I have 48 movieclips in my library with Linkage IDs of pic1, pic2, pic3, and so on, up to pic48, each with a width and height of 200px. I want these to load randomly any time the swf is run in 8 rows of 6 right next to each other, without any duplicates. How can I accomplish this through AS2?

View 1 RepliesBasically what I need to do is I'm populating a library with a for loop with specific clips that need to be in a random order but never duplicates.So basically, it get selects a random number between 1-6 and if that number hasn't been selected yet, it will run it will use it as my integer in my for loop then continue running the loop until numbers 1-6 have all been used, but never used twice.
View 4 RepliesI am making a drag and drop game using AS2 in Flash CS5 where mc items are duplicated and enlarged from a menu and can be placed anywhere on the stage to create a custom robot. Each part (arms, head, feet, etc.) is it's own mc with unique instance names. I have the drag and drop part all figured out, and I even have the duplicateMovieClip part working...
HOWEVER... Whenever I move from the current frame that an object was duplicated in, to another frame and then back, the clips dissapear one by one if you try to create a new one. Each list of menu items are in their own frames (heads, torsos, arms, etc.). As the duplicates are made, they remain on stage no matter what frame you go to and can still be dagged around, which is good, but as I said previously, they dissappear when you create a new duplicate. Not all disappear at once, only older created duplicates disappear as you bring in new duplicates.

right now i'm just trying to trace each image name and it's height through the for loop, but what i would like to do is stack each image, 1 following the other.
when i run the trace, the output repeats just the last images name and image height. There is something wrong in my loop, right? Also i should mention that each image has a different height dimension.
why is this code NOT loading a random image, despite tracing random number?

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).
View 1 RepliesSo 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.
View 1 Repliesim 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

var movieArray:Array = ['1', '2', '3'];

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 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.

View 2 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 2 RepliesOn 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?
