help in array

Hi,, I want to work check before displaying any information on what it is to not repeated with supply

By looping..

My code:

txt_1.text = myArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myArray.length)];
txt_2.text = myArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myArray.length)];

I don't want to be in the field for similar txt1 with txt2 and txt3 for example..

Hello there, I do not know if i understood well your question, but this is what I understood: You want to input a random value from the myArray array into these textfields, but without repeating the same indexes, so each field can have a random data from the array but without repeating the same data between fields? If so, try this:

First add this function to randomize things

PHP Code:

---

var randomNumbers:Array = [];

function getRandomNumbers():Array
{
    var list:Array = [];
    var randomList:Array = [];
    for(var i:int = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
    {
        list.push(i);
    }
    
    while(list.length > 0)
    {
        randomList.push(list.splice(Math.round(Math.random() * list.length - 1 + 0), 1)[0]);
    }
    return randomList;
};

Then, whenever you want to generate non-repeating random numbers, call that function, it will return an array with the random numbers, so we add the results of running that function into another array (randomNumbers) and after that, we can simply use the indexes of that new array to fill the textfields:

PHP Code:

---

randomNumbers = getRandomNumbers();

txt_1.text = myArray[randomNumbers[0]];
txt_2.text = myArray[randomNumbers[1]];
txt_3.text = myArray[randomNumbers[2]];
//and so on

You need to know that in life there are many ways of achieving things, so maybe my approach is not the best, but is the most appropiate for your sittuation, and I am not here to compete about which is the best way of coding hehe.

If you need more explanation about the script, let me know.

Be well

Hi,

I must have not seen this post before today.

Seeing as there are numerous possibilities, you could also try something like this

PHP Code:

---

var minimumNumber:Number = 1;
var maximumNumber:Number = 300;

var textFieldAmount:Number = 16;
var textField:TextField;

var numberArray:Array = new Array();
var randomArray:Array = new Array();

var pickedNumber:Number;
var randomSelect:Number;

var i:Number;

makeNumbers();

function makeNumbers():void
{
    for (i = minimumNumber; i <= maximumNumber; i++)
    {
        numberArray.push(i);
    }
    generateNumbers();
    //trace(numberArray);
}

function generateNumbers():void
{
    for (i = 0; i < textFieldAmount; i++)
    {
        randomSelect = Math.floor(Math.random() * (numberArray.length - 1));
        pickedNumber = numberArray[randomSelect];

        randomArray.push(pickedNumber);
        numberArray.splice(randomSelect,1);
    }
    // *** Traces;
    trace("Selected Random Numbers: " + randomArray);
    trace("Sorted Random Numbers: " + randomArray.sort(Array.NUMERIC));
}

var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("verdana",12);

for (i = 0; i < textFieldAmount; i++)
{
    textField = new TextField();
    textField.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
    textField.text = randomArray[i];
    textField.width = 100;
    textField.border = true;
    textField.height = 20;
    textField.y = 22 * i;
    addChild(textField);
}

just paste into a new as3 document and test

Hi,

I see you posted over at as.org today, I still don't know what you want either really.

Hi,, I want to work check before displaying any information on what it is to not repeated with supply

My code:
var sp:Array = new Array( 'Ball' , 'Seq' , 'Circle' , 'Rec');
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Press);
function Press (event:MouseEvent):void
{
txt_1.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
txt_2.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
txt_3.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
txt_4.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
txt_5.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
txt_6.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
}

I don't want to be in the field for similar txt1 with txt2 and txt3 for example..

going by that question perhaps

PHP Code:

---

var sp:Array = new Array('Ball','Seq','Circle','Rec');
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Press);
function Press(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    txt_1.text = sp[0];
    txt_2.text = sp[1];
    txt_3.text = sp[2];
    txt_4.text = sp[3];
    txt_5.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
    txt_6.text = sp[Math.floor(Math.random() * sp.length)];
}

??? your array is shorter than the textfields amount so you will have a repeat somewhere
