A person at Macromedia forums gave me this, stating that following actionscript code below should do what I want it to do with regaurds to getting the .swf files to rotate at random. I�m sure it does work according to how he coded it. But I think he has misunderstood my labeling of my .swf files for rotation? My .swf file start at �r_pic01.swf�, and end at �r_pic56� making a total of 56 .swf files. From observing his code; line 12 of the code gives the number 57 being the highest possible number. When the highest number should be 56. Also I think he failed to realize that my files number values are 01,02,03�ect,ect when less than the value of 10. If I am correct on this suspect mistake, can it be fixed accordingly so that it will work?[code]
my question is to diplay random files , and i have given the code as
[Code]....
one more question is "where i need to store all these movie files. either in samefolder where the flash file is placed. or make it as a seperate folder and or in the flash file library". and one more thing is "how can i place these 20 files in a order like declaring the dimensions on the screen. do i need to put in a CSS.
I have 5 external flash files that i am trying to load randomly in from a seperate flash files (main.swf is trying to randomly load: Flash1.swf, flash2.swf, flash3.swf, flash4.swf, flash 5.swf)
this is what i have so far:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("flash1.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
it works in loading just one flash movie but im looking to have to randomly load from the five .swf's
I have code that plays a random swf file from an array.
stop(); var movieArray:Array = ['home lotus','recall','doors']; var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var index:int = movieArray.length * Math.random();[code]....
essentially, I want to be able to load the movie with a button.

I've got main time line as Main.swf (level 0) and few external swf files: Message_01, Message_02, Message_03 etc.By the end of the main time line there is a key frame with the script (AS2).The script should call randomly one of the external swf and load it to level 2.
When person goes to site [URL] they are presented with a different .swf file each time they visit or refresh the page - currently I have three different .swf files that can served up.
What I've done so far to make this outcome a reality: I included a javascript array in the .html document that selects one of three .swf files to present in the page. Here is the javascript:
<script language="javascript"> <!-- files = new Array(); files[0] = "crayolas_pre.swf";
I have gotten my movies to play at random from external files but the links that where coded into the random swf files no longer work. could there be an action script issue? The random swf files are as3 and the player file is as2????
I have some problems reading random size and construction XML files. Example: if u know the construction of file it is no problem, but when trying to display XML data that is unknown structure is more dif. how to read such file? I tried reading entire file into String then trying to manipulate it and have big problems:
I'm trying to have my program select from a random assortment of pictures in the file, and each one is labeled Transition1, Transition2 etc. Each instance of the symbol is named transition1, transition2, though 4. The 4 symbols are in one other symbol with the instance name TransitionImages. For some reason when I run the program it doesn't put the files in the symbols though
stop(); var checkNumberArray:Array=new Array ; var transitionimageLoader:Loader;
I am working on a system that requires me to be able to load large video files using Flash. However, the problem I am running into is that users need to be able to seek to a random point in the file that may or may not be downloaded yet and have it instantly start playing (think Youtube). The video files can be hosted anywhere, and thus I do not have the ability to install policy files or anything of the like.
I have looked into this, and cannot find any answers. Does anyone know of a way to enable this random seeking in Flash files without policy requests or an RTMP server installed at the destination?
I'm trying to pass a random string to multipe swf files using SWFObject 2.0 I'm able to pass the string to one file, but it wont pass to any other object (even if i remove the object that it works on, the string wont pass to the others )
I have made a video player in AS3 and it works very well.Now, i would like to make a function to load and read randomly my video files.I'm looking for the best way to do that.What do you think about that ?I thought of these solutions :1 ) With an xml files2 ) With a database and some SQL3 ) Load randomly the files from a folder on the server.
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.
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..
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
A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
I have a picture on the stage covered by 12 squares (sq1, sq2, sq3.......sq12) When the movie opens I want the squares to move down, but i want a random sequence ( 3, 9, 2, 12...........8). I already made de function for the movement:
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:
Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
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 am trying to implement a random slideshow type thing which would be fine if all of the images were in the one folder, but i want to randomly display them from multiple folders... if I define each path as a variable, is that the easiest way?
ActionScript Code: var pathaURL:String = "folder1/slideshow/"; var pathbURL:String = "folder2/slideshow/"; var pathcURL:String = "folder3/slideshow/";
and then somehow implement the randomness with the image variable...?
