I have a couple banners that randomly load everytime I play the SWF but I need
them to random load like every 3 seconds when the swf is playing
What do I have to add to my code to achieve that, here is what I have.
gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random() * 5)+1);
I have this code here to count down every 10 seconds and load an external random movie clip. It works once, but I would like to have it start the timer again-
code:
displayTime = 5;
function countDown() {
displayTime--;
[Code].....
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 12 Repliesi have an array containing the frame numbers and i would like to add an onload event so a random frame from this array would be played on load

At the launch of my movie, I want to load in a random sound clip from an array - here's my code...

I'm pretty sure this isn't working because on the ENTER_FRAME command in the eventlistener
I have let's say 6 frames now, but will be adding more and want a different frame to load each time the browser is refreshed, randomly. I've done this in AS2, but need code for AS3.

View 2 Repliesive set up a timer on a frame that will countdown and then go onto the next frame.
it seems to work but im getting this message in the output section;

I can't seem to find one. All I get are date timers. how to do timers?
I'd like my movie to randomly stop on a frame every minute.
Let's say: after one minute, randomly jumps to another frame
my current little project requires text to be displayed for random time intervals. The timer code is as follows:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 10000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeQuotes);
timer.start();
HOWEVER the random intervals are not random at all. In actuality the interval is *always* about 5 seconds between each text change for the current code. I've tried *A LOT* of different things to try and get it to be random but no matter what I do, the interval between is always the same. I want the intervals between to be random e.g. text appears for 2 seconds then goes and the next text appears for 5 seconds, then the next for 1 second, then the next for 8 seconds etc etc.
I am running a sweepstakes like thing and want my users to all be able to load the page and have the exact same countdown and number generator running. I tried this in AS3 but each user caches their own swf file and gets a different result from the random number generator, and the as3 countdown is a few seconds off from each user. How would I go about making a countdown that is the exact same for each user looking at it at the same time and then a random number generator where every user will see the same result it gives? Is it even possible?
Sorry I wasnt clear on this. I would like to have it where the viewers could see the number being generated when the timer runs out. Kind of like watching the lotto on TV. Again, not sure if this is possible. I have looked around, I know as3, some php, and some javascript. I have given up on doing this in flash.
I have a loop that replays on a random timer.Start of loop frame 1:
function pause(){
play();
clearInterval(timer);}[code]...
on the next scene i just want the frame to stop(); forever but it seems to play after waiting for the above designated timed pause.when i remove the code above, stop(); works fine again. How can i get it to work aside my timed pause? anyway to reset it..ive tryed adding clearInterval(Timer); before the stop on scene 3 and its done nothing
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 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
I have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.

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:

I need to use a Timer for time controlled animation, time the drawing to occur every 500 milliseconds & Draw 20 circles in total. I also need to make sure the circles are completely drawn inside the limits of the stage...
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
// creates a new hundred-second Timer, ticks every 250 milliseconds
var faster_minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(250, 6);
// designates listeners for the interval and completion events

I want to make a button that makes you got to a random frame within a certain range (eg frame 41-50) when you press it. I have tried various codes but so far no luck. Im using AS 2
and the button is within a couple of movie clips, but you can still click it when you test
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).

I making a game in flash and I have a timer counting down 30 seconds and when the timer runs out I want it to go to a different fame! I've no idea how to do this.. the timer is working at counting down 30 secs .
View 1 RepliesI have put this code on the frames where each timer you have 30 sec to drag something and put it into a specific place. If you don't then I bring the user back to the starting frame. The issue that I noticed is that even if I cleared it and put a stop(); code it brings me back to the beginning of the game even if I did it ask it to do it! .
On each frame I put this
Code:
stop();
tm = 30;
displayTime.text = tm;
countDown = function () {
tm--;
displayTime.text = tm;
[Code] .....
Aand it works even on frames that don't have this code on it, why ? I put this clearInterval(countDown); all the time. but didn't work.

I'm trying to create a function that allows you to have like a custom "delay/timer" for each frame.
View 7 RepliesSo I've about hundred of map tiles and each title has some object which does some stuff. And one of things it should do is to update text (a time after which you need to do something) in text field. How should i do it better - with enter frame event and on each enter frame update it or set up a timer object which on each second would update the text in text field?
View 4 RepliesI was messing around and testing some code for a timer. I found an example when I was surfing the net and decided to use the example I found. The timer works great but for some reason it wont go to the next frame when the timer counts down to 0 (defined in the if method at the bottom of the code). Also the code doesn't give any errors either
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var uselessMovieclip:UselessMovieclip = new UselessMovieclip();

I just spent an hour searching for a TIMER that allows a movie to stay in a specific frame for maybe 6 seconds then automatically goes to the next. I've seen some but they are way off my actionscript capability.
I just need something simple,
enterFrame (pause for 6 seconds) then (gotoNextFrame)
