Question
Setting up a "random" scenario, but with exceptions...?
I've got a Flash file that, when I press a button, sets a
movie clip to jump to a particular random frame using the following
code:
gotoAndStop(random(52));
which all works fine. Every time I press the button I get taken to a random frame, as expected.
But what I want to do is for every time one of these random frames is landed on, I want that frame to be "ticked off" so that the NEXT random frame it lands on will NOT be that one. I want this to happen with EVERY press of the button, so that no frame can be landed on twice at any point.
Then when I have eventually pressed the button 52 times, and therefore landed on ALL the frames, I want the whole thing to be re-set. I can do this second part by setting up a counter, and incrementing it each time the button is pressed, and then re-setting it when "presses == 52" etc.
It's the first part I'm having trouble with -- how do I set up my file so that each frame that gets landed on gets "ticked off" so it is now excluded from the randomness of it all?
Any help anyone...?
Thanks!
