How get random letter with Flash mx? I want create movie symbol with this letter.

[Ben]

Well, you could make a blank dynamic textbox, and call it's instance "randTxt". Then, in the first frame:

function randomise() {
		var charStr:String = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
		randTxt.text = charStr.charAt(random(charAt.length-1)+1);
}

Then execute the function whenever...

randomise();

Idea is ok, but will not work in MX, since this is as2 code.

need static not dynamic text beacause want in motion tween change alpha color.

AS1 code:

function randomise() {
		var charStr = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
	   trace(charStr.charAt((Math.random()*charStr.length-1)+1));
}
randomise();

Flash MX (or Flash 6) was the first version of Flash to have Actionscript 2. You cannot modify the text in static text during runtime. If you want to animate your dynamic text, put it inside a movieclip and animate that movieclip.

i'm try but not wirking with change alfa, just movie from A to B bu not blur

[Pax]

Blur is a flash 8 thing. If youre using MX it wont work. Without seeing the .fla, it will be difficult to really see what you need.

if text is static i'm change alfa color ant text disapear.

[Pax]

Put the dynamic text inside a movie clip and embed the font. Then your animations will work with dynamic text.

I'm found another way:

onClipEvent (load) {
shuffle = chr(random(26)+65);
}

and embend
