Using ActionScript Conditional Statements

[vojakrajko121]

i em using as2.0 and when i input the Math.Floor just like you did i get some error:

')' or ',' expected

var headsortails = Math.floor(Math.random()* 2; this is what i wrote in the code, it is the exact the same code that in tutorial. i can only get it to work with 1.023234 decimals and i did use: if (headsortails < 1 ) bicus the decimals wouldnt work with == 0. can someone write the correct code that will work :

var headsortails = Math.floor(Math.random()* 2; for as2.0

thanks

@vojakrajko121 it appears that you are missing a closing parentheses. Try:

var headsortails = Math.floor(Math.random() *2);

Thanks, i couldnt tell if my variable was being set up correctly and that trace function really helped. Got my program working :D

Thumbs up dude.

Also, is there a way to make a button that, if the vaiable has enugh of a number, it take some away but if it doesnt, it wont take the number away?

[TheIdiotNation]

This (I dont think) has anything to do wit the video but... Is there a way to make a number go up in seconds without going frame-by-fram? EX: 1...2...3...4...5... But in seconds?

[ghudner]

TheIdiotNation, to get something to count in seconds, you will have to get a variable to go up by 1 every frame, and then get flash to check if it is over the framerate. and example is if i was making a counter i would use:

onEnterFrame = function(){

counter += 1;

if(counter > "framerate"){ counter = 0;

And then whatever code you want here, any other questions about Flash would be better answered on forums,

hope that helped.

You can also set an interval like this:

setInterval(1000, nextSecond);

function nextSecond() { counter += 1;

}

Getting the clip to stop at it's last frame is as easy as placing a frame script on the frame with the stop(); script in place. That will stop the playback head in the clip and refocus on the main timeline.

thanls a lot :)

does this mean the movieclip dont care for the main timeline's script while it is playing?

[asmiron]

nevermind the answer to my question is no it doesnt care for it hehe :P

[asmiron]

thanks!! i didnt know about the "double equal thing" :)

a bit off topic but do you know if theres a way to play a sound that isnt necessarily in the same frame as the button(all that without changing frame at all) ??

[robgraham]

Absolutely. A sound resource can be played at anytime by calling it from the library. It takes a bit of preplanning to make sure that the sound is included as part of the data load whent he SWF file starts running. It also takes a bit of code to call the sound at the time its needed.

Maybe a good topic for a future video...

[asmiron]

i got it working yesterday with attachSound it took me 5 hours to figure out lol :) .....now im wasting my time on trying to do the same thing but with an instanced videoclip :/ i think i got it working once but i need my clip to stop at its last frame and dont know how :(
