?
This is probably very, very simple...but I have looked and am frustrated trying to figure it out being new to this...
but here goes.

I have a movie clip (a square that rotates and fades) that i have duplicated on the stage 50 times to cover the whole stage.I want them to play randomly-dissolving at different times to reveal the background.

do I need to name each one? even if it is the same movie? or is there a actionscript to play it at random times?
Since I am a newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated and where I put the code.

thanks!!
