ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Random Jpgs Into A Movieclip From A Folder Online?
Jan 6, 2005
Firstly I aim to load random jpgs into a movieclip from a folder online. online image dir As jpgs will be constantly added to this by anyone, I will never know the file.jpg names to put into my AS. o i was advised I needed PHP to do this, (I know little about PHP) I got some space where PHP works! PHP enabled Right so at the moment I have a Movie Clip in flash with a piece of AS that says
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("http://www.cppa.co.uk/t/test1.php", this, "GET");
filenames.split(":");
myRandom = random(filenames.length);
[code]....
But when trying my php file through firefox its says (php file
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.' in c:websitesfreecrystalwww est1.php on line 5"
So if anyone could give me any advice on how to make this piece of PHP script send the flash the filenames of the directory, so flash can random insert on into a movie clip.

I've been trying to preload 2 jpgs and then load them onto 1 movieclip which I move around the screen.Having the jpgs showing on 1 movieclip is vital to my animation. Tried various approaches using createEmptyMovie(),DuplicateMovie(), loadClip() etc. I'm sure this should be fairly easy but just can't get it to work.

I have an app that "loadmovies" a slideshow.swf in a sub-folder. THis sub-folder also contains an xml file and numbered jpgs.But when I run the main app, and click on the button to load the sub SWF files, the images do not appear. I assume it is a directory issue.
But if I run the slideshow.swf directly from it's folder, the images appear fine.I am using the xml_photogallery from this site for the main actionscript, is there something I can change here to point to the jpgs path?

Is there a way for flash to detect what files are in a certain folder online with just a URL (ie "http://example.com/files") if the .swf file is stored on the same site?

I've got 12 MovieClips, which all have specific functions in the movie. Those MC's will appear and dissappear after a few seconds. But what I want is, that those MC's have to appear at random .If all 12 MC's have appeared, the appearance has to be stopped. So for example MovieClip number 4 has to appear just once. So 12 MC's will appear, but everytime when the movie starts, the appearance has an other sequence.What is written above I want to place in an other MC. So there is one MC which 'load' 12 MC's within it

So it isn't the path.All of the nature photos loa without fail, but my jpgs won't?

how can you load external Jpgs into a swf instead of loading them and compiling the swf. so that they appear in the cache. Whats the function to do this, or is there a tut?

So on my scene is one button and a movie clip.
and so far i have it that when you click the button the movie clip plays and the cookie breaks and the fortune animates out.
my question, is their a way to generate random quotes or "fortunes" every time you play the movie clip. like can their be dynamic text inside the movie clip that randomly picks one of the fortune to display?

Is there an actionscript to play a movieclip at random times? This is when it reached the end frame of the timeline.

I'm trying to go through a for loop, create a movieclip for each database entry, add the image by url stored. The problem is the code I have only does the last image. I know it's because something is not incrementing and they all have the same name. Do I need to increment the name of my loader?[code]...

I'm trying to create a slideshow that loads pics (jpg) from an external folder ("pics/") into dynamically created MCs.What I want is for the script to detect how many pics are in the folder (for future changes), create as many instances of the MC, and load the pics into each one. The MCs will need to take the W and H of the pics, and line up next to each other. This last part is not as important, I'm just wondering how to determine the number of pics in the folder. Do I need XML or will AS 1.0 or 2.0 do this?

I am trying to load a couple of .jpg files by getting array data from .txt file. I searched this forum and found some code bits I could use. When I tested the file, getting array part seems to work fine (I get output for tracing), but nothing loads onto movie clips.
Here is the code:
var dataArray:Array
var dataLVs = new LoadVars();
dataLVs.load("vars/imgName.txt");
dataLVs.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){

I am definitely horrible at ActionScript'ing. So it's taking me a while to get anywhere.
I want to use a button to trigger random sounds (.wav & .mp3) from a folder. And is it possible to do this wihout taking into account the number of sounds in the folder (since there will be many and no set number). And is it possible to this without caking the file names into consideration?

What I'm trying to do is simple but I just can't seem to find a clear answer on how to accomplish this. I've loaded jpegs into my main movie before, but I've always created swf files of the jpegs with its own independent preloader on the first frame of the swf. This seems to work fine but it does get quite tedious having to create all of these swf's. I would like to beable to have a folder present on the server where I can just through in some random jpegs and the main movie will then show and hide a preloading bar showing the progression of the jpeg that is loading.

I have a little Flash header and each time it loads I want it to load one of six images randomly, onto the stage as a background... The images will be sitting in a folder in the same directory as the Flash file so they can easily be updated, anyone ever done this?

I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.

I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
