How to work with function duniform or another to generate random numbers

Hi there,

I'm with a issue where i'm using the function duniform to produce different color boxes (blue, yellow, red and green). In our project we have 4 different sources, we know that the function is duniform (1,4), but in this case we want to remove a color in each source, namely source 1 remove color nr1, in source 2 color nr2, in source 3, color nr3 and at source 4 color nr4.

Any advice ?

Then you have in each source 3 different attribute values and not 4. But you assign for each attribute value a different set of color, then you can set the color by case. It is a picklist property under visual. This approach is only valid, if there isn’t a direct link between color and attribute value.

If you need always a direct link between color and the attribute value ie Type, then you still have to choose three random values over an array of three changing values. Here is an example for source 2 in FlexScript.

Array TypeRange = [1,3,4];
item.label.assert(“Type”, TypeRange[duniform(1,3,getstream(current)]);
item.color = Color.byNumber(item.Type);
