ActionScript 2.0 :: Variation On The Random Quote Tutorial - Stuck
Apr 18, 2006
I followed the Random Quote Tutorial, pretty self explanatory really as all the tutorials are. is simple to have a whole bunch of words, load them randomly into a text box and then animate that text box randomly on the stage. So for example I'd have 'BLAH' loaded into a random area on the stage (or a specific set of coords if needs be) and then 'BLAH' would scale up from zero to fade out into _alpha=0 and a massive scale.
The problem I'm having is that whilst I can follow the random quote tutorial that relies on pressing a button to trigger the quote being loaded, thats my first problem. How to load the random word into this text box to then be displayed on the screen, do something with that text box (the animation) then loop back round once its finished. I'm assuming I get this by....if textbox._alpha = 0 then go back to the beginning type thing?!

I'm using the quote randomizer from kirupa, but the same couple lines out text seems to arise far too frequently. any ideas? I was thinking that i could remove the random part of the script, and just make it go from 1-100 in order,

I've been messing around with this XML random quote rotators from this site but I'm unable to make it so it doesn't repeat the same quote twice. It has a tendency to show the same quote 3x in a row.
PHP Code:
//importing tween classesimport fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//we create a variable to store the loaded XMLvar xml:XML;
//the path to the xml filevar xmlPath:String = "data/quotes.xml";

I'm trying to produce a one frame random quote field. I have a dynamic text field "quotebox" with the var of "quotefield"
rn=random(10);
loadText=new loadVars();
loadText.load("quotes.txt");
quotern=["quote"+rn];
loadText.onLoad=function() {
quotefield.text=quotern;
};
That's what I have for code. On the qoutes.txt file I have quote1-quote10 listed. I can get the quotern to display in the text field but can't get the quotes in the text field unless I do this
loadText.onLoad=function() {
quotefield.text=quote10;
Add the quote# to the code which then displays the quote.

As part of my brief, I have to create a small flash movie that will load a random quote (which is actually a jpeg image), fade it in to view, display it for a length of time (probably only 3-5 seconds), fade it out and then load another random quote. Is this possible to do, purely using actionscript? I can randomly load an image - I used the "Random Background Image" tutorial on this site - but getting the fading/pausing/fading then moving to another quote has got me stumped.
The images are imported into their own swf file that is loaded into a placeholder movie on the html page. I tried adding in a for loop to the individual swf and the placeholder movie, to loop through alpha property of the image (just to fade up for the moment, till I get it working) - but this didn't work at all. I could use tweens for the fading, but this could end up a mess and more work than it needs to be as there could be quite a lot of quotes added over time.

I tried to remake the random movement tutorial [URL] but at the end the objects stayed all at the same place. So I downloaded the fla at the bottom of the page and when I previewed the animation it also did not work. I use Flash MX on a Windows XP pc.

I'm helping w/ the website at our church and came across the "Flash Random Quotes" tutorial here on kirupa.com at:url..How can I do something like this, but I want the quotes to randomly display about every 10 seconds, as long as the page is open.I don't want to only have one, single random quote on page load.I'm tasked to have a random display of ongoing "testimonies" on our church website. Right now, I'm using jquery, but it's quirky (as you can see below), but the worst thing is, it isn't random - it loads the testimonies in order that they are listed in the sidebar.php file. So, everybody that visits reads the same few testimonies at the beginning, and doesn't see the other ones.I'd rather try and use Flash to pull random testimonies from the quotes file ... but I don't want it to only show one ... I want it to show a random testimony, then about 10 seconds later, show another random one, etc.

I have a movieclip with a grid of 9 squares (3x3) what i would like to do is have each square move either on the x or y axis into a position of another square (like one of those puzzles where you move the tiles around to form a picture...) a random square in a random direction at random intervals.I have tried editing the random movement tutorial on Kirupa, but i cannot get the effect i need.url...

