ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Loop - Randomly Loading JPG Banners

Aug 9, 2004

I am trying to create a movie clip that loops and on each loop it loads a random little .jpg banner from a directory. The banners are named 0.jpg, 1.jpg and so on, a script on the first frame of the loop saying

Code:
_root.randomnumber = random(_root.bannernumber);
_root.bannerloop.bannerholder.loadMovie("[URL]");

"Bannernumber" is a variable from an external text file specifying how many random numbers to cycle through (how many banners). This works just fine and loads up a new banner after each loop cycle. The problem lies in trying to make each banner go to its own url, I have another external text document with variables
"click0=url, click1=url etc"

Where I want the number in each variable to equal the random number variable in flash, then use an
on(release){getURL(urlvariable)}

Function to have it retrieve the url that is somehow in the url variable. Basically, how would I make the urlvariable be equal to the "click0" variable to get the url of the click0 variable into the getURL function? While having the number in the "click0" variable be equal to the random num variable? If I'm going about the random banner thing completely wrong.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Randomly Remove An Item From An Array In A For Loop?

Oct 27, 2005

Let's say I wanted to randomly remove an item from an array in a for loop.

Basically, it would go something like;

thearray = ["lol", "dude", "ROFL", "lame", "excellent"]
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
randomness = random(thearray.length())
thearray.remove [randomness]
}

Obviously that last line was made up, that's where the code goes for the item-removal.

IDE :: FLV Not Loading Randomly

Jan 27, 2009

URL...that has videos in the work section (click work, then the tv icon or the radio icon at the bottom of the page) that will randomly not load.THe weird thing is that the files have never moved, and yet, the same computer on the same ISP using the same browser that could view the videos 2 days prior, suddenly cannot.I'm also having an issue where the flash won't even load on startup randomly.This had happened one time in the past, and I took the page from a test area of the site and put it live, and it solved the problem. So my last ditch plan z is to make a mirror to link to in case the videos aren't loading for a user.

Professional :: Loading External Movie Clips Randomly

Mar 2, 2010

I am currently trying to load a movie clip in the main SWF. Got that done.Then call and replace the first movie clip with another, got that done too.This is for a menu i am making, I am not too great in action script. I am working in AS2.Problem is after I call the second external movie clip into the main SWF, it all stops working.Is there a way I set this up that no matter what it keeps loading and unloading the external movie clips? This is what I have so far.[code]This starts with the "king_menu.swf" already loaded, i have it unload it and load "dqueen_menu.swf" to the call point named "load_king".I am guessing I need to have a universal call point for all my external movies to load and work in a random chain.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading SWF Files To Parent SWF File (randomly)

Nov 20, 2011

I have a FLA site built in AS2 that once you get to the home page it plays one song and only one song. If I want to set up so that when the user clicks back to the home page from anywhere else in the site it plays a different random song (there are 8 total).

So in other words when you initially land on the home page it will play Song 1 every time. But when you click back to the home page from anywhere else on the site, it randomly plays the 1 of the 8.

I have it so that Song 1 plays every time initially but I don't know how to set it up in AS2 to have it randomly play songs when you click back to the home page from deeper in the site.

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Photo Gallery - Randomly Loading Pictures

Code:
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0; picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);}}

I don't know much, but I'm thinking there should be some variant of "math.random" around the

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading 4 External .jpgs Randomly And Resize Them?

Jul 30, 2009

I have designed a homepage that has 4 boxes on the right hand side that are of different size. I would like to have a movie loader that loads .jpgs randomly from a specified folder into each box. At the same time I don't want any repeats in any of the 4 boxes. Also is it possible to resize the images according to the box size without having to resize them outside of flash? I can have all the images in the external folder the same size, but then if I can just shrink them with whichever image falls into the box the random script assigns.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Randomly Loading Mc From Library, And Attaching Random Movie To It

Sep 18, 2005

Basically, I have movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4 in the library, with linkages.

These are just 5 frame clips, with a single dummy_mc moving statically over the 4 frames.

I need these to be picked randomly and placed (each has its own set of co-ordinates where it should appear) on the stage at a random set interval (ie, every 2-3 seconds).

There are also 7 items (item1, item2, etc) in the library.

So once one of the 4 movies has been placed on the stage, I need one of these 7 items to randomly attach itself to the dummy_mc within that movie (and, I guess, generate instance names etc)
