the code I'm using doesn't work.

when I test the movie I get an error message that it can't find the movie. As an example, the code is adding a 1 to the name of the swf. image11.swf
What I want is for my mc to slide to a new random x position when it is less than 5 pixels away from its target, it keeps doing this. the problem is for some bloody &*�$(()** reason my random numbers only keep going up!! why is this?? i want to produce random numbers between 1 and 770 - this is my code..

why is this code NOT loading a random image, despite tracing random number?
package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am in the process of creating a VS Card game in Flash. It is basically a game where you can choose either one card or another, each randomly pulled from one of the eight different sets. The first card (or swf) can be pulled from any of the 8 sets (out of a total of 12 cards in each set))..and will load into a targetMC, and the second must be pulled randomly from any of the 8 sets except from the folder where the first card was chosen and load onto the second targetMC.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

I am now using the code for my background image which will rotate when you enter a new gallery.I can't get it to randomize.[code]I have tried adding: Math.floor(Math.random() * total); and it almost works. It seems everytime the last node is called it stops working (also at other random times, haven't found a pattern).
View 1 RepliesWith some excellent help from ilike2 I was able to import random objects from a library that can then be dragged to their respective targets (on repeat). However, I forgot to mention that I need to drag more than one of these objects onto the same target and I don't know how to change the actionscript to accommodate this. Would anyone be able to help me with this? In the example below I would also like Blue2 to target targetBlue_mc Here is the code:

Ive got 2 swf files. A.swf and B.swf A.swf is my main page. When a button is pushed, B.swf is loaded into a target in A.swf.That's no problem. What I'm unsure about is this:I want to be able to click a button inside B.swf, which will tell "A" to load a different movie in "B's" place.
View 9 Repliesi just did the loading movie into target tutorial on this site [URL] it worked fine, but when i went to apply the function to a button inside my drop down menu movie clip nothing happened. i am assuming it has to do with the fact that the movie clip button and the main movie are on different timelines. I thought the _root function would tell it to load the movie in the main timeline and not the drop down menu movie clips timeline.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a bit of flash that has some actionscript in it the randomly generates different snowflakes that move upwards on the stage. Problem is I need them to load into a target mc rather than on the top level of the main timeline and I don't know how to amend the code.

how to loadmovie into a target that is located in another file that is loaded onto the stage.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to build a menu, that loads external swf to target movie clip, in the code below it works if I remove the line target removeChild, but then if a press the other button, just put it on top, so my actual problem is that if I don't have anything loaded in target, this code doesn't work because it can remove child?
menu.btn_avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goseccion);
menu.btn_professors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gofotos);
function goseccion(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var main:Loader = new Loader();
main.load(new URLRequest("seccion_basica.swf"));
target.removeChildAt(0);
target.addChild(main);

I have been loading an swf to target by using namedMC.loadmovie ("path+name", _levelN) altho I notice there is another method suggested here about using createEmptyMovieClip so it is all in script. Can anyone suggest a way of preloading all my separate swf files and then playing them at various specified points, like when the previous animation is finished/finishing. I have tried things like altering the _alpha and using namedMC.stop(); and namedMC.play(); but that aint working.

View 2 RepliesWhen I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded? FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.
View 3 RepliesI'm looking for an alternative to using:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyFunction);
The problem I am encountering is that eventListener above works fine on its own(stand-alone swf), but when loading an .swf externally into another .swf, the listener fails with the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
How can you target the event listener when loading as an external .swf differently?
If I use an empty movie clip to load a series of images into,how do I get them to load in the center?The images are all different sizes.I think this is fine, if they loaded with the center of both the target clip and the image aligning.Upper left registration point for the target is not good.
View 10 RepliesI am trying to have one single loader for different buttons to load their specific target. lets say I have btnOne and btnTwo, each of them have their page to link to, btnOne to pageOne, btnTwo to pageTwo, page one and two are external swfs. so can I load them into stage by sharing one single loader?
this is simply my script:

var swfURL:String = ("external.swf");
btnOne.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);
btnTwo.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startLoad);

So I've spent an entire day trying to make my old AS2 file that loaded random swf's work with AS3 with no luck. Every time I think I've found the code to fix it, nothing works. The search here yields results for AS2, but not AS3. I'm ready to throw my laptop through the window at this point. I'm new to AS3, so bear in mind that I'm a newb. I need the ability to load random banner ads into a movie clip in my main flash swf.

I want to load a random swf from a group of 6. Basically from the intial page i want the user to press a button and this then displays one of the 6 swfs randomly.
I have saved my swf files as numbers 1-6.swf and saved them in a folder called movies. I need to firstly generate a random number between 1 and 6 and then load this corresponding swf file.
I'm trying to make an application in which every time you hover on an image (there is only one image on the stage) a new quote is loaded into a dynamic textfield from an xml file displayed over the image.I have so far managed to load a quote from the xml and it looks good, but I don't know how to randomize the quote, now it only loads the first quote every time I hover on the image.Do I need to rethink the whole code, or just add to it?Here's the code:
stop ();
var XMLFILEURL:String = "news.xml";
var spacing:Number = 2;
