ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading More Than One Random Clip?
Sep 8, 2004
how to randomly load from a selection of movie clips. My problem is, I have two clips that load on top of each other. Ones a blurred image, the other is a clear, and when you move a mask over the image, it goes from blurry to clear. Right?
But I want a different image to load everytime. Problem is that I need both the random blurry and clear pictures to be the same! No point moving your mouse over a blurred picture of a mountain only to find a clear river underneath, right?
I am making a survey which consists of 50 questions in which each question will play one movie clip and will ask the user to enter in a text box what they think about it. After that they click next and will go to the next clip
How do I load a movie clip randomly from an array? Do I need to use a container movie clip to load them into? I've tried a few methods that work for external swf's - but I want to load movie clips that are already in my library.
im playing with the load random movie (but loading a random xml file instead) based on the wonderful tutorial from front page and was wondering whether anyone can show me the work around/upgrade to AS2 for this bit of script since im publishing to Flash 8 /AS2 and it doesnt work:
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).
I want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
i have a collection of movie clips (mc0, mc1, mc2...etc etc), and when motion is detected on a webcam, one of these clips is shown on the stage.however, for some reason only mc0, mc1 and mc2 are being displayed,and i cannot get mc3, mc4 or any others to be chosen.
Code: import flash.filters.* // Assumes a Video object named "myVideoObject" is on the Stage
I'm trying to make a series of 16 short movies loop infinitely in a random order. I have a master movie clip called "random_mov" that has 17 frames. In frame one is an action:gotoAndStop(1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 17));Frames 2 - 17 are my individual movies (movie1, movie2, movie3, etc...), one per frame. The code above does seem to work, but it only works once, looping a randomly selected frame forever. I need it to go back to frame one after each movie is complete so it can select another random frame
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 am fairly new to actionscript infact I've only had flash for a few days, so still learning, but what I'vedecided to do are just small little projects to try and improve my skills and knowledge of Actionscriptas I am enjoying programming8-)I would like to be able to display a random movieclip from my library which I created earlier and convertedthem to a symbol of a movieclip and then linked them with names piece1, piece2, piece 3 and piece 4.What I would like to be able to do is display these movie clips randonly on the stage, I've use an array withjust 1 object inside it but not with 4.
var randompiece:int=Math.random()*3;var mazearray:Array=["piece1","piece2","piece3","piece4"]; I'm not sure where to go from here
I'm making a slide show that will be playing in the background at a retirement party. I have several different slides (movie clips) that I would like continually play at random.So far my random code looks like this:
ActionScript Code: var MCs = new Array("ball", "box", "poly"); var selectedMC = MCs[Math.floor(Math.random() * MCs.length)];
Is there a way to make it gotoAndPlay once it selects the random movieclip?
I'm working on a variation of the photo gallery tutorial, and I've been trying to specify random effects on a movie clip which is dynamically loading photos. I tried using the idea of the randomly loading backgrounds to specify panning effects, except that flash is running several of them on each photo instead of one case to each time a new photo loads.Here is the script, without the random effects.......
[AS] var absX = Stage.width/2; var absY = Stage.height/2; this.pathToPics = "";
I want to have a background that has random movie clips playing. Originally I was going to have long timelines with blank frames. Is there a simple a frame action that I can use that stops the playhead and makes it wait for certain amount of time and then plays?
I have a movie clip which i gave instance name "abc" (suppose). I want this movie clip to automatically load randomly on the scene when i load movie. I mean this movie clip should be seen randomly making lots of duplicates scattering all over the document (like stars twinkles randomly all over the sky).
I have 4 movie clips on the stage, which can be numbered or named whatever you like.
To start, I need some code that tells one of them (at random) to play.
Then when the clip finishes playing, on the last keyframe, some similar code that tells another of the 4 clips to play (at random), but not the same clip again.
im making a site that need to have random videos load on the front page.i have couple of swfs on the root, and i made a .swf named random that will load on the main page (uploaded in same folder with the swfs) and hopefully it will load one of the movies at a time. No luck so far.this is the code i use
stop(); var movieArray:Array = ['1', '2', '3']; var loader:Loader = new Loader();
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;
I know this should be easy, but I can't seem to make it work. All I want is for the variable currentPage to select randomly from an array so that every time the page loads, it displays a different currentPage. This is what I have so far:
var myImages:Array = new Array("outsource_mc","solutions_mc","staff_mc"); var randomImages:Array = []; var randomCount:Number = 1; var r:Number; for (var i = 0; i<randomCount; i++) {
My goal here is to place this movie clip randomly along the x axis, play it and then repeat. This is what I've got so far:[code]It places the movie clip at random location every time a new frame is played but I want it to play the whole movie clip and then replace it.
I have created a movie clip which contains a bubble inside it which floats upwards. On my main banner i want this symbol to appear randomly (time and location) but at the same height measurement everytime, but a random width value.
