Random Gotoandplay

[aso-products]

Okay, the normal script with the frame numbers.
Do i already know.
But i prefer to use frame labels instead of frame numbers.
So could someone just give me the code with the example labels:
frame1, frame2, frame3, and frame4.
O i don't need the explaination, i get used to it myself.

Excuse me?

[aso-products]

Shut up asshole.
All the words i said are English, and not your fuckin nerd language.

That's English.

I don't understand what you need.

And yes, I fail at copy and paste.

frame1, frame2, frame3 and frame4. Fixed!

[Toast]

var myFrames:Array = ['frame1','frame2','frame3','frame4'];
frame = random(4);
this.gotoAndStop(myFrames[frame]);

Should work :)

[Cybex]

instead of doing gotoAndPlay(1);
do gotoAndPlay("poopoo");
(Thats assuming your frame is labelled poopoo).

What's wrong with that? I understood it totally.

gotoAndPlay("frame"+(random(4)+1));

Noes I think the frame1 frame2 were just an example. Your code wouldn't work if he uses labels like 'poopoo'. He's gonna see your code is shorter, use it, nothing will happen and the poor innocent newb would get confused :(

[Go0gley]

Yours wasn't much better - mine works no matter how many frames he has, yours only works for 4. :P

var myFrames:Array = ['frame1','frame2','frame3','frame4'];
gotoAndStop(random(myFrames.length)]);

Yours just works for 4 too.

[Go0gley]

shhh I was seeing if Toast was awake

The correction doesn't ;D

[Toast]

Yours doesn't work :p

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=2:Line 1: Go0gley can't code. He's just a big big nub.
var myFrames:Array = ['frame1','frame2','frame3','frame4'];

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=2:Line 2: ')' or ',' expected
gotoAndStop(random(myFrames.length)]);

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

The second error is true though :P. u suxxors. I fixed it:

var myFrames:Array = ['frame1','frame2','frame3','frame4'];
gotoAndStop(myFrames[random(myFrames.lengt
h)]);

[Go0gley]

Screw it.. heres a better code

[b]gotoAndPlay(random(_totalframes)+1);[/b
]

[Vengeance]

god, so many people confusing him:
var frames:Array=new Array("attack", "defend", "walk", "pooOnToast");
gotoAndStop(frames[random(frames.length)])
;

Yeah but what if he has an MC with standing, walking, and jumping animation, plus the four random ones? Unfortunatly there are no commands that allow you to return frames' labels... but I can still make the code shorter :P

gotoAndStop(myFrames=['frame1', 'frame2', 'frame3', 'frame4'][random(myFrames.length)]);

[Toast]

Or if you have a lot of MCs...

mcs=['mc1','mc2','mc3'][random(mc.length)]
.gotoAndStop(frames=['frame1','frame2','fr
ame3'][random(frames.length)]);

[Go0gley]

lol I owned myself.. you win

Though my code runs 5.5x faster than yours :P

No I don't think so. You posted 3 codes, 2 work only with frame1, frame2 etc labels instead of poopoo, lolol, etc, and the one that does work with custom labels doesn't work. :P Post a valid one and then we'll calculate how many times faster it's run.

[Go0gley]

gotoAndPlay(mf=['frame1', 'frame2', 'frame3', 'frame4'][random(mf.length)]);

shorter variable names does the trick.. and btw IT'S GOTOANDPLAY

[Toast]

Now let's see your code (with error corrected by me :P) compared to mine and how many times faster it runs.
gotoAndStop(myFrames=['frame1', 'frame2', 'frame3', 'frame4'][random(myFrames.length)]);
gotoandstop run once, with 4 values in MyFrames defined, and a random value ran 4 times.
var myFrames:Array = ['frame1','frame2','frame3','frame4'];
gotoAndStop(myFrames[random(myFrames.lengt
h)]);
array declared with four values, gotoandstop run once (myFrames label being read by flash player twice more times than in mine) and a random value ran 4 times.

Actually it's gotoAndPlay :P

[Go0gley]

Meh, both worked on my Flash 8

WTF is all that BS? Here are my results for both codes from 10000 iterations using getTimer.

Mine:
152 158 156 156 156 156 156 156 158 154 158 156 155 159 158 158 157 158 158 158 156
average 156.6 ms

Yours:
207 207 209 211 203 207 207 211 205 211 203 211 207 211 209 209 207 209 209 209 209

Well none of those gotoAndPlay(array=[][]); work. Try it, try mine, they don't work :P

[Go0gley]

They work =P just not as flow as my script... anyway "aso-products" here's your code:

var mf:Array = ['frame1', 'frame2', 'frame3', 'frame4', 'poopoo', 'etc'];
gotoAndStop(myFrames[random(mf.length)]);

You're right, Toast, yours is wasting 0.05 seconds. How dare you waste peoples time like that!

[Go0gley]

heheh. Damn I mistyped my code again >:(

var mf:Array = ['frame1', 'frame2', 'frame3', 'frame4', 'poopoo', 'etc'];
gotoAndStop(mf[random(mf.length)]);

final version that actually works

Oh I'm so sorry, how could I not notice it takes 0.05 more second? :(

To all you big nubs, the correct spelling is second, and not seconds, because it's < 2. :p
