RE: [Flashcoders] Random between, with sticklers

2006-12-05 Thread Danny Kodicek 
  I thought of something.
 
 function randomRange( min, max, currNum):Number {
if(Math.random()0.5){
 max=currNum;
}else{
 min=currNum;
}
return Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min))+min;
 };
 

That's going to skew your function something chronic. No, what you need is
this:

function randomRange(min, max, curr) {
var nNum = Math.round(Math.random() * (max-min-2) ) + min
if (nNum=curr) {nNum+=2}
return nNum
}

Thats actually pretty good. Thanks for that :) I've added some additional
logic to it, so I also don't get back a previously produced result too.

Thanks :)

yup, you are correct. No point of setting two ranges, plus 1 or minus
1 is good enough. Thanks.

[Flashcoders] Random between, with sticklers

2006-12-04 Thread eric dolecki 

I'd like to get a random number between 2 values, with a stickler that it
can't be a current value, and it can't be the current value +1

var nCurrentValue:Number = 1;

function randomRange( min, max):Number
{
   var nNum =  Math.round(Math.random() * max) + min;
   return nNum;

   // Would like to add conditional: if nNum == nCurrentValue || nNum ==
nCurrentValue+1, get another random number until we get one thats okay...
};

What is the best way of handling that? Using a while statement or something?
I could use an interval, but that seems messy to me.
