as 2 to as3

[hugom66738326]

Hy,

I'm having an issu for a line, i need to convert it to as3 but idk how to do that 😕

there is the line to convert :

if (MovieClip(root).flagSound)

{

    this.random_RO.gotoAndStop(random(this.random_RO._totalframes - 1) + 2);

}

And it says :

"Call to a method that does not seem set, random ."

Because random() in AS3 is Math.random().

Actually it's Math.random() in AS2 too. random() has been deprecated since at least 2005.

but can you convert it pls ? It's not working for me 😕

try changing the line to...

random_RO.gotoAndStop(int(Math.random(random_RO._totalframes - 1)) + 2);

Thanks for the reply but now it's saying :

Incorrect number of arguments. Maximum expected : 0 .

This stuff is all very well documented on the internet. ECMAScript Math.random() doesn't take any arguments, it just returns a float between 0 and 1. So you'd do this:

this.random_RO.gotoAndStop(Math.random() * (this.random_RO.totalFrames - 1) + 2);

Note that _totalframes was wrong too. In AS3 it's totalFrames.
