Random frames

1

I have this movie which loads a new, random frame every time a certain button is pressed. So I’ve gotten that far…I was wondering, though, if anybody knew how you could have it so each frame could only be visited once…the code I have for the random frame is…

stop();
button.onPress = function(){
_root.questions.gotoAndStop(random(6));
};

It occured to me to create an array and use the splice command but my rather ham-handed actionscripting skills are already stretched to the limit:)
Thanks!

i didn’t test it… but at least it should give you a better idea. :wink:

var i, frames = [];
for (i=0; i<_root.question._totalframes; i++) {
	frames* = i+1;
}
myButton.onRelease = function() {
	var ran = Math.floor(Math.random()*frames.length);
	_root.questions.gotoAndStop(frames[ran]);
	frames.splice(ran, 1);
};

You could set up an array containing all the numbers of frames that can be visited. Then as each one gets loaded, knock it out of the array, and make it so that you can only go to a frame number that’s still in one of the array elements…

Fantastic…thanks, that did it:)
