ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Slideshow Of All MovieClips
Feb 2, 2005
I have a library of about 70 movie clips of company logos that fade in and fade out...I wanted to make a sort of 'random slideshow' of all the move clips, so I went ahead and copied the actionscript code for a timer that would (ideally) delay the time that it takes for the next clip to load.
Problem is, the timer starts up first thing rather than after a clip has played, and the clips then play at the same time. The actionscript is on frame one of the Flash movie (there are about 70 clips, for the example I'm working on I'm just using 3 to start with):
stop();
function wait() {
for (i=25; i<=27 {
_root.attachMovie("my"+i+"_clip","new"+i+"clip", i);
clearInterval(myTimer);
i++;
}}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 4000);
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.
I am using a random slideshow on the homepage of my website. It worded perfect when I was testing it locally, but now that I've uploaded it to an external server which is a bit slower, and there is a delay between loading images. Here's the work in progress site: [url]... I know it has to do with the way the actionscript is written, and the order in which functions are carried out. I just cant seem to get it to function the way I would like it to. I would like it to immediately load the first image and display it, then while that first image is displayed I would like it to load the second image. Right now it waits until the first image finishes displaying to load the next image.
I have made a random image loader for a slideshow, but the preloader does not work for it (I grabed the preloader from a previous website I made) Is there a way to preload the images or the slideshow and/or have the next image pre-load while the current image is playing. I have attached a zip file of the random image loader
I've created a flash slideshow with a fade-in fade-out effect that pulls a random image from a file containing a bunch of images from an XML file.Now what I'm trying to do is create some type of array that would generate those random images but maybe only 10 or so and just play those 10 images so that there aren't any duplicates one after another from pulling a random image from the file every time.
I was wondering how would i go about making a simple application that can be run on a website that can: -show a opening page that will stay for 5 seconds (for advertisments)
-show random pictures (well they will only be text)
What i would like to know is following:I got 10 images inside swf's, named from 00.swf to 09.swf, how do i make another movieclip, load them, display them in a slideshow where they fade from image to image randomly, and when the image is not shown, it should be unloaded. I used .swf file because i got effects on the images.
I'm working on a random slideshow gallery that uses xml to populate the mc, and it works great, but now i want to add a fade-in effect for each 1 of the pics, or maybe a cross-fade,this is the script i have so far.[code]...
I was using Emre Biberoglu's excellent slideshow as a base for a slideshow. Worked absolutely great, until my client asked for the slideshow to display the images in random order.

I tried modifying the values that define the current image to something like: (Math.floor(Math.random() * nodeCount); to generate a random number as it is a common technique which worked well for me in the past.The code is pretty clean, but for some reason, every attempt I made, the image number displayed doesn't match the image shown.

This is the great slideshow from Noponies and I wanted to add a url link by XML to the whole image. I'm pretty close by now but I just can't seem to link it to the xml
I already have an array set up with a navigation and tween on the MC's when the navigation is pressed. My question is, how would I apply a simple automated play to it. The functions are already there that make the navigation bring up my corresponding MC, i just need some autoplay to it.
Here is my source: Code: this.scrollIcons = function(p_offset:Number) { // Scrolls the icon list this.setIcon(this.currentIcon + p_offset); [Code] .....
I want to make the kirupa slideshow that loads in movieclips instead of images. This is a huge multimedia project and the movieclips will each have a lot of text and graphics in them. I want it to autoplay AND have manual controls like "back" and "next".
I'm not too familiar with autoplay, except in a timeline. How can I make this work if everything is in a movieclip on the first frame? Do I need to use the timeline or scenes or can it be done with out them?
to clarify... I have 20 buttons at the top. Clicking each one of them will open a different movieclip into an empty mc in the middle of the stage. I have back, next and autoplay buttons at the bottom. I want the user to be able to manually control the movies AND to autoplay.
im working on an xml based slideshow. Random images loading (only ones and no repeated image) and fade in-out effect. That�s working fine, but the problem is that when animation starts it does it on white screen and then fades in to the first image. How can i keep my slideshow working the same way but starting with the first image already on stage (without fade in)? My Code:
code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import fl.transitions.TweenEvent; import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; var my_speed:Number; var my_total:Number; var my_images:XMLList; var my_loaders_array:Array=[]; var my_labels_array:Array=[]; var my_success_counter:Number=0; var my_playback_counter:Number=0; var my_slideshow:Sprite = new Sprite(); var[code]..........

I want a different movie clip to play each time the swf file is loaded. And after the movieclip has finished playing, I would like another random movieclip to start.What I have:I have four layers, a actionscript layer. And three other layers each with one movieclip on. All these layers are on the first frame.I have placed this actionscript into the actionscript layer:
Code: var clips:Array = ["Paul_mc", "Gary_mc", "Ama_mc"]; playRandomMC();
I have 4 MovieClips and they are in Array but i need to randomly fade-in them on stage within the boundaryes of stage. How to do that? I know i have to use Math.random
I am working on a simple slideshow composed of 5 movieclips that need to play randomly when the page loads, I have looked everywhere for a solution to my problem but nothing i have tried has worked... I haven't touched as3 in forever, and am a very rusty beginner.
I am making a game where random letters and words are generated into movieclips, thats the background. I built it using arial as my font, however I then decided to go with a fixed width font to make sizing the movieclips to the words much more straightforward. Yesterday this worked fine, the font i am using (Liberation Mono) is installed on my computer, all the textboxes which use this font have the character embedding on them, and I have not changed any of the movieclips, only non-relevant code. So I run it up again today and none of the words appear. Thinking it might be some code changes I made I go thourhg tracing out everything, only to find the wrds are being generated, and written to the textbox absolutely fine. I switch back to Arial just as a check and bang it works again.
I'm trying to animate several movieclips. I want them to randomly float around within a certain area of the stage. How would I go about this...do I need to look into Tween classes?
I have a main Movie and on certain frames I need to play a random MovieClip which contains a quiz/question...drag/drop...multiple choice..or whatever...so.I'm wondering out of the many ways my mind wants to do this...which would be the smartest.
1. Put all those MovieClips into a main Movie...and have the Array jumble up the frame number to jump to...when it's been used...take that frame number out of the pool...
2. Have just the Actionscript on that frame when you land on it in the Timeline...have the Array jumble up the external movies...and then pick one and load it on that frame...and then remove that choice out of the pool..
I have a question regarding the dynamic coloring of movieclips. I want to be able to specify a limited number of binhex values, and have those colors applied randomly to a movieclip.
I made a little diagram to show what I mean:
The original clip will be in simple black and white . . . but I'm looking for a way to apply those binhex values to the duplicated clips' color areas in random arrangements.
I can't seem to find any specific information on this anywhere.
