ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Load Text Into A Dynamic Text Field And Load A Corresponding Picture Or Movieclip?
May 1, 2009The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............
ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Load Random Movie Clips With Varying Lengths?
Sep 9, 2008I want to load random movie clips into an area... kind of like ads. but each of them is a different length, so at the end of whatever clip, it has to be able to move onto another randomly loaded clip.
and for the kicker... it'd be nice to be able to add a button of some kind on the individual "ads" that will allow the user to skip to another randomly loaded ad as if that ad had reached the end of it's time.

Oct 25, 2008I'm using the following script to load a random quote from a text file:
ranQuote = new LoadVars();
ranQuote.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*25);
ran = this["quote"+RanNum];
quote_txt.text = ran;[code]..........
quote_txt.text = "The text failed to load due to an error";[ode]........
Is there a line or two that I can add to this that would prevent it from choosing the previously pick number again?I mean it can use it again, just not twice in a row.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Textbox.text On Frame Before Textbox Exists?
Nov 24, 2003I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Random/dynamic Text Into A Text Field?
Jan 18, 2005When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Random Text Quotes Within A Movieclip?
Mar 9, 2010So on my scene is one button and a movie clip.
and so far i have it that when you click the button the movie clip plays and the cookie breaks and the fortune animates out.
my question, is their a way to generate random quotes or "fortunes" every time you play the movie clip. like can their be dynamic text inside the movie clip that randomly picks one of the fortune to display?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Random Without Overlap
Aug 1, 2009I have a screen showing 6 buttons. 3 of these buttons are fixed controls which must always be in view while the remaining three will be randomly selected for each question from a total of about 150 possibilities (do I really have to make 150 differently labeled buttons? (but this is a side issue)). these randomly selected buttons show up at randomly selected screen positions? I'm vaguely aware that X and Y and random will be used here.
The idea is to prevent the user from becoming familiar with the layout and building an intuition which would be counterproductive to the aim of the application. The remaining aspect of this problem after randomizing the position of the three dynamically generated buttons is that they must not overlap the 3 fixed controls which must be always available. I'm sure II could spend weeks on this without a few good tips to point me in the right direction.

View 7 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash 8 Pro] Load Random Array Element And Loop For Random Intervals?
Sep 30, 2006I 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.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Putting Data Into An Array Via XML And Then Selecting At Random An Image String To Load In A Pic At Random
Feb 11, 2009I'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
ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Buttons Inside Multiple Random External Swfs
May 23, 2008detailed as possible. Took basic Flash classes, but no AS other than searching online, taking a couple Kirupa tutorials, so it's all greek tho recognizably so. I have 10 individual "scenes" currently in one swf file, but would love to break these apart individually, and load each into a "container" swf with a "random" code (so each visit to my site starts differently) which I've located and tested with Kirupa's super "Loading random movies" tutorial. Question is: currently I have active buttons in each scene which advance playhead to the next scene. How can I code these to load another swf into the main "container" file and kill/replace the current swf?
Another tutorial "Transitions between external swfs" suggests "if your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip" - but doesn't show exactly how to do this, and I have to say I can't figure the "path" out! Another issue I foresee is that I'll need the script to automatically pull in the next swf file when the current one finishes, if the visitor doesn't click the button first... Haven't been able to find this with a few hours searching, though some threads come close.
