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)

(****another title for this could be "how to create a MovieClip variable")
basically, im trying to load random movie clips from the library when i run the function "TRO1".. the logic behind what im trying to do is to to first create an array containing the class names (name given in the "linkage" option) of the movie clips in the library... then randomly select an item from that array... then bring it to the stage.. Here is the code I typed:
var characterArray:Array = ["truck", "car", "boat", "train", "helicopter"]
function TRO1(event:Event):void
{
[Code].....
When i try to run the function, i get the error message "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor..."
I think the problem is that flash doesn't understand what "randomCharacter" is in the line "var character:MovieClip = new randomCharacter();"... I assume there is a proper way of writing the "randomCharacter" variable so that i can use it in the succeeding line...

I am attaching a movie clip from the library with this code
PHP Code:
function movie_start(num){ for(i=0;i<num;i++){ var circle = attachMovie("k_circle","k_circle"+i,i) with(circle){ _x = (-50); _y = (-50); } }}
So is there any way of placing Actionscript onto this clip using actionscript I want to place this:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { _x += (_root.k_xpos-_x)/_root.k_speed; _y += (_root.k_ypos-_y)/_root.k_speed;}
I have tried a couple of things to no avail...

I am using the load random movie script: [URL] with no problems. I would like to add some functionality to it though. How would I make it so once the movie loaded plays, it will play another movie from the array, but picked randomly as well?

I want to randomly load 3 animations in a topbanner on my website. The 3 animations are placed inside their own movieclip and loaded to the stage by using "attachMovie". This works fine. But when a movieclip is loaded to the stage and the animation inside of it is finished playing how do i attach or load another movieclip randomly to the stage?

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.

how to get movie clips to play randomly? Here's what I want to do:
I have four movie clips already created and I want to make it so that when someone visits the page and accesses it for the first time, one of the four is randomly selected and plays (I also want to be able to tell it what frame of the movie clip to go to)!

I need to make something that mimicks The Dancer over at[URL]I've created all the movie clips but I don't know where to start with the loading and unloading of the dancing bits The buttons at the bottom scroll through movie clips with different movement. So the "arms" button would load arms01, then when it's clicked again, it would load arms02, clicked again it would load arms03, and then repeat when it reached the end.

I'm trying to display random movie clips within the library (See attached fla)
each movie clip needs to display (fade in/fade out) and then proceed to display another movie clip from the library
You'll see how i have tried to do this is by creating a random number
Code:
var myImageSequence = 6;
var RandomLogo = Math.floor(Math.random()*myImageSequence)+1;
gotoAndStop(RandomLogo);
this code works, as it always selects a random frame and plays the movie clip within but then stops.
I need to then select another mc after this animation has finished and so on within a loop

In my library I have a bunch of movieclips that are dynamically going to be placed on my stage. Is there a simple method of attaching ActionScript to these movieclips so that when they are used on the stage, they have the script applied to them already?

I am creating a program to play sounds from the library when a button is CTRL + CLICK. I have no problem if I play either of the two sounds on the first frame and then move to other sounds. However, if I navigate past the first sound buttons and try to play later sounds, I get: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object referenceat soundFile_fla::MainTimeline/playSound11()

Here I attach a movieclip to another movieclip 'a'. It works.
_root.MC_menu.MC_windowI.a.attachMovie(itemFocusInv,attachedItemA,getNextHighestDepth());
Then later I want to remove the movieclip from 'a' so I tried this:_root.removeMovieClip(_root.MC_menu.MC_windowI.attachedItemA);-and variations.But it does nothing!In the first code the first argument is itemFocusInv without quotes because it is variable, once it is attached it doesnt vary but when it is not then the movieclip varys. If attachedItemA doesnt let me remove the movieclip, what will? I tried using _visible and didnt work.
_root.MC_useItem.MC_yes.onRelease = function() {
if(itemSpaceA == "MC_inventory_berry_blue"){
aI = false;

the problem I've encountered on the home pg flash is that two big buttons and a bike animation should display prior to the photos loading. However, in firefox on both mac and pc(but not everyone's) when you refresh the pg such that it draws from the browser's cache, the buttons and bike animation do not display. Oddly, the photos still load consitently and in time as if those animations did take place. "oddly" because, the code to load the photos is part of an event listener, listening for the completion of the bike animation. So the code executes properly, despite the movieclips not appearing on stage(these movieclips are in library to begin and in my documnt class I instatiate them as follows:
realtors_btn = new RealtorsButton();
buyers_btn = new BuyersButton();
bike = new Bike(X-150);
[Code]....
also, originally I had this same issue in IE, but after switching from swfObject 2.0 to adobe's ac_runactivecontent.js method, I elliminated the issue in IE.

So im trying out AS3 and kinda havin some issues. I want to be able to attach a button or a movieclip that I have constructed in the Flash IDE - it contains a textfield, some other movieclips, etc.If i make it a button, I have tried subclassing the simplebutton class, attaching that class to the button, and then creating new instances of that class. That works fine - until I have to access, say, a textfield in the button. It seems that these elements are drawn, but are not accessible (or even connected in any way - i used flash.utils.descibreType(mybutton) and the instance names dont even show up in the XML).
So, I thought about a different route - using a movieclip or sprite, and making it react LIKE a SimpleButton. Not what I had in mind, but whatever. Unfortunately, it seems that when I subclass Sprite or MovieClip, the class has to be made dynamic in order to attach things to it from within the IDE before compilation (as opposed to from actionscript).
