ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Random Frame From An Array?
Apr 21, 2011
Alright. I have been over every inch of the web to find something that works, and nothing seems to. So let me see if I can't explain this as best I can.
I have a simple flash movie with six images in the timeline. One image shows up for a few seconds, then fades into another image. These images are NOT embedded in a movie clip, they are just in the main timeline.
The frames where these images start are at 2, 110, 220, 330, 440 and 550.
When someone first browses to the website, I want the movie to start at one of those frame numbers and then continue to loop through the rest. So if the movie randomly begins at 330, it will then proceed normally to 440, 550 and restart at 2 and continue.
Obviously the code will go into frame 1, but every code I try, the movie will always start at 2 when the person first goes to the site. If the person selects another link on the website, and then goes BACK to the homepage, THEN the movie will pick one of those numbers, but not on the first visit.
Any idea why this is happening? I can only think because the movie hasn't loaded every frame yet.

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 am developing an advertising site and the site has three seperate flash areas. on the top of the page i have created a movie clip and successfully managed to get the images to load randomly. GReat...Here is my dillema in the other three areas that consist of seperate movie clips i want to load images that have been numbered sequentially like p1.jpg etc... what i want to do is to have the images load randomly, and be positioned in the movie clip where i want them to appear dynamically... then if the user clicks onto the next set of images, i need to be able to tell whether one of the previous images has been displayed, if it has, not to show it again.

My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30 clips onto the stage and have it play until it's done.
BUT - once a movie clip is already out, I don't want it to reset or come out again. I'd like the next action to randomly call out one of the remaining 29 clips.
Once each movie clip is done, I need some action to make it go back to the "available" list so that it can be called out again.
I'm guessing that I need to use attachMovie to call out the movie clips, and an array (maybe two) to make sure that I only get one instance of each movie clip. But after lots of searching and various dead ends, I'm just not finding exactly what is needed.

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.

I have 2 different pieces of AS for my full flash homepage but i can't get them to work at the same time properly. This first piece is to load random images onto an array on my homepage.
Code:
var myImages = ["IMG_1318.jpg", "IMG_1316.jpg", "IMG_1317.jpg"];
var rand = random(myImages.length);
loadMovie(this.myImages[rand], container);
//trace("image loaded is "+this.myImages[rand]);
stop();
That part is currently working as intended. The problem is since the stop bit was added at the end my random image array works as intended but at the same time it also stops my clock. Here is the AS for my clock.
Code:
mytime = new Date();
s = mytime.getUTCSeconds();
m = mytime.getUTCMinutes();
h = mytime.getUTCHours();
[Code] .....
Is there something else simple I'm missing that will keep my clock working but not mess up my picture array?

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 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).

This is something I used to know how to do in the first versions of actionscript, but I've been away from flash for a few years and am utterly lost. What I want to do is to get the movie to display random images (from a selection) for random amounts of time (subject to minimum and maximum times).

why my "nieuws.swf' is not going to frame 2 or not showing at all when i press the button with the second piece of code on it? The nieuws.swf has a stop on frame 1 and on frame 2. I can see it right away when i take away the first stop. I use the function playNieuws, to make it all happen.

I have an application swf that loads a big external swf with all GUI components/assets (skin) in it.I want to display a progress bar during loading of the external asset swf file but the images for the progress bar are also included in the external swf file.Is it possible to load only a portion of the external swf before loading the rest. The idea is to load the progress bar images from the external swf, then construct the progress bar and than load the rest of the swf. I was thinking to put it on different frames. Frame 1 containing the progress bar graphics and frame 2 the rest of the assets.

I have a tic-tac-toe game. Where the user would which spot they would want to put their X or O in and then they would go to a random question. That's where my problem starts. How do I get it to go to a random question?[code]This is what I tried using. It works, but it only goes to QuestionOne. I tried putting a comma to seperate the labels, but that just makes it play the whole movie.

I'm working on a mock project (no real client involved) and just sent the site out to some friends to view and give feedback. All of them saw what I was seeing and said it looked great. One person however, said the site looked like it was loading in weird. He sent me a video of what he was looking at. It seems like the contents of my 3rd frame are already loaded in at frame one and the ones that load in dynamically in frame 3 never come in at all. Lots of things going wrong here. Below is a link to the live site and a link to a zip file containing all working files. Inside the zip is also a couple of video files, one is a video of what the site should look like (Vid1.mov) and the other is a video of what my friend was seeing (Vid2.mov).

Unfortunately, it's not working and the animation plays through normally. At the end I have a gotoAndPlay(2); command so it doesn't reread the code again.
