Randomize()
theres a movie i'm working on, which involves generating random numbers. It seems a lot of the time I am getting the same numbers over and over (or very close to the same ones) I am trying to figure out how to keep this from happening.

My first thought is there is something in my algorithm causing the numbers to be limited to a very small confined range, but then I just remembered that in some languages you need to call a randomize() function of some sort to keep the numbers from only being random the first time.

Does flash have anything happening of this sort where you need to call some form of randomize() ?

this is my function I am using to create random numbers


Code:


function randomRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number
{
var theresult = min - 1;
if(max<min){theresult=min;min=max;max=theresult;}
if(min==max){max++;}

theresult = Math.round(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;

if(theresult<min){
return min;
}else if(theresult>max){
return max;
}else{
return theresult;
}
}



the min and max variables are typically something like 100 and 250 etc

Help Randomize .attachSound
sibilance

i've got two sounds, both with linkage set up and named. i've been busting my head trying to:

a) randomize the sound that's loaded
b) using the same variable that the randomized sound is loaded into, play 3 times with a delay of 5 seconds

now, i've got a delay function working fine, but that's in a child movieClip that tells the _parent timeline when to stop and start. i'm assuming i need to pass the variable to the child movieClip, but have no idea how.

a little help, please?

Randomize An Array
I have a text array of questions followed by the correct answer and 3 wrong answers. Right now it has 10 questions. Works fine. BUT I want to have 25 questions out of which 10 are randomly selected each time the quiz is started. I am very new at this and basically "reverse programing" examples I've found. Can anyone point me to an example to look at?

Randomize Question.
I'm going to turn a SWF I'm working on into a Screen Saver. It will have no buttons or interaction. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is to have it randomize the begining part. I was looking into having it load an external SWF, or pulling an object straight from the Library.

What method would be the easiest? I don't want it to load a txt file or a JPG. I have short MC's I want to work with. I'm not very comfortable with scripting in Flash MX, I could probably hack some code up if somebody posted it, but that's about it. Anyone care to help me out here with an example of code where it'll either pick a random object from a Library folder, or even just pick a random frame on the main movie clip to show a varied intro before it goes into the heart of the screen saver.
Also about setting a timer, not all the clips are exactly the same length, but I would have to set some sort of timer so it wouldn't jump right to the next scene right?
thanks!

Looping/randomize;)
hello, im creating an astronoid game for the mobile where I want the comets to attack from 8 different directions (the spaceship is in the middle of the screen).

Here I've got the code but I want to create it so it loads a comet (komet_mc) and then randomizes the choose of directions mentioned bellow:




//Direction 1
var komet_mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("komet", "komet_mc"+Counter, bulletScope.getNextHighestDepth());
komet_mc._x = spaceship_mc._x -200;
komet_mc._y = spaceship_mc._y -200;
komet_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += 3;
this._y += 3;
};
//Direction 2
var komet_mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("komet", "komet_mc"+Counter, bulletScope.getNextHighestDepth());
komet_mc._x = spaceship_mc._x;
komet_mc._y = spaceship_mc._y -200;
komet_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += 3;
};
//Direction 3
var komet_mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("komet", "komet_mc"+Counter, bulletScope.getNextHighestDepth());
komet_mc._x = spaceship_mc._x + 200;
komet_mc._y = spaceship_mc._y - 200;
komet_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x -= 3;
this._y += 3;
};

//Direction 4
var komet_mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("komet", "komet_mc"+Counter, bulletScope.getNextHighestDepth());
komet_mc._x = spaceship_mc._x - 200;
komet_mc._y = spaceship_mc._y;
komet_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += 3;
};

Randomize Questions
ActionScript Code:
var myArray = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4);

Array.prototype.randomize = function() {
 return this.sort(function ([b]a, b[/b]) {trace(a+", "+b); return (random(2) == 0) ?[b]-1:-1[/b];});
}

trace(myArray.randomize());
1. Where did a and b come from?

2. What's the return 1, 0, -1 means?


Any expert can explain for me?

