I've just followed the Kirupa random loading background tutorial and I am getting a syntax error in the actionscript. I want the random loading swf's to load on top of the background, so I made the top layer the "location" movie clip with the actions to randomly load movie. The exact syntax error message I'm getting is as follows...Scene=Scene 1, Layer=location, Frame=1: Line 2: The JavaScript
View 4 RepliesI have adapted the kirupa xml slideshow tutorial.However I would like to create a up and down buttons that jog the thumbnails + or - 3 thumb images either way.Is this a case of creating an on (release) action that tells the slider to advance a specified distance??[code]

View 3 RepliesI 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

View 3 RepliesIn the bottom layer of my main movie, Id like to put a random background image which loads on entering the frame and stretches to full screen. I would like to use a preloader for the image so Im trying to load a swf using this which I found here:

Code:
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*5);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :

but I could not get it to stretch full screen. How do I get the externally loaded swf to stretch full screen and be able to resize via a listener from within my main movie?
I have a movieclip with a grid of 9 squares (3x3) what i would like to do is have each square move either on the x or y axis into a position of another square (like one of those puzzles where you move the tiles around to form a picture...) a random square in a random direction at random intervals.I have tried editing the random movement tutorial on Kirupa, but i cannot get the effect i need.url...
View 2 RepliesA background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
bg music[code].....
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
I have followed Kirupa's XML Image Gallery tutorial. Before you ask, I have double checked my code. When I hit command+enter (mac) to preview it, everything works just fine. XML loads the correct images. My problem is when I publish it and upload it via FTP to my web server, ONLY the first image displays. When I click the next button, the first image fades out, but then it fades back in. The captions and image numbers change (like they're supposed to), but the image does not.
It remains on the first image. I know that it is able to access the XML because it loads the first image specified in the XML. That image was never imported into the Flash document. I have double checked my paths, too. All of the paths are correct. Also, I'm sure that it's not accessing a local file, because for each path, I specify the full URL, such as "[URL]", rather than just "/images/image.jpg". What do I need to do to fix this? You can see what I'm talking about by going to [URL] and clicking on "photo+art".

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).

What I want is something kind of like this:However, I don't want it to respond to the mouse at all. I just want random sized circles, on different layers, and different alpha values, floating around on their own.I could do in the timeline, with symbols and motion paths, but it wouldn't really be random at all. I thought it would be better in ActionScript.Can anyone point me in the right direction here? If I could even find a tutorial or example of creating basic random movement that would be great. I did find this:...but this isn't what I want either. I don't want 'jerky' movement. I just want them to float in random directions. That code also doesn't seem to be very flexible

I have a movie clip placed on the first frame within the main timeline.
- The movie clip contains 4 frames, each frame has a different image.
- I want to display one of these frames at random every time the game loads.

- Would this script be placed on the main timeline?

I have flash site and client wants random fullscreen background image to load on refresh. sounds easy right ?. but i've tried a lot of components and code snippets but it's causing headaches as nothing seems to work. i have a client squirming because it isn't done.
I did purchase a component from flashden (randombgholder) which does exactly what i want, but it seems to clash with the flashloaded fCMS system i have working in place, and somehow knocks it out, but that could be my bad amateur flash coding causing it. And when i go to center the swf over the background using his code he provided it goes haywire. perhaps i could do a random fullscreen background image on page refresh in html?? i tried some css ones, but nothing works probably because i'm very new to flash and the likes.
im not exactly sure where to start right now im using a script for dhtml to rotate imaged randomly what i hope to accomplish is background , that will have some type of transition effect and randomly show my images
i have 32 images atm i would like to rotate through i found this and have tried to use it , but not exactly what i want , i need a transitional effect of somekind, and want it to rotate at a given amount of time , say maybe 12seconds[URL]...

For a fullscreen AIR app, I want to have a tiling image (JPEG, PNG or whatever) in the background. The app is displayed on large screens in a public building, and to achieve a cool effect I want the background image to "scroll" infinitely, with the direction of scrolling changing with an interval in time. The background must be tiling and always filling the screen. Performance is of importance.What would be the best approach for this? I am thinking toward pixel-level bitmap manipulation. I have no experience in this field and I can't find any good examples/tutorials online.
