ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Random External Swf?
Jul 3, 2011
I'm trying to load a random swf from the same folder when the main swf is started. So basicly the main swf contains nothing, just the randomized code, and the content I'd like to show is in the same folder but being loaded random on startup.
I had a few things in mind but I'm still not sure how to cope with this. I was thinking having the URLRequest load a random number and that number would represent an array spot. And this array spot would contain the information about the external swf I would want to load. But the random would need a max because if the random would give a 20 if there are only 10 files, nothing would happen offcourse.

I'm using Flash CS3. [URL]I have a series of external SWF's that load into a main SWF randomly, then dissapear and the next random SWF loads. It works fine for a while, but if you stay on the page for a couple minutes, then whatever the last random SWF was, starts to repeat, rather than another random SWF loading. I need the SWF's to randomly appear no matter how long someome stays on the page.
randomClips = new Array ("/Flash/ACDC.swf", "/Flash/Aerosmith.swf", "/Flash/Boston.swf", "/Flash/Doors.swf", "/Flash/Doobies.swf", "/Flash/Halen.swf", "/Flash/Journey.swf", "/Flash/LedZep1.swf", "/Flash/PinkFloyd1.swf", "/Flash/Skynard.swf", "/Flash/Stones.swf");
var mclListener:Object = new Object();

I'd like to make a "main" flash movie to load external .swfs. It's not a problem to make it load a random external .swf but how could I make the loaded .swfs randomly load another .swf on the root at the end of its timeline?

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

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I have got my movie to load a random .swf initially no problem. But my problem is this:I have a button that will jump to a frame label in the external movie and play (makes the object in the animation dissapear, but the .swf is still on the stage) When I click a close button (mcClose) I want to unload the current .swf and load a different .swf to come back on the stage, not the same one I already made dissapear. Here is my code, the last bit is the part I know is not working, it keeps bringing back the exact same .swf that shows up when it loads.
PHP Code:
//
addrandom equipment at loadfilename = ["DumpTruck.swf", "frontEndLoader.swf"];path

I have this site that loads random pix from different folders (not xml). What I would like but can't seem to get to work, is for all the different images to be displayed before they are loaded again. If there for instance are 8 images in a folder I want those 8 images to be loaded still randomly before an image are loaded for the second time.
Heres the code I'm using:
var maxVal = 8;
var oldVar = 8;

Download file synchronously in it?I am really new to Flash. I have just read the tutorial "Loading a Random Background" I was hoping that this would help me be able to load SWF files, which in themselves are short movies, on the click of a button.
I have all the SWF files and the FLA file in the same folder as per the instructions, and labled likewise.
However when I try to play this movie, all I get is the main SWF movie, it doesn't want to load the other random movies.[code],...

How do you load external library objects from an external swf? I want to have an external swf that only contains library objects that are exported for Actionscript, and load these from the master .swf file dynamically during the master swf execution. (I may have multiple external swf resource files)I want to be able to load the external swf, and then access it's library objects via actionscript in my main swf file.

On my web site, i would like to load some external FLV files, so that they play as soon as the page loads. I would probably load them into a movie clip, or just directly into the site, either way i dont mind. The catch is, can they be randomly selected from a folder external to the site at the site's route?

I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
This is the bare bones of it:
Code:
sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;
addChild(sceneHolder);

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);
