An easy way is to if say you have 3 objects in a list given a weight
options[0].weight = 1;
options[1].weight = 3;
options[2].weight = 4;
instead of having it have three selections, you could add the weights
and make it have 8 to choose from that point to the option.
choice[0]=0;
choice[1]=1;
choice[2]=1;
choice[3]=1;
choice[4]=2;
choice[5]=2;
choice[6]=2;
choice[7]=2;

Hello list,
I have an XMLList that can vary in length. I pick a random node each
time using the simple method below:
<code>
var tRandom:int = int(Math.random()*tXMLSource.nodes.length() );
return tXMLSource.nodes[tRandom]
</code>
Now i would like to change it, so that I can specify a weight to each
node. This weight would have to determine the probability the nodes
get selected out when a random pick is being performed.
Does anybody know how to build such an algorithm?
Much appreciated,
Jiri
