im making a site that need to have random videos load on the front page.i have couple of swfs on the root, and i made a .swf named random that will load on the main page (uploaded in same folder with the swfs) and hopefully it will load one of the movies at a time. No luck so far.this is the code i use
stop();
var movieArray:Array = ['1', '2', '3'];
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
im playing with the load random movie (but loading a random xml file instead) based on the wonderful tutorial from front page and was wondering whether anyone can show me the work around/upgrade to AS2 for this bit of script since im publishing to Flash 8 /AS2 and it doesnt work:
I am now using the code for my background image which will rotate when you enter a new gallery.I can't get it to randomize.[code]I have tried adding: Math.floor(Math.random() * total); and it almost works. It seems everytime the last node is called it stops working (also at other random times, haven't found a pattern).
I have 5 external flash files that i am trying to load randomly in from a seperate flash files (main.swf is trying to randomly load: Flash1.swf, flash2.swf, flash3.swf, flash4.swf, flash 5.swf)
this is what i have so far:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("flash1.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
it works in loading just one flash movie but im looking to have to randomly load from the five .swf's
I have code that plays a random swf file from an array.
stop(); var movieArray:Array = ['home lotus','recall','doors']; var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var index:int = movieArray.length * Math.random();[code]....
essentially, I want to be able to load the movie with a button.

The client needs to be able to upload new videos to a folder, and the flash should load a video randomly. Is it possible to make the flash to read the folder and load a random video, without having to change the ActionScript? The number of videos on the folder may vary.
So I've spent an entire day trying to make my old AS2 file that loaded random swf's work with AS3 with no luck. Every time I think I've found the code to fix it, nothing works. The search here yields results for AS2, but not AS3. I'm ready to throw my laptop through the window at this point. I'm new to AS3, so bear in mind that I'm a newb. I need the ability to load random banner ads into a movie clip in my main flash swf.
I want to load a random swf from a group of 6. Basically from the intial page i want the user to press a button and this then displays one of the 6 swfs randomly.
I have saved my swf files as numbers 1-6.swf and saved them in a folder called movies. I need to firstly generate a random number between 1 and 6 and then load this corresponding swf file.
I'm trying to make an application in which every time you hover on an image (there is only one image on the stage) a new quote is loaded into a dynamic textfield from an xml file displayed over the image.I have so far managed to load a quote from the xml and it looks good, but I don't know how to randomize the quote, now it only loads the first quote every time I hover on the image.Do I need to rethink the whole code, or just add to it?Here's the code:
stop (); var XMLFILEURL:String = "news.xml"; var spacing:Number = 2;
I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
i am using a slideshow template that I purchased and I wanted to get the images to load randomly, I contacted the author but he wants me to pay him extra for this and I have no money left for this project.basically, I'm looking to add a line to this as2 file that would make the images load randomly without repeating and then start over when the cycle completes. I tried putting in an array but it caused all kinds of errors.
i have to create a flash banner that randomly loads text. This text can be in a .txt file. i read the tutorial for getting external data, but how does one change the text on refreshing the page?
I have succesfully gotten the "loading a random background" to work. But now I want to try a couple of other things with it.I would like to adjust the size and alpha, which it isn't happening. And I would also like to repeat the the image (which was generated randomly) 4 other times on the page.So far I have place the random image and mask within a movie, and then placed it on the main timeline.That works great, then I am sliding same image from behind the first image to create a total of 5 images on my documento get the other 4 images on the main document have repeated the movie that holds the random image code, but nothing is showing up in the other 4 instances
On my web site, i would like to load some external FLV files, so that they play as soon as the page loads. I would probably load them into a movie clip, or just directly into the site, either way i dont mind. The catch is, can they be randomly selected from a folder external to the site at the site's route?
I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction to be able to load in a random sound clip (from a set of 5 or more mp3s) when the user rolls over a button. I can't seem to find a way to do this.
I would like to know how to make more value than one .This script display one value from Quotes.txt ,is anyone know how make this to show three value from Quotes.txt
I found a thread from 2005 that had some pretty simple instructions for loading lines of text from an XML document into a dynamic text field. It seemed pretty simple, bur for some reason I was having a couple problems. Here's a link to the thread:
To save running around, here's the code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {
