View 1 RepliesI'm still very much a newbie when it comes to AS3. I need to create an external image scroller. That's simple enough, but these images are of people of different ethnics groups, roughly divided into four categories. So, the pictures need to be randomized two-dimensionally. The first random factor is which of the four groups to choose from. The second random factor is which image in that group to display. That way, no ethnic group is favored over another.
I've gotten fairly far...when I test my Flash file and click the Start button, you'll see the first random image. Wait a few seconds, and the second will appear. All well and good...but the logic for how to randomize and automatically display all 15 images eludes me, despite days of research.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I tried to upload the test files but they're too big, so the code is below.

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.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a basic flash gallery, when the user clicks a thumbnail, the large image above it will load (using loadMovie ("whatever.jpg")...that's all working fine, but I want to have the image center on a frame once it's fully loaded since I have some portrait and some landscape images. What I'm wondering is, is there a simple way to check if a jpg has been completely loaded, similar to an xml.onLoad = function()? I've tried the getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal thing as well as an onEnterFrame that checks the width but these have both had issues, maybe there's just some really simple way to check?

View 1 RepliesI've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded

View 2 RepliesI am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.

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?
I want to get a value between 1 and 50 placing a value of 100 which will be the variable computerTotal:
Code:
computerPlay = Math.ceil(Math.random()*computerTotal);
Here of course it will display a number between 1 and 100 (computerTotal = 100)
What i want is to have a random number between 1 and the half of computerTotal
How could this be accomplished?
