I’ve now a CPU friendly firework clip that needs to be randomly generated on the stage, using the following code;
dupMovie = function () {
for (i=0; i<100; i++) {
circle.duplicateMovieClip(“circle”+i, i, {_x:Math.random()*300, _y:Math.random()*200, _alpha:Math.random()*50});
with (eval(“circle”+i)) {
_xscale = _yscale=Math.random()*300;
}
}
};
dupMovie();
But I need to somehow throw an interval in there that calls the dupmovie function so that they appear on the stage with a duration of anywhere between 0.1 and 1 second between them. But I don’t imagine that to be too tricky.
Although i’m at a roadblock, because the code that ‘draws’ the firework itself is Flash 5 code, and wont work with flash player 8;
i = 2;
while (Number(i)<150) {
duplicateMovieClip(“isk1”, “isk” add i, i);
setProperty(“isk” add i, _rotation, random(360));
scalefactor = 40+Number(random(60));
setProperty(“isk” add i, _xscale, scalefactor);
setProperty(“isk” add i, _yscale, scalefactor);
i = Number(i)+1;
}
So I can’t get to the random placement part of it without optimizing the above for Flash 8.
If anyone has any pointers it would be muchos appreciated.
