Re: FLASH: Randomize Movie Clip Placement : Revisited

[Jose/DoubleYou]

Well, maybe you could have your MC named sequentally (movie1,movie2...) and 

then just set a loop.

I'll give you the F4 version since it's easier to get to the F5 version 

than do the opposite way :o)


         Loop while (i<NumberofMCs)

         Set Property ("/movie"&i, X Position) = Random(whatever)

         Set Property ("/movie"&i, Y Position) = Random(whatever)

         Set Property ("/movie"&i, X Scale) = Random(whatever)

         Set Property ("/movie"&i, Y Scale) = 

GetProperty("/movie"&i,_xscale) -------->just in case you don't want to 

distort them

         Set Property ("/movie"&i, Alpha) = Random(whatever)+50 

------------->to ensure they will be visible

         Set Property ("/movie"&i, Rotation) = Random(whatever)


         i=i+1

         End Loop



Then when you get the button clicked you just have to tell the movie to 

play that frame again.


With the OOP that F5 offers it's really nicer and cleaner to do this sort 

of things.
