ActionScript Code Wanted for Random "Flash Cards" 2

[bsquared18]

Let's say on one layer I have four frames, each containing different content. On another layer, I have a button. Each time the user presses the button, I want them to be taken randomly to one of the four frames. The next button push, they are randomly taken to another frame, without repeating a frame already seen.

This goes on until all four frames have been seen. On the fifth button push, the user is sent to a fifth frame that has the message "Finished."

Could someone tell me the button.onRelease ActionScript code to accomplish this? Either AS 1 or AS 2, but please tell me which is being used.

Thanks!
Bill B.

as1

something like

frames =[1,2,3,4];
myButton.onRelease = function(){
myRandom = random(frames.length);
gotoAndStop(myrandom);
frames.splice(myrandom,1);
if(frames.length==0)
gotoAndStop("finished");
}

ought to do the job


code untested....just off the top of my head

Well, this is basically the same as Bill's but in AS2.

You need 6 frames - the 1st frame is "Start" and the 6th frame is "Finished". Frame 2, 3, 4, 5 are your 4 frames where you have 4 different contents.

Place a button in a layer across frame 1 to 5, and name it "buttonX" for now.

Create a layer for the script and place the following script in the frame 1:

[tt]// ActionScript 2
var frames:Array = [2, 3, 4, 5];
stop();
//
this.buttonX.onPress = function() {
var frameNumber:Number;
var n:Number = this._parent.frames.length;
if {
var randomIndex:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*n);
frameNumber = this._parent.frames.splice(randomIndex, 1);
} else {
frameNumber = 6;
}
this._parent.gotoAndStop(frameNumber);
};
//[/tt]

Thanks, Bill and Kenneth!

Bill, I couldn't get yours to work, probably because of my lack of ActionScript knowledge. Kenneth, yours fit the bill perfectly.
