Re: FLASH: Randomizing

[John Croteau]

Hi Marc and Mingo et all,


What I should have said is you can create pseudo-randomness.

First it is best to have at leat one button to give aunique starting

point for the Randomizer MC.

Second if on the Web you can Load another MC and trigger the start of

the Randomizer MC.


Instead of a Randomizer MC with Links to 1, 2. 3. 4 you would make one

with 20 links or more with random instances links to your 4 Labels.

Such as 2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 4, 3  etc.  


Also you must make sure the number of frmaes in the MC is not even

multiples of the Main timeline (or the MC that are running).


Without any button action the pattern would always be the same starting

with the same number and it will appear random except to someone

starting over.


With a single Button action the starting point would be random with the

same pattern that would appear to be random. If they don't appear random

you should be able to change the lenght of one of the timelines to get

that pseodo random effect.


With a button action for each random event you can get nearly true

randomness.

Note, the button actions don't have to be done at the time of choice.

They just stop the main timeline while the Movie Clip continues so they

are no longer in sync.
