randomization

[Jkhalbe]

i need to know how make a line of an adjustable length(something that i can set manually) and how to make it randomly appear and disappear on differnt y coordinates.

can anyone help. thanx,

jeff

A line is defined by it's starting coordinates and ending coordinates.

x1,y1 ---> x2,y2

It is unclear from your question which of these coordinates you want fixed, and which you want randomized.

Let's say you want a horizontal line that begins at x1=10, and has a manually specified length, and a random y position. Then you would do this:

code:

---

x1 = 10;

x2 = x1 + desiredLength;



y1 = random(Stage.height);

y2 = y1; // since y2 == y1, the line is flat



_root.lineStyle(2,0,100);

_root.moveTo(x1,y1);

_root.lineTo(x2,y2);
