random button placement

[jamesloacher]

I have an array of buttons,that I shuffle I am then trying to place them in my button grid randomly.I tried using a for loop but just can't get it right.


button1 button2 button3 button4
button5 button6 button7 button8
button9 button10 button11 button12
button13 button14 button 15

I have attached a .fla in flash 8 to help visualize this problem.

Thanks

Hello there,

I have worked in your FLa and made the buttons to randomize their positions! I have attached the Fla here (Flash 8 format).

You may check the code and if you are not able to understand it then you may put some traces and try to understand it....I have added my comments on the code:

Logic I used:
1. Record _x and _y positions of all the buttons in array
2. Create a temproray array which will hold numbers from 1 to 15
3. Randomize this array
4. As per the randomized array replace all the buttons with the co-ordinates recorded earlier

Once you see the code and read above description you will understand teh thing!

Hope this helps!
