View 2 RepliesI have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc,
//resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter
onClipEvent(load) {
var maxWidth = 150;

Is there a way that when the flash movie starts it loads into a random frame everytime. As well as a button that would do the same thing.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to have a random movie clip appear when the page is refreshed that houses the parent swf.
View 3 RepliesI have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently using Flash CS4, and Actionscript 2.0 to make myself a website for my artwork. My entire website is being created in Flash (not using Dreamweaver, so keep that in mind.) My site is constructed so that Frame 1 is my Home page, Frame 2 is another page on the site, etc.On my Home page, I want a random image (of my artwork) to show up in the body of the site (there is an interface surrounding it), every time a viewer visits/refreshes the page. It sounds simple, but I've been struggling with this a lot because I keep coming across really complicated Actionscript.
I know there are two possible ways to do this. 1) The images can be drawn from the same folder as my .fla file is saved in...OR...I can attach Movieclips (of my artwork) from my Library, to a blank target Movieclip where they will load on the page. Here's an outline of the functions I want:
-Random selection of image/movieclip
-target destination (where imagery can load)
-(I'll have a total of about 3 images)
I have flash site and client wants random fullscreen background image to load on refresh. sounds easy right ?. but i've tried a lot of components and code snippets but it's causing headaches as nothing seems to work. i have a client squirming because it isn't done.
I did purchase a component from flashden (randombgholder) which does exactly what i want, but it seems to clash with the flashloaded fCMS system i have working in place, and somehow knocks it out, but that could be my bad amateur flash coding causing it. And when i go to center the swf over the background using his code he provided it goes haywire. perhaps i could do a random fullscreen background image on page refresh in html?? i tried some css ones, but nothing works probably because i'm very new to flash and the likes.
I am writing a Flex application to receive xml from an httpservice. That works because I can populate a datagrid with the information. The xml sends image pathnames. A combobox sends a new HttpService call onChange. This repopulates the datagrid and puts new images in the folder that flex is accessing. I want to dynamically change the image without changing the pathname of the image.
<mx:Canvas id="borderCanvas"><mx:Canvas id="dropCanvas">
<mx:Tile id="adTile"><mx:Image></mx:Image>
</mx:Tile></mx:Canvas></mx:Canvas>
This is my component. I assign my Image sources using this code:
var i:Number = 0;
while ( i <= dg_conads.rowCount){
var img:Image = new Image();
img.source = null;
img.source = imageSource+i+".jpg";
adTile.addChild(img);
i++; }
My biggest problem is that the images are not refreshing. I get the same image even though I've prevented caching from the HTML wrapper and the ASP.Net website. The image automatically loads in the folder and refreshes in the folder but I can't get the image to refresh in the application. I've tried
removeAllChildren();
delete(adTile.getChildAt(0));
And neither worked.
i have a dynamic textfield that is being populated from a data base...now, i'd like to be able to refresh that content either onRelease or using something like setInterval..I tried setInterval (see code below) but what i think is happening, being that xml has to load, is that it's hogging it down causing a flicker/pause and eventually not pull anything up(assuming from the lag/load)
Code:
setInterval (refreshbox, 1000);
function refreshbox () {

I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.
View 1 RepliesThe following scripts are for a Load then Grow Frame Function I am using in Flash MX for jpg images (for a photography site). However I noticed that it doesn't work well in Netscape (pc and mac) and Ie (mac). It only works well on IE (pc).The problem is with the photo frames. They reset to the corner of the site with no picture when a thumbnail is clicked. This is my site where I am having the problem:

Absolutely, I am not a professional, so sorry if the question is silly.
I have the script:
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
mov1.nextFrame()
}
The result is that I see the initial frame of the animation mov1 and frame 5. I do not see frames that are played during the loop. I need a refreshing function for frame or movie clip mov1, which could be placed in the loop . Alternatively, a function of pausing the action script to a vertical refres (vsync).
i am working on somthing where i need to be able to refresh the xml. Is there a way to only make it refresh the xml on one frame and not the whole movie? The way i have it set up now it refreshes what i need to, but the rest of the data becomes undefined.
View 1 RepliesI have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)
Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var ant_index:Array = new Array(10);//index for ants
var ant_number:int;

know how to either make a "back to galleries" button or refresh the galleries button (or is it called frames?) when its clicked again so that you don't have to click on another button then click on "galleries" button again just to refresh it.
*note: the pictures in the galleries page are clickable and do go to a different place, they just don't have the roll over hand yet.

why a site wouldn't load on first pull up? I have to press refresh to get it to pull up the content. All the content is dynamic pulling from a SOAP server.. Any clue why it wouldn't load?

View 4 RepliesI 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 have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?
View 6 RepliesI'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
