I was still using it a in Flash 6 and higher, but now I have to change that habit.<\/p>\n
And now we come to an annoying point: if you go to the as3 help documentation you only get an explanation but not a nice piece of example code. I don’t know why they changed that, but I don’t like it.<\/p>\n
Returns a pseudo-random number n, where 0 <= n < 1. The number returned is calculated in an undisclosed manner, and pseudo-random because the calculation inevitably contains some element of non-randomness. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
with some example code from as2 (functionality isn’t changed)<\/p>\n
[as]
\n\/\/ The following example outputs 100 random integers between 4 and 11 (inclusively):
\nfunction randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
\n var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max – min + 1)) + min;
\n return randomNum;
\n}
\nfor (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {\n var n:Number = randRange(4, 11)\n trace(n);\n}\n[\/as]\n\nthe way I using it was somewhat simpler then the example\n\n\n
AS 2<\/h3>\n
There are a couple of ways to do that in ActionScript 2:<\/p>\n
Example #1<\/strong>
\n[as]random(10)+1; \/\/ to get a number between 1 and 10 (1 and 10 included)[\/as]<\/p>\nAS 3<\/h3>\n
Lets try this in ActionScript 3:<\/p>\n
Example #1<\/strong>
\n[as]Math.floor(Math.random()*10)+1; \/\/ to get a number between 1 and 10 (1 and 10 included)[\/as]<\/p>\nJust make a snippet out of it, and you have never to search for this answer…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This is one that I figured out pretty quick. What has the ActionScript 2.0 Migration to say about this subject: ActionScript 2.0 ActionScript 3.0 Comments random() Math.random() Removed. Use Math.random() instead. I could have seen that coming: Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This function was deprecated in favor of Math.random(). Returns a random integer between 0 and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,172,3],"tags":[68,39,97,229,398,114,168,242],"class_list":["post-720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-as3","category-as3-migration","category-flash","tag-actionscript","tag-as2","tag-as2-to-as3","tag-documentation","tag-flash","tag-from-as2-to-as3","tag-migration","tag-pseudo-random-number"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":791,"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720\/revisions\/791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
