A bitter Actionscript - [Help]

[tongxn]

I have a "program" here that automatically generate 3 numbers between -100 to 100 (%) so that it's completely random. But I have no idea how to make the Random action start dealing with Variables. Any ideas for it? A simple code would help.

Regards,
And hope you had a Merry Christmas

P.S. I keep getting into trouble...

I need more information on what your trying to do.

I dont know what you are trying to do but I hope this helps:

function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.random()*(max-min)+min;
return randomNum;
}

no1 = randRange(100, 100);

no2 = randRange(100, 100);

no3 = randRange(100, 100);

just a randomical number chooser.

I am not asking to much am I?

I have a "program" here that automatically generate 3 numbers between -100 to 100 (%)

So do you have a program that does this or are you looking for help building a program that does this? If you want to build this, then Chaos_Blader's post should help.

Otherwise

just a randomical number chooser.

I am not asking to much am I?

code:

---

myNum = Math.random();

---

will give you a random number.

[wombatLove]

myNum = Math.random();

will give you a random number between 0 and 1... you need to multiply it by a scale

myNum = Math.random() * 100;

will give you a number between 0 and 100;

[tongxn]

and what is to it a number between -100 and 100?

[Shotsy247]

Between -100 and 100????

See Chaos_Blader's post. You already have the answer!

Except add a negative sign in front of the first 100.

If you want to make a random number between -100 and 100 maybe you can fix it with this

myNum1 = Math.random() * 100;
myNum2 = Math.random() * 100;
myNum = myNum1-myNum2;

Then you will get a a number between -100 and 100
But the chance that then number is -100, 0 or 100 is very small. (But possible)

I hope this helped you a little bit.

var myNum = random() * 200 - 100;

Will get you a number between -100 and 100, but Chaos_Blader had it right, execpt the examples he forgot to put a minus sign in the no1, no2, and no3 examples.

function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
  var randomNum:Number = Math.random()*(max-min)+min;
  return randomNum;
}

no1 = randRange(-100, 100);
no2 = randRange(-100, 100);
no3 = randRange(-100, 100);
