I'm currently doing up my flash gallery and there something bugging me.I'm using XML to load my images dynamically and would like the images to appear in a horizontal manner.
image1 - image2 - image3 - image4 etc.
however, everytime i run the swf, the order of the images are randomized.
Code: Select allvar portraiture_images:XMLList; var portraiture_total:Number; var container_portraiture:MovieClip;[code].....
as my images are of different width, I made use of the imageWidth variable to keep track of where the X co-ordinate should be for the next image.
I'm an intern for a small college and have been given the task of designing the athletic departments intro page. Nine different sports teams need to be represented (football, volleyball, cross country, etc.). I have all the visual elements in place but I need action script to work for bringing up a randomly selected picture from a pool of pictures for each sport. In other words, after the slide show cycles through each of nine sports, how can I make it so a different picture is displayed the next time through (for each sport). Or if the page is refreshed, a different image is displayed. My boss is not familiar with flash and needs a folder that she can put images in for each sport after I am finished with my internship.
I want to have a background image that randomly loads from a list of *.jpg files in a txt file. The txt file is to be edited by user (to add a new image) without accessing the code contained in the .fla, and the txt file gives the location of the images.
i am having major brain burp... I want to have a background image that randomly loads from a list of *.jpg files in a txt file. The txt file is to be edited by user (to add a new image) without accessing the code contained in the .fla, and the txt file gives the location of the images. It is possible I know - but my old head isn't working. I need this for a charity that I do free work for;
i have a swf with a list of images on the left and what i want to do is when i click in the image , it will creat an empty movieclip and send an image inside.i know how to do this, but the problem is that i have a 300x200, 200x300 and another sizes, but the max width and hiehgt is 300x300, so i need a 300x300 movieclip and my dificultie is to make the images stay exactly in the middle of the invisible movieclips o they dotn load around places i dont want to .im trying with this:
creating clips this.createEmptyMovieClip("containerFoto", this.getNextHighestDepth()); containerFoto.createEmptyMovieClip("foto", containerFoto.getNextHighestDepth()); var fotoLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();[code].....
in this code the problem is that im notgettting the width and hieght of the image.
I am trying to load a random image into a movie clip that will scale 100%. Then have the content MC noScale and stay the same. If I insert a picture into the bg movieclip, it scales and shows up no problem. Soon as I try to load a random image into the bg movieClip the picture just does not show up!! But what is even weider, is that I have it set up that if the picture is 100% loaded for another MC to play, which it does! So the picture is there, but it's invisible? And no the picture is not progressive.
I've tried 3 different scripts for a random loading image layer and none of them work. Does anyone have code/script for this that will work for Flash 5? I'm totally hung up at this stage and can't move on with the page or site until I have this aspect resolved.
I'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
im playing with the load random movie (but loading a random xml file instead) based on the wonderful tutorial from front page and was wondering whether anyone can show me the work around/upgrade to AS2 for this bit of script since im publishing to Flash 8 /AS2 and it doesnt work:
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).
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
I developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.
[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
So 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.
I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?
i was creating my portfolio using xml gallery script from this site. the thing is that it loads one picture at a the with a preloader between each load. is there a way to load the first image and keep loading the rest so there will be only one loading time? here is my action script:
Is it possible to capture the image loading event like when the image is fully loaded and such when it is assigned to the htmlText of the textFiel???
I have a scrollPane that contains a textField which is loading an image via img tag where there is no scrollbars initially because the textField is not large enough in the beginning, but it is larger than the scrollPane after the image is fully loaded.. and I am trying to update the scrollPane once the image is fully loaded..
im 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
stop(); var movieArray:Array = ['1', '2', '3']; var loader:Loader = new Loader();
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'm loading a .png image with loadMovie() and I need to center the image (for later dragging). I know flash has some issues with loading stuff, but I really need to get the movieclip's width. If someone knows how to get over this and get the movieclip's width
This is a part of a more complex app, so that's why I won't paste any code.
I made 1 image gallery. and i am facing a big issue. When one image is loading in my Loader object. If i click on next image button. It starts loading another image without canceling the existing image. So mutliple images appear at stage in this case. I want something that stops loading older image and start loading new image.