2 Arrays Randomize Together
I've got 2 arrays that I want to randomize together. So if array one (1,2,3,4,5) is randomized to be (5,2,3,4,1), how can I have the second array randomize to that order?

///Here's my randomize function///
Array.prototype.rn= function()
{
ret= new Array();
var copy= this.concat();
while(copy.length > 0)
{
rnd=int(Math.random()*copy.length)
ret.push(copy[rnd])
copy.splice(rnd,1);
}
return ret
}

///Here's me calling the first array to be random///
b=zArray.rn();

how can I say "make the xArray correspond with the random order of the zArray" with AS?

Thanks
Igby

Randomize Array
how can you randomize the results of an array in a for loop?

I am loading data in via xml and when doing a for loop to iterate through instead of showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ect... how can i randomize for [i] ? If i do it in the for loop it keeps doing the randomizing and gets stuck and if after things are already loaded. how is it done?

Randomize Questions
Hi

I have used the flash mx 2004 quiz template.  
I have 47 questions that i have set to ask a random 10.  I have done all this through the componant inspector.  Trouble is, it doesn't ask 10 questions - sometimes it asks a few sometimes them all ???

Anyone seen this before ?  Or does anyone know how to get to the code that is used within this template ?

Randomize Pattern
I'd like aan action script to random a pattern with 2 movieclips. The movieclips are both square 20x20 pixels, but they have a different color. Let's say I want 15 squares (movieclips) on the x axes en 8 on the y axes.
Each time you load, the pattern will looks different, not in the form (15 squares x 8 squares) but in color impression.
I have to work with speciaal colors, is not possible voor what I need to randomize the value of r, g, b.

Repost: Randomize Problem
Sorry about reposting, but I really need the answer on this question!

I have this questionairre, similar to 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' [you'll have to excuse my spelling ]

What I need, is a system that both randomizes the questions, and, at the same time, prevents the same question appearing twice in the same session..

This is the code i use now, and it works fine, cept that it can show two questions in a row.. and that is a bad idea

So if you can look at it and perhaps give me a hint of how I can do it (you don't have to write the code for me, unless you really want to), because I have no clue..

One more thing; the code here is defines on frame 1 in tne questionairre, and buttons call the function 'toanswer' with a number from 0 to 3..

questions = ["What is the name of the Norwegian prime minister?",
"What is the application used to make this question called?",
"Which rock band has a song called 'Aurora'?",
"Why is this game called 'Egg game'?",
"In which movie was the following said: 'There is no spoon'"]

answers0 = ["Jens Stoltenberg",
"Jan Pettersen",
"Carl I. Hagen",
"Kjell Magne Bondevik"]

answers1 = ["Adobe Photoshop",
"Notepad",
"Macromedia Flash",
"Microsoft Word"]

answers2 = ["Rage Against The Machine",
"Papa Roach",
"Smashing Pumpkins",
"Foo Fighters"]

answers3 = ["No specific reason",
"The author thought it was a nice name",
"Because the author have no imagination",
"Because there is a egg-shaped score thing"]

answers4 = ["Crocodile Dundee",
"The Matrix",
"Speed",
"Rush Hour"]

correctanswer = [4,3,4,4,2]
currentq = Math.floor(Math.random()*5)
question = questions[currentq]
ans1 = eval("answers"+currentq)[0]
ans2 = eval("answers"+currentq)[1]
ans3 = eval("answers"+currentq)[2]
ans4 = eval("answers"+currentq)[3]

function toanswer(answer) {
if (answer == correctanswer[currentq]) {
egg._x += 10
} else {
egg._x -= 10
}
currentq = Math.floor(Math.random()*5)
question = questions[currentq]
ans1 = eval("answers"+currentq)[0]
ans2 = eval("answers"+currentq)[1]
ans3 = eval("answers"+currentq)[2]
ans4 = eval("answers"+currentq)[3]
}

Thanks in advance!

Randomize Load Movie...
Im looking to load 5 small movies in a random order.
My idea was to has 1 movie, that has a script that puts the movies in a random order, then loads them into itself. (therefore creating 6 movies in all)

Is this possible, if so, how. Also, how would i make sure that the first movie finishes before the next one is loaded?

