ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Sliding Text From Array?
Nov 24, 2011
All I want is to create multiple animated textboxes to slide horizontally from one side of the screen to the other and repeat indefinitely in a loop. Now the 'trick' is that I need the textbox contents to be selected at random from an array and for the speed, size and opacity to vary as well (to give a sense of depth, like the 'Parallax' effect).So, the final effect is multiple random strings of text sliding horizontally across the screen at the same time, some appearing closer than others.I'm positive I've seen this effect explained online before, but for the life of me I can't summon the right keywords to bring up a relevant article in my searches (keep getting lots of text scroller tutorials).If anyone knows of any tutorials out there to accomplish something like the above

I have an array (named arrayFull), and I want my dynamic text box (named messageText) to display one random element from the array, changing once per second.The code I have makes it display all elements of the array at once in random order, changing once per second.How do I make it display just one element from the array at any given time?This is the code:
var arrayFull:Array = new Array(1,2,3,4,5);
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

I am having troubles. I have 4 dynamic text fields. I need to populate them by picking a sentence from about 10 sentences. Each text box would need a different sentence which would "scramble" on load. How do I do it? Use an array?

I'm trying to make a gallery where the user can move the cursor to the left and right to have the images slide in that direction. I also want to have the image that's in focus snap to the screen after about 2-3 seconds of the cursor staying around the center.

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

how to make text slide in a text box.What I am trying to do is try to do is that if a line of text is longer than the text box size, then it will slide automatically to the end of that string. If that made no sense, I am trying to get the text to slide like it does on an iPod, iPhone, or iTunes: if the album title is longer than there is room, it will scroll automatically so the rest of the album title is readable.

I have a flash movie with about 350 frames, each frame is a mixture of text and between 1 and 10 images, later on I might add some download file links, website links and videos to some of the frames. I have a menu at the top of the movie which lets you flick between each frame, so by clicking the menu button "image 20" you are taken to frame 20, click menu button "image 135" and you are taken to frame 135 and so on, very simple. I also have 2 buttons at the bottom of my movie, these buttons let you go backwards and forwards through the frames. If you are on frame 50 and click "forward" button, then you go to frame 51, click the "back" button on frame 50 and you would go to frame 49.
At the moment I simply use
Actionscript Code:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(4);}
Which of course would take you to frame 4.
My movie has nothing else, that's it, very simply and very little action-scripting on each button. At the moment my movie just flicks between each frame which doesn't always look very nice, so I want to change it so that the frames do a slide effect. So if you are on frame 15 and click the "forward" button, it would slide from frame 15 to frame 16, so as frame 15 slides to the left hand side, frame 16 would slide in from the right hand side. Or, if you were on frame 21 and clicked the top menu button "image 320", then frame 21 would slide to the left hand side and frame 320 would slide in from the right hand side.
And it would do the slide animation seamlessly and smoothly, I saw some examples online which didn't look very smooth when doing a slide, so it would be good if I could make it as smooth as possible during animation. I have search around online and the only examples I can find are image galleries, which seems to have action-scripting far beyond my capabilities at the moment, or they work in a way that is not any good for what I want to do. I use action-scripting 2, but I could change this to action-scripting 3, I am also using CS4.

using a one line TextField with a fixed width that display text from the keyboard. I'd like that when the display text become greater, it aligns itself on the right, and let appear all the new characters, making the left ones disappearing. That is to say, it slides from right to left, letting always the right part of the text visible. I've tried using the "align" property of TextFormat set to "right", but it doesn't work (it just good to align a paragraph), and cut my text.

I'm using the following script to load a random quote from a text file:
ranQuote = new LoadVars();
ranQuote.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*25);
ran = this["quote"+RanNum];
quote_txt.text = ran;[code]..........
quote_txt.text = "The text failed to load due to an error";[ode]........
Is there a line or two that I can add to this that would prevent it from choosing the previously pick number again?I mean it can use it again, just not twice in a row.

I have been making a memory game, where words are shown to the user. Once they have memorised the words they go to the next screen where the words that they have memorised are shown. They then have to drag each word into a "correct" place and a "wrong" place. I now want to edit it so that I can use two arrays one for correct words and one for wrong words. I want to generate random words from each of these arrays. I have sort of worked out how this is possible to do but using dynamic text, but am I correct in thinking that the whole dragging the words thing is not possible with dynamic text. (I may be wrong though, I am quite new to flash).

When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

I've got the following script that loops an array of movieclips at random positions in and out of the stage using Tweener. My problem is that the loop uses all the movieclips (WELCOME00, WELCOME01, etc.) at once. What I'd like is for the loop to only use one of the movieclips, chosen at random, for the loop instead of all of the movieclips listed in the array at one time.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
var mcArray:Array = [WELCOME00, WELCOME01, WELCOME02, WELCOME03];
var init:Boolean = true;

I have 12 empty Movie clips on stage. I want to get the content (jpg's or swf's) for these containers from an array. This is all fine, but I would like the contents to be loaded randomly into one of the 12 containers. The containers load the jpg's, which are preview thumbnails that need to link to the actual larger image plus some text. Loading eveything is OK, but I haven't figured out how to load the content into a random MC...
I attached the fla and images.

I'm creating a series of banners for a website. There are 3 so far with more to be made. I have made each banner as a separate swf file.The thing I would like it to do it create a randomly ordered array of the banner swf names and then load the banners in that order. Once the banners have been played or loaded through, I would l simply like it repeat that same order again.I have managed to create an array and play through that array in an ordered loop, but how do I create a random array that will do the same thing?[code]

I have problem with getting a random word from an array and the putting that word to a text field.
I setup the array for my words like this:
Code:
// a string of words
this.somewords = "wind breeze storm stormy tornado text space";
// convert the string of words into an array of words
this.wordList = new Array();
this.wordList = this.somewords.split(" ");
And I want to put randomly these words to a movieclip that I'm attaching to the stage about 50 times.

I'm trying to create a program that creates a random map for a side scrolling cave. So I need to store the roof and the grounds y coordinate into a big array, like 10 000 pieces of wall.
The only way I've gotten it to accept some data into the array is like this but I want something cleaner and something that can go on forever.
How should I format the first 4 lines of code so that the array accepts commands like this and expands for the for loop as needed?

I have an Array Randomly loading images on to the stage, there is a 'splice'so no 2 images repeat. the problem is - once the images all get 'deleted' there are no more images the array can pull. I want the images to be recreated in the array.That way It will load the 29 images I have Randomly, with out repeating them and after all 29 appear it will start over again.If I remove the 'splice' I can load as many images as I want however some load twice or more before the batch is complete.
Code:
var images:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 29; i++) {
images.push("image" + i + ".jpg");[code].....
