ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Random Array Of Library Movieclips?
Jun 22, 2009
I have 4 groups of movieclips all with different names.
Example:
Group1 contains dog_mc, cat_mc and bird_mc
Group2 contains shoe_mc, hat_mc and pants_mc
etc...
What I am trying to do is load a random group initially (either 1-4), then I want to play that group of movieclips. Once that group is completed playing all its movieclips, I want to move on to the next group and play all those movieclips. When all groups and movieclips have completed, I want to loop back to the start.

i am trying to pull out a random movieclip from the library and use "addChild" to add it to another movieclip on stage by using an array.basically, i need to be able to create an array that has all the names of the movieclips i want to randomly pull out... and then randomly select a name from that array so i can use it to get the movieclip out.i cant seem to be able to tell flash that the name in the array is referring to a movieclip in the library.which is why the code below returns an error..[code]

I need to load random movieClips from the library to a middleStage container on my stage. I already have this.
Code:
for (i=1; i<7; i++) {
this["btn"+i].iD = i;
this["btn"+i].onRelease = function() {
[Code]....
I just need to add to that random loading to the middleStage this will only work when the user is not interacting with buttons = btn's.

I have 15 empty placeholder on my stage, named "empty01" - "empty15". I have 15 mcs in my library, with linkage identifiers "01" - "15".
[CODE]...
I would prefer for 'empty01' to load a random mc. Can anyone advise how I could achieve this? I have tried to create an array containing the 15 library mcs (not sure if this is correct):

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

I have a main Movie and on certain frames I need to play a random MovieClip which contains a quiz/question...drag/drop...multiple choice..or whatever...so.I'm wondering out of the many ways my mind wants to do this...which would be the smartest.
1. Put all those MovieClips into a main Movie...and have the Array jumble up the frame number to jump to...when it's been used...take that frame number out of the pool...
2. Have just the Actionscript on that frame when you land on it in the Timeline...have the Array jumble up the external movies...and then pick one and load it on that frame...and then remove that choice out of the pool..

I have an array which contains 3 Movieclips. I would like to Randomly select 2 of these Movieclips (and them not be the same Movieclips).Then I would like to pass those 2 Movieclips into a function that is setup to receive them as arguments. I'm lost and am not having success trying to concatenate the Movieclips with [i].

I was wanting to load different movieclips from within my library onto the stage of my main movie when the user mouses over a button. Each movie clip that I was wanting to load is the same size and also are to load into the exact same location as one another.I think I can do this by setting up an empty movie clip on the stage and scripting it so they all load into it? Is this right?

I have an array of ingredients for soup as strings. These ingredients are also movieclips in my library, all linked with an identifier. I want to add the movieclips to the stage dynamically.
I tried getDefinitionByName but I keep getting an error that the variable "appel" (veg[0] in this case) is undefined. And basically, I only have a general idea what I'm doing here, so I would be grateful if someone could explain it to me or link me to a helpful tutorial.

I have 9 movie clips which I want to load in random order, so that viewers who come to the webpage don't always see the same thing. I have them set up as 9 frames within another mc. I need EXCEPT it always displays the first one first, and then the rest in random order. I tried making the first frame empty, but then there was a big lag before it showed anything, because of the timer. Here's the script I used:
myMc.stop();
time = getTimer();
wait = 500;//1000ms = 1 second
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){

I have a flash file with about 32 empy MovieClips on the stage.Basically what I need to do is take an array of images and load them into these empty MovieClips. Hope this makes sense so far.This array will be dynamic and will come from a PHP file.The problem is I'm not sure how to do this? I don't know to take an array in flash and allocate the images to individual MovieClips.

I'm trying to use an array adapted from AS2 script to load random swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage. Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf. The code below -- almost -- works, but....?
Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {

I don't think I'm as familiar with arrays as I need to be to complete the following project - I've read about 60 posts and no one seems to be doing exactly what I am. Here's what I need to do: From a main swf (home.swf), I need to load 7 consecutive swfs in random order, (movie01.swf, movie02.swf, etc) from an array, into level 1. I need all seven to play without repeating, then repeat them in the same order in a loop.
But I ALSO need the user to be able to navigate through the swfs by using next or previous buttons (or by selecting individually 1-7, but that may be asking too much from my limited knowledge).Here is the code I'm using to generate a random ordered array:
var fileNames :Array=new Array("movie01.swf","movie02.swf","movie03.swf");shuffle = function (targetArray) {for (i=0; i<targetArray.length; i++) {var tmp = targetArray[i];var randomNum = random(targetArray.length);targetArray[i] = targetArray[randomNum];targetArray[randomNum] = tmp;}};shuffle(fileNames )trace(fileNames )
I assume from here I can load the swfs from fileNames [0]. I'm way out of my depth so the rest is a mystery to me.
