how to load different background images into the flash movie, so that they appear randomly (each time a different image, not in the same order). I would think to put the imgs into external swf and then load them into my main swf, but how do I get the random effect?

I have background elements that slide left and right on the stage depending on where the mouse is on stage. If I take focus off the browser, like if I decide to check my email or open another tab in Firefox, when returning to my flash movie, all the elements have moved off the stage, and when focus is put on the stage, will slide back to the correct position.
I'm using an event listener on the stage to detect mouse movement...
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, parallax);
The function is below is trimmed down example of the function I use...
ActionScript Code:
function parallax(event:MouseEvent) :void {
distFromCenter = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - mouseX;

View 3 RepliesI have multiple movies that I loaded one at a time depending on which option is selected. I would like to load movies in the background while they are browsing one selection. Is it possible to load a movie without loading into target? So that when they select a different option it will have already been loaded in the background and would just have to be displayed in the container.
View 1 RepliesI have gone through the xml slideshow tutorial and have built a simple xml slideshow. I am trying to add a transition between each of the images that looks like many bubbles adding to make an all white screen.i would like to insert something like this: container.loadMovie("bubbletransition.swf");the images transition every 3000 milliseconds or 6 seconds, can someone tell me where to add the code to add the swf at 5 seconds or around 2500 milliseconds.
here is my existing code:
stop();
var total;

A simple question but, despite plenty of searching and much trial-and-error (well, mostly error) testing, one to which I have not yet found the answer: I have a movie that uses MovieClipLoader to load several images. I'm creating an empty movie clip as a holder for each image that I want to load, and using a loop to load each image into its repective holder simultaneously (or at least that's the intention), with loadClip.
What I'm trying to achieve is to monitor the loading progress of the images and when they're all loaded, start the main movie. I'm trying to use an onLoadProgress function to get the bytesTotal of each image, add these up and compare the running total to the overall total. The trouble with this is that onLoadProgress fires repeatedly (as one would expect), giving me the bytesTotal value over and over again, when i only need it once.
There must be a relatively straightforward means of identifying the size of all the images the need to be loaded into a movie, then comparing this with the progressing total.
I'm making a portfolio website, and I have everything set up and working nicely, with the exception of the background images.I've got 5 different links, each one told to load it's own background image when clicked via a UILoader from the main index file. The problem I'm having is in-between the transitioning of the old and new image, the old image completely disappears while the new one is loading and fades in. Basically, the background image disappears and I'm left with a white screen while the other image is loading and before it shows. What I want it to do it for the old image to remain on the screen and then the new image to fade in on top of it.[code]
View 3 RepliesI am designing a website and have for locations I would like to load a random image from the same folder. Goals we'd like to accomplish with this:
1. We want images to load randomly from same folder
2. We don't want any duplicate images on the page at any one time
3. We have different size movie clips they are loading into.
Is there a way to accomplish this? What script do I use to resize the .jpg to fit whatever movieclip it's loading into and how to I tell it not to load an image that is already loaded in another movieclip?
I am rearranging a flash by adding more picture. By default it was 8 pictures but I want to add unlimited number of pictures on XML file and want to load them in Flash. The XML file is parsed into an array (code provded below). I can not figure out the problem as the flash shows only the default 8
pictures, not showing the additional pictures that i have added. I was hoping someone here can help me in taking the parsed XML file and help me load the image
into the movie clip. Also I want to redirect all the Rotate Picture (3d-carousel-menu) links to the Flash
picture showing state. I mean all the carousel-menu links will be linked to image showing stage.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI want to build a nested movie clip which has 5-6 .jpg files which I want to load externally and then dissolve them at the transition time. So eventually I would also be having a timer to start the playback. I do not know how to get it going...... Just want the images to load through a loader, dissolve between them, timer to start the playback and at the end the movie goes back to the main time line. Just let me know where is the starting point for me and how do I address this issue.
View 5 Repliesproblem was that when I added a Dynamic text box with a UIScrollBar, my images wouldn't load into my empty movie clip (there's a progressBar too).I hadn't named the UIScrollBar. It still scrolled the text as it should, but apparently since it wasn't named it was fooking with my other components and thereby with my image loaders.
View 2 RepliesI have 5 different MovieClips in the library, and a main movieclip on stage.
I must load the MCS from the library randonly on the main MC from time to time. How can I do it?
I'm trying to dynamically load multiple images to a Movie Clip on the stage. Where I am having trouble, is when I position different sized images one under another.
What I have done is, assign a variable for the position for the _y of the next image. eg. var spacing:Number = 0;
Since I'm loading the images from a XML file, I've included the height for each image aswell. This is where I am having trouble
eg. spacing += myxml.childNodes[i].childNodes; OR
spacing = spacing + myxml.childNodes[i].childNodes;
trace(spacing);
Say for example, the image I am loading is 400px high, 'spacing' then appears to be 0400 and not 400. After I load the second image, which is 500px high, spacing appears to be 0400500 and not 900.
This is my first post as i m just beginner in Flash JavaScript. I want to prepare a FLash Movie in which all the images r dynamic and the images should change after a time say every 30 secs the image changes.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a flash movie and I'd like to load a background image into my SWF and paint it to the stage using the Bitmap and BitmapData classes. Am I approaching this properly? What code gets the image from the Loader to the BitmapData? Also, how do I get the image to show in the background? I've never understood the BitmapData/Bitmap metaphor, explanations, code samples and tutorial links.

im working on a quiz project where i plan to load images using xml in to flash, can any one help with the script with AS2 or 3
View 1 RepliesAnyway what im trying to achieve is - AS reads a directory on a server lets say, it contains 10 images, this would create movie clips for each one and assign them to array "pockets"(im not sure if you can do this in AS, you can in PHP and JS so I'd expect so) then I'd use a repetitive function to manipulate each one of those images.
