I've create a .flv movie in a webpage. I include code that can loop this video. To this point all works fine...But, i want a specific thing: when u load the page the movie clip start at differents points of the timeline, like a random. And it continues to play to the end and loop to the beginning, to the end, to..
View 9 Repliesi think i may have a challenge for you. I would like to have a flash movie load to a random keyframe in a timeline when the page loads. Basically, i'd like to set up a timeline with say 10 movies. When the page loads, i'd like the flash to randomly select from some predetermined keyframes (obviously where each movie starts) and when that movie ends, jump to another section of the timeline. This way, the loading of the movies is somewhat seamless and it looks like i've made 10 different flash movies.
Even if it's not possible to all load from the same timeline, i'd like to have it play the first movie, then when it reaches an ending frame, it loads another random movie from a directory on the server, and then keeps going and going until it can't stand it anymore.
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
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 have a simple multiple question quiz with 100 questions. I want the questions to be randomly asked, without repeating a questions as the end works on a scoring system out of the 100 so it needs to ask all the questions.Question one starts on frame 5 of the timeline and the last question is on frame 105.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a script which displays my frames on a timeline randomly (and shows them for a second or so).
I did find a script but when i place the movieclip a couple of times over my stage - what happens is that the random script is not working anymore.[url]...

What I would like to do is play ramdom movie clips on my main time line. I've tried using the below code, but it does not work:
Code:
var frameList:Array = [1, 2];
var i:int = Math.random() * frameList.length;
"mc" + frameList[i].gotoAndPlay(1);
My movie clips are named "mc1, mc2" etc. I've got them on a layer named "BG" and each movie clip is in a key frame. The ActionScript is on a seperate layer named "AS".
I need to randomly position identical symbols in a movie - I have found a way I can do it in the main timeline using this code:
n = 10;
while (n>0) {
duplicateMovieClip ("/r1", n, n);
n = n-1;

The problem is that the _x and _y parameters only seem to work in the main timeline, and I need the whole thing to be self-contained inside a movie clip, so that I can easily paste it into other Flash movies (about 75 of them). Is it possible to specify a random location inside a MC?

load a random swf into a mc, the random swf will come from a series.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

//
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],...
I have a blank .swf that I want to randomly load several other .swf files. here's the script I am using, but i do not know why it is not working

r = a[random(a.length)];
loadMovie(r, 0);[/AS]
Im trying to load random from the library 10 mc's. Which is not a problem.
But once the loaded movie finishes playing would like to unload it and to load another random another movie and so on.
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");

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 am using this
filename = new Array("1_e.swf",
"2_e.swf", "3_e.swf", "4_e.swf", "5_e.swf", "6_e.swf", "7_e.swf", "8_e.swf",
"9_e.swf", "10_e.swf", "11_e.swf", "12_e.swf", "13_e.swf", "14_e.swf",

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 Repliesdo you know a tutorial on how to load different background images into the flash movie, so that they appear randomly (each time a different image, not in the same order). I would think to put the imgs into external swf and then load them into my main swf, but how do I get the random effect?