Lastly, once all movies have been played, id like it to start again.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Randomize Quiz Questions
Ok, conceptually I think I know what I have to do but I am stuck on how to code it if someone could help or point me in the right direction mucho thanks.

I have coded a series of questions (38 total) seperated by framelabels on one timeline. What I need to do now is everytime the quiz is loaded 25 of the 38 Questions are picked at random and the user answers those questions, and gets a score at the end. I am thinking that I have to start by populating an array with 25 non-repeating numbers between 1 and 38, and then use that array to control what frame label to go to. But I have no effing clue on how to populate the array that way.

Thanks again for any help.

Randomize Array (smart)
hey all. i have a prototype function that randomizes the sequence of any array:

Array.prototype.randomizeArray = function () {
return this.sort(function(a,b) {return (Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) ? 1 : -1;});
};

however, i would like to modify it so that it the randomization guarantees that the no element in the new sequence is in the same position as it was in the original sequence.

in other words, if i have animalArray=new Array("cat","dog","bunny") and i call animalArray.randomizeArray(); ... then i want to make sure that the new animalArray never has "cat" in position 0, nor "dog" in position 1, nor "bunny" in position 2. what is the most efficient way to do this?

Randomize Function Call - Possible?
Greetings all,

I am hoping this is possible. What I want to do is call functions randomly.

For example, I have the following functions which do specific things:

Itemone_01()
Itemone_02()
Itemtwo_01()
Itemtwo_02()
etc

Can I call these functions randomly? Right now I have everything hard coded and things just go in sequence. Am hoping to spice things up a bit.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[F5] Randomize Penner's EaseOutBounce
My sliding text uses Robert Penner's easeOutBounce nicely to come to a halt just like train cars as each letter independently jars to a halt. Now I want to randomize some of the motion so the letter's halting appear less homogeneous. Anyone have a fuller understanding of the optimized code and where to play with some randomization of parameters? Here's the code of interest:

MovieClip.prototype.easeOutBounce = function (t, b, c, d){
if ((t/=d) < (1/2.75)) {
return c*(7.5625*t*t) + b;
} else if (t < (2/2.75)) {
return c*(7.5625*(t-=(1.5/2.75))*t + .75) + b;
} else if (t < (2.5/2.75)) {
return c*(7.5625*(t-=(2.25/2.75))*t + .9375) + b;
} else {
return c*(7.5625*(t-=(2.625/2.75))*t + .984375) + b;
}

Randomize Where The Playhead Starts
I have what's seems to be pretty simple, but is not working out for me

I have a slideshow with motion tweens in it, very simple change photo looking thing. Only thing is I don't want the first frame to always play first, I would like to be random when the movie reloads. What AS would I use to tell on a load that I would like it randomized between five diff frames to start on? (ie: frame 1, 94, 178, 262, 346) Anybody have a simple solution to this???

Hey,

Does anyone know how I'd randomize quiestions for a quiz that I created. I have about 100 written questions, but I'd like for the quiz to randomly ask only 10 apiece (each time the quiz is taken). Therefore, no student would have the exact same quiz.

Any help is appreciated

Randomize Object Position?
Okay, here's the deal. I'm trying to figure out how to randomize three objects in a single slide. You know three card monte? Same kind of deal, I've got three different images, one of which is the 'correct' one. I've got it to run perfectly, all I need to do is be able to randomize the order so the user won't automatically know where to click (it's all about deception). I'm guessing there's some way to do it using Arrays, but I have no clue how to go about that.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you all can offer.

Quiz Only Works With Randomize On?
I'm using the built in Flash quiz template for my quiz and found that when Randomize is on, I get a repeat of the first question every time and I've checked to make sure the question is only on the timeline once.

When I turn off Randomize, the quiz navigation no longer works. I have the questions set to navigation off and I'm using the instance of "mc, frameNav" called "nav" built into the quiz template.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

The FLA file is too big to attach, please PM me and I can send it to you.

Thanks in advance!