The random motion tutorial works just perfectly with one movieclip, but when I try to make a new movie clip and assign the same code to it, it really doesn't duplicate at all. The original movieclip has an instance name of dot so I created a new movieclip with instance name of dottwo.But for some reasob the following code doesn't duplicate the dottwo at all
i = 0;
while (i<25) {
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+i, i);

I have a movie which is serving as a button.When you rollover the image, it grows, and stops.When you rollOut, it shrinks, and stops.This code works fine. The Problem:When you scroll the mouse over quickly, the animation get stuck and doesn't execute the rollOut code.This is most likely because the first rollOver action hasn't yet completed.Here's my code:
thumb_test_4.onRollOver=function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}[code]....

I have played around with it and made it "rollover" instead of "release".However, i don't really like the random colors selected.Can i choose a certain color series (yellow for instance; light yellow, dark yellow).Or make it turn into a specific number of colors on the same square; it can randomly select from a series of colors i have listed?

I created a class based on a great tutorial. It works and all that. Then I learned from another tutorial and that works great. The problem is that I'm trying to fuse them together and am just under the comprehension level for this. Could someone take a look and help me out, preferably explaining why I keep getting this error? I'll try and be as clear as possible about my needs and I'll show the code:
Needs: I want to create a button using AS3 that goes into a folder and grabs an image. I want to be able to use this over and over again so I can have, for example, three buttons that are different sizes with different images in them on the stage at the same time. I created (or learned to create) this class called Image in order to do so.

I made a menu by attaching movieclips and specifying the text as a variabel. the main movieclip is called meny, then I attach the movieclips txt and pil (pil is norwegian for arrow) inside it, and specify the y pos. This works on my mac, but when I see it on a PC the text is down by aprox. 5-8 pixels.

I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

original: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:

I have an empty dynamic text field that I attached the UIScroller component to.
Clicking on a button sends text to it, but the scrollbar doesn't register the text to make it scrollable. It just gets cut off at the bottom.

this menu is somewhat similar to the infinite scrolling menu that is often used except this one doesn't scroll based on mouse position but rather on which button is clicked in the nav.
i have an mc called 'menu01' in which there is an mc called 'menuslide' containing the series of buttons in the nav. when each button is pressed, i want menuslide to slide to the correct position (with that button flush left) and the button to slide down to highlight what page one is on. when another button is pushed, menuslide should slide to that position while simultaneously sliding up the highlighted button and sliding down the new button.
i 'sort of' have this working, but not quite.. i think the problem lies in how i have to shift the position of menuslide back to _x:0 when it gets to the end so that it looks like an infinitely looping menu. there also seems to be some conflict with the arch01 button as it doesn't slide down to highlight when it moves into position.
i have attached the fla if anyone has the time or inclination to take a look.

I've created an MC to control the various sounds throughout my flash file. I'm sure this is an ugly way to do things (in AS 2.0) but barring that, here's what I'm trying to do, and what I got at the moment:I need one of several sound clips to play (1-4) depending on a particular frame that's reached. If, during the sound playback, a user clicks a navigation button, I need the sound to quickly fade out (and I'm assuming have the sound object stopped or destroyed to preserve resources?), so my _root mc targets a frame within my SOUND mc and creates the 'standard' sound object:
Code:
VO_mobile = new Sound(mobilesound);
VO_mobile.attachSound("vo_mobile");

I'm following the complex button tutorial (http:ur....), though I'm trying to alter it a bit so that I can have an animating movie inside the movieclip, but be able to use another movieclip (or button or whatever) to define the size of the first, since the first is so big just about any movement on the stage triggers its movement.

public class TileArray extends Array {

Why can't I do this?
var tl:TileArray = [1,2,3];
despite the fact that I can do this
var ar:Array = [1,2,3];

Create a flash application which will be displayed on a web page which will read from a list of text inside an XML file and display them randomly with fade-in fade-out effects and also at random positions.My current approach to the problem is using a Dynamic Text Area which will read from the xml file, however I only got to the stage where the swf will read the xml file. Trying to get the fade effect and the positioning effect is proving very difficult for me.The sample XML I am working with:
