ActionScript 1/2 :: Produce Random Of Images In A Flash Movie?
Nov 14, 2010
I have used a code to produce random of images in a flash movie:
var ldr:Loader=new Loader();addChild(ldr);ldr.load(new URLRequest("ima00" + (Math.ceil(Math.random()*5)) + ".jpg"));
With that code, besides the random of images each time you acess the website (that is ok!), it keep changing the images while you still with the swf open. We would like to change it, making it to load a different image each time we get in the web site, but making the images to keep still, not changing while the film is open.
I followed this tutorial: [URL]but I work in CS4. I followed the tutorial to the letter, but apperantly there is something wrong... All I see when I test the movie is this:
to the first frame of the movie which contains an empty mc "imagenes_mc" which should load a diferent JPEG each time someone gets into the website.
Thing is: ON my published swf nothing happens with that code and on the output windown i get "1120: Acess of undefined property mages_mc" and also "1180: Call to a possible undefined method random"

I tried to change the publish settings back and forth, but using Flashplayer 8,9 or 10 and actionscript 2.0 or 3.0 doesn't make any difference.
how to make a random image viewer in flash from scratch as in click a button then it will take you to a picture then click it again and it will take you to a different oneso the images dont come up twice, or does anyone know any tutorials with the same sorta thing
I am trying to implement a random slideshow type thing which would be fine if all of the images were in the one folder, but i want to randomly display them from multiple folders... if I define each path as a variable, is that the easiest way?
ActionScript Code: var pathaURL:String = "folder1/slideshow/"; var pathbURL:String = "folder2/slideshow/"; var pathcURL:String = "folder3/slideshow/";
and then somehow implement the randomness with the image variable...?
I'd like the tutorial on randomly loading images to go one step further...Anyone know how to have the images load randomly and have a button that ALSO draws from the images randomly...?
This is my first post as i m just beginner in Flash JavaScript. I want to prepare a FLash Movie in which all the images r dynamic and the images should change after a time say every 30 secs the image changes.
I'm looking to display three images, chosen at random on load, throughout the duration of a banner ad.Basically, these images are health tips displayed on post it's - as it plays, the post-it's fly off, revealing the next tip.I also need ensure that the images don't repeat I 'm mostly a timeline guy, but I've been learning AS and have no problem getting one image to display randomly - however the three separate ones with no repeat is throwing me off. My thoughts are to are to either
a) Put all the images on separate frame within 3 MC's, and somehow display a random frame within that clip on load, ensuring no repeat or
b) Load the images into 3 separate MC's through and XML doc, and pick one at random.
The images only appear one at a time - so I think each MC would only contain one of the 3 random images selected.So is it possible to load a random image into a MC,and then duplicate that MC without a chance of the image repeating?
Several months ago I created numerous flash files that use a wingdings checkmark. Recently I had to update these files, and now every single one of them displays as the Arial equivalent (umlauted u). It shows as the umlaut in FLA and in SWF. Selecting the unlauted u, looking at properties confirms the font is set to wingdings. Copying a wingdings checkmark out of another app and pasting into Flash, it immediately overwrites to the umlaut. In fact, changing it to any font just makes it a slightly different umlaut.
The easy question is, "What changed between when it worked, and when it doesn't?" and the answer is I'm not sure. It's the same Flash installation, same machine, same OS, etc. I've tested this with co-workers. Those who open the exact same file on XP machines see the checkmark. Those who open the exact same file on other Vista machines see the umlaut. I have an XP machine to my left, and a Vista machine to my right, and I'm seeing both a checkmark and an umlaut off the same FLA.
Heres a direct link to the swf. (Flash Player 9 Req) [URL] Note that it loads random images to the right.
Now, when I embed this same swf into the actual site: [URL]
I don't understand
I've taken out the new javascript embed code, just to make sure that wasn't messing things around, but to no avail.

If I hard code the php file with the values listed above, everything works perfectly. But I'm using a php script that checks the directory for images, then provides that output.
how to produce a flash menu similar to those on 2advanced.net and url....? Is each option (and it's submenu) a separate movie clip or is there some complicated actionscript involved? I am a fairly new flash user.
I'm a designer working in tandem with a PHP programmer on a project where we will display a random image via flash from a selection of images stored on a database. Accompanying this image is a tagline and a path for a button and these variables are sent via a php script. The actionscript then picks up these vars via loadVars and displays them on screen - well, almost.
The tagline is displaying in the dynamic text box with no problems, but I'm struggling with how to display the image in the empty MC I've created (called 'pic') and also to attach the path to the button I've created (called 'projectURL_btn'). I'm fairly sure it's something fairly simple but I just can't crack it.
