Last active December 12, 2015 05:28

Returns a 4 elements vector containing four different integers ranging from 1 to max, in random order.

	package utils
	{
	/** Returns a 4 elements vector containing four different integers ranging from 1 to max, in random order. */
	public function pick4RandomNumbers(max:uint):Vector.<uint>
	{
	// Create and populate a Vector to get 'max' different numbers from
	var numberContainer:Vector.<uint> = new Vector.<uint>();
	for (var i:uint = 1; i <= max; i++)
	{
	numberContainer.push(i);

Returns a random integer ranging from 1 to max, excluding numberToAvoid.

	package utils
	{
	/** Returns a random integer ranging from 1 to max, excluding numberToAvoid. */
	public function pickRandomNumberExcept(numberToAvoid:uint, max:uint):uint
	{
	// Create and populate a Vector to pick the numbers from, excluding numberToAvoid.
	var numberContainer:Vector.<uint> = new Vector.<uint>();
	for (var i:uint = 1; i <= max; i++)

FrancescoMaisto / getRandomNumber.as

Created February 6, 2013 10:06

Returns a random integer within the specified range (included)

	package utils
	{
	/** Returns a random integer within the specified range (included) */
	public function getRandomNumber(min:Number, max:Number):int
	{

FrancescoMaisto / IdButton.as

Last active December 12, 2015 05:29

Extends the standard Starling Button by adding an id parameter. The id parameter can then be retrieved from the event dispatched to the 'onButtonTriggered' listener. (see usage example in the first comment)

	package ui
	{
	import starling.display.Button;
	import starling.textures.Texture;

FrancescoMaisto / SoundManager.as

Last active November 9, 2019 20:22

This ActionScript class makes dealing with sounds in Starling very easy and intuitive: once you add a sound to the SoundManager you can easily play it, stop it, change its volume, fade it in, fade it out or cross-fade it with another sound.See more details and usage examples below, in the first comment.

	package starling.extensions {

	import flash.events.Event;
	import flash.media.Sound;
	import flash.media.SoundChannel;
	import flash.media.SoundTransform;
	import flash.utils.Dictionary;
	import starling.core.Starling;

	public class SoundManager {
