Playing random sounds in a frame

I'm trying to get 1 random sound in a set of 3 sounds to play in this one frame. (Like it will choose randomly to play one out of the 3 sounds).

I have right-clicked my selected frame I have used this code in actions:

__________________________________________

var soundsA:Array=['sound1','sound2','sound3'];

var S=Class(getDefinitionByName(soundsA[Math.floor(3*Math.random())]));

var s=new S();

s.play();

__________________________________________

But I get these errors:

Symbol 'sprite1', Layer 'actions' Frame 6, Line 4 | 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getDefinitionByName.

C:\Users\Daniel\Desktop\New folder (2)\gametest.as | 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.

Symbol 'sprite2', Layer 'Layer 7', Frame 3, Line 1 | 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay.

try this code:

var C:Class=Class(getDefinitionByName("music_"+(1+Math.floor(4*Math.random()))));

var mySound=new C();

mySound.play()

Hi.

I tried your code and it works. Maybe you have for some reason to import the getDefinitionByName class as suggested by kglad.

Also, I think it's a better idea to follow Klaus approach.

Just change line 7 of Klaus code from

var oundNow: Sound;

to

var soundNow: Sound;

Regards,

JC

Hi.

Are you placing your code inside of a symbol instance, right?

Is your symbol a Sprite or a MovieClip?

Because Sprites don't have a timeline and you can't add frame scripts to them.

Hi Funky Dragon

I would use something like this:

import flash.media.Sound;
var soundsArr: Array = [sound1, sound2, sound3];
function selectAndPlaySound():void {
    var randNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3);
    var oundNow: Sound;
    soundNow = new soundsArr[randNum];
    soundNow.play();
}

whereby I import the sound files in question into the Library and supply them with Linkage names: sound1, sound2, sound3 .

Now you can trigger selectAndPlaySound() from (almost) anywhere.

Hi kdmemory. I have putted the code, and putted the linkage for my sounds.

The 3 errors earlier went away.

However I'm getting 2 errors:

what do you mean by '...right-clicked my selected frame'?

that would trigger a context menu. just click a keyframe and add your code to the actions panel. (and you need to import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName)

oh, my mistake, I meant to say 'I right-clicked my selected frame and clicked actions'

I'm not sure what you meant by 'import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName'.

you’re using actionscript. there’s no frame 0.