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:
way to randomly load a flash movie into a specific place of the same dimensions.
I am creating a page where I have a spot for a flash movie, and I would like to randomly load 4-5 different animations into that space that would change randomly by refreshing the page.
im developing a match game for our website..i want to have about 6 external swfs for the cards that will be flipped over, and one main movie shell with 12 target clips that the 6 external files will load into. (each card needs to appear twice in the movie so that people can flip them over and match them)what would be the best way to randomly load in the cards into each of the 12 positions and make sure that each card gets loaded twice and no more.
I have 5 boxes on the stage as movie clips, each one with the same animation waiting to be targeted. What I need is a random script that will make them play in "random" order. This should occur after a few seconds of inactivity where they each play, but once there's mouse movement, whichever ones did animate should "reset" or play back to their original positions, (assuming there's more boxes and there's movement before all of them play). I have some code in there for arrays and some random script that isn't working right now. I just need the random setup, really. I may be able to figure out the time delay, (maybe), and then be able to tweak the rest of it for how I need. Right now, I've just simplified everything in a 5 box example hoping someone might be able to work with what I have.
making a simple animation with about 10 "coins" on screen. I have a movie clip that animates another movie clip flipping over. I want to pull a random movie clip from the library into the nested clip so that on each "flip" a random coin face comes up.I've put all the clip names into an array (coin1,coin2,coin3,etc.)I think it would be described as _root.coin_container.coin_animation.random_coin_hereThere will be 10 coin_container's on the main stage, with coin_animation nested inside. At the beginning of the animation a random movie clip from the array should be called into coin_animation, then coin_animation will run through a few frames, repeat, call another random movie clip and repeat.
Is there an easier way to display random images, for example I want it to display an image or two and then three or four second�s later change to another. I have over 100 images to display and don�t really want create each frame and place a new image on every 5 or so frame. There must be somewhere out there some action script that can do this, c
I do have a problem to make jpeg images random in a swf movie.I have found a tutorial which explains people to apple a single lineofcode:imagenes_mc.loadMovie("ima00" + (1+random(5)) + ".jpg");to the first frame of the movie which contains an empty mc "imagenes_mc" which should load a diferent JPEG each time someone gets into the website.Thing is: ON my published swf nothing happens with that code and on the output windown i get "1120: Acess of undefined property mages_mc" and also "1180: Call to a possible undefined method random"
I have a button and onMouseOut I need my flash to load for example4 images horizontally, one after another with a sort of a fade in effect (or let's say a simple 10-frame animation that I desire), BUTwithout repeating the images. Images go through a .xml file (max 50 images)
As part of my brief, I have to create a small flash movie that will load a random quote (which is actually a jpeg image), fade it in to view, display it for a length of time (probably only 3-5 seconds), fade it out and then load another random quote. Is this possible to do, purely using actionscript? I can randomly load an image - I used the "Random Background Image" tutorial on this site - but getting the fading/pausing/fading then moving to another quote has got me stumped.
The images are imported into their own swf file that is loaded into a placeholder movie on the html page. I tried adding in a for loop to the individual swf and the placeholder movie, to loop through alpha property of the image (just to fade up for the moment, till I get it working) - but this didn't work at all. I could use tweens for the fading, but this could end up a mess and more work than it needs to be as there could be quite a lot of quotes added over time.
*Can two CS4's produce different published .swf from the same fileset?I have a flash suite written by a young man in China.When I test the .swf file in the suite it works fine.However I need to make some minor redesigns so I need to change the .fla file - but before I do I found that when I publish a new .swf from the .fla file (with all the necessary action scripts/xml etc in the right place) it doesn't produce the same outcome. Instead the navigation (next page, items per page etc) is missing.
When he does the same thing (I trust his integrity) he gets the new .swf with the navigation in tact.You can see the two outcomes at the web address below (mock data).There are no code changes, no library changes that I can find.So I thought maybe there is something about different settings or 'environments' that can affect the outcome?
[code]There are no errors produced when this runs and a .air file is produced but when the .air file is double clicked I get the error message:"The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
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 been looking at tutorials online and I havent found exactly what I need.I have a folder of jpegs that I need to fade in and out at random. One movie clip, not triggered by anything, just fadeing in and out different jpegs from an external folder
I have a set of images on the screen that is 5 x 5 rectangles. My objective is to constantly have images fade in on top of the existing images in one of these random positions. I have 200 images/movieclips that these will be pulled from.
I figured the best way to do this would be to have 25 pre-placed instances on the screen and have the script choose one randomly and then load a random movieclip into it.
The problem that I am having is that after it draws the first box it is not persistent, it disappears just before the next one appears. I want them to stay forever or least until that particular image is completely covered up.
