1 is there a way to load an external mp3 file randomly from a list of files in a folder? is there a "rand" function (as in php) or something to get random numbers?
2 how can I display the ID3 tags?
Ok this is what I would like to do. My project I am working on has an app that will upload image files to a specific folder on my server what I would like to do is have it load all the files in that folder through flash without me having to manually add the names of the files into the coding if possible.
I can create an image slideshow but I have to put in each and every .jpg and such I would prefer not to do that as in the future there may be more then 5-10 images.
In addition I already have the app created that uploads files.
I AM USING AIR FOR ANDROID. I want to get all the jpg's (or Mp3's) in a folder of an external folder ... that will be stored on the users PHONE with included in the APP.
How can I do that from FLASH using Action-script 3?[code]...

I was wondering if it was possible to list all the files inside a specific folder using Flash 8 Action Script. Just that I have an image gallery that has all the image names in an array. What I would like to do instead is get the image names from the folder they are in. Is something like this possible without the use of a server side programming language like PHP since the flash file will not be on a PHP server.
View 6 RepliesStructure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

View 3 RepliesI can't figure out how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)
var myItems:Array = new Array("swf01.swf", "swf02.swf", "swf03.swf", "swf04.swf", "swf05.swf", "swf06.swf", "swf07.swf", "swf08.swf", "swf09.swf");
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myMCL.loadClip("myItems[0]", this.getNextHighestDepth());
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?

Does flash no allow .png files to be loaded.The reason that I need the files to be png is because the have to have a transparent backgroung.[code].....

View 12 RepliesI'm programming using the SWT Widget Library for Java in eclipse, and I'm designing a runnable Java application. I've got the application down, I just don't know how to load external .swf files from a folder on "ALL" computers. I can load Images from any computer, because I use the getResourceAsStream line of code. But the "import com.docuverse.swt.flash.FlashPlayer" "loadMovie(arg, arg)" only takes a String.
So I did ClassName.class.getResource("blah.swf").getPath(); which gives you a string, I set it up, and running it on eclipse it can perfectly find the file in the package. When I export it, the runnable Jar I made cannot find the "blah.swf" inside of the .jar file.So there is my problem, how do I load my .swf files from within the .jar or from an external folder so clients can download along side the .jar executable application, so it can point to those swf files.
When I compiled the following code I had some problem.
private var image_loader:URLLoader;
public function loadImageData():void {
image_loader=new URLLoader(new URLRequest("studentphotosBlue hills.jpg"));

I have a Flash application that displays online e-learning tests. Once a user successfully logs in(via .net webservice) the app loads in XML files, images and audio files via Loader/URLRequest objects and uses the loaded data to render the test on screen.This all works fine but recently the decision has been made to put the XML and media files used by the tests in a password protected directory for extra security.I was wondering if anyone has any experience loading files into Flash from password protected folders. From what I can see online I could specify the username and password for the folder as HTTP request headers using a URLRequestHeader object and set the requestHeaders property of the URLRequest to this URLRequestHeader obj. But this only seems a possibility with the POST method and I am using GET.Also even with the POST method there seems to be issues with sending a HTTP Authorization header in player versions before 9.0.124Is what I am trying to do possible or is it not allowed due to Flash security restrictions?

I see plenty of AS3 examples of loading 1 image file into a 1 frame movieclip, but how can you take a folder full of images, load them and treat each image as an individual frame of a single movieclip?
View 3 RepliesI need to call external SWF's so they randomly appear within my main SWF. When one ends, the next will start and so on. I searched the forum and found a thread with the code below and have run in to an issue.
Each of the external clips is set up exactly the same... same length, same tweens, etc.
The code below is sitting the first frame, on the top layer within my main SWF:
randomClips = new Array ("Journey.swf", "Doobies.swf", "LedZep1.swf", "PinkFloyd1.swf", "Stones.swf");
function randomBackground() {
[Code].....
The main movie is one frame long and has three layers. The top layer has the Action Script (above), the bottom layer has my background image, and the middle layer holds the empty movie clip named mtClip
When loaded to the server, the movie plays and one of the external SWF's will load. When it ends, I need one of the other SWF's to load. What happens is that rather than randomly playing one of the other SWF's, it repeats the original external SWF. If I refresh the main SWF, it randomly selects one of the external SWF's and it will constantly repeat.
The external SWF's have no Action Script. I tried it with putting a Stop on the last frame, but that didn't help.
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.
I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.
