I currently have an image sliced up into rectangles and then placed over another image so that I can reveal the image in the back(figure1). I currently have the shapes animating in from left to right and top to bottom(figure2). I want the images to animate in a random way(figure3). Originally I created a position array that I shuffled the values of which created the effect that I want but that obviously also shuffled the image slices. So now I am creating an index array and shuffling the values. I want to swap the sliced images indexes with the new values in the shuffled index array. Splice is not giving the desired effect.
for(i=0;i<100;i++){
var _s = new createjs.Sprite(this._ss);
_s.gotoAndStop(i);
this._container.addChild(_s);
if((i % 10)===0){
_ypos += 21;
_xpos = 34;
};
_s.x = _xpos;
_s.y = _ypos;
_xpos += 34;
this._indexArray.push(i);
this._shapeArr.push(_s);
}
this.shuffleArray(this._indexArray);
for(j=0;j<100;j++){
this._shapeArr[j]//CHANGE INDEX HERE
}
For anyone else that is trying to do something similar here is the revised code in the second for loop. I found this link which helped me to resolve the issue so check the link out and if you find it helpful then give the guy a +1
Move an array element from one array position to another
for(j=0;j<100;j++){
//CHANGED CHILD INDEX HERE
this._shapeArr.splice(this._indexArray[j],0,this._shapeArr.splice(j,1)[0]);
}
