Flash Tutorial - Generating Random Numbers

Free Flash Tutorial

ActionScript 2 Code Submitted by Alexander Kuzmin

If you are using AS2 you may wish to use an array. This cuts down on the length of the code:

on (release) {
   //Sets the hellos.
   var myHellos:Array = new Array("Hello", "Salut", "Guten Tag", "Hola");

   // Sets the number of digits in the random sequence:
   var mySetting = 4;
   // Creates a random number:
      myNumber = random(mySetting);
   //Checks the repeat function
   while (myNumber == myTemp) {
      myNumber = random(mySetting)+1;
   }
   // Resets the variable to the new random number:
   myTemp = myNumber;

   //Takes the hello at that position in the array and uses it.
   myDisplay = myHellos[myNumber];
}
