ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Random Quote Rotators In Row?
Mar 12, 2011
I've been messing around with this XML random quote rotators from this site but I'm unable to make it so it doesn't repeat the same quote twice. It has a tendency to show the same quote 3x in a row.
PHP Code:
//importing tween classesimport fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//we create a variable to store the loaded XMLvar xml:XML;
//the path to the xml filevar xmlPath:String = "data/quotes.xml";
[Code] .....

I'm using the quote randomizer from kirupa, but the same couple lines out text seems to arise far too frequently. any ideas? I was thinking that i could remove the random part of the script, and just make it go from 1-100 in order,

I'm trying to produce a one frame random quote field. I have a dynamic text field "quotebox" with the var of "quotefield"
rn=random(10);
loadText=new loadVars();
loadText.load("quotes.txt");
quotern=["quote"+rn];
loadText.onLoad=function() {
quotefield.text=quotern;
};
That's what I have for code. On the qoutes.txt file I have quote1-quote10 listed. I can get the quotern to display in the text field but can't get the quotes in the text field unless I do this
loadText.onLoad=function() {
quotefield.text=quote10;
Add the quote# to the code which then displays the quote.

I followed the Random Quote Tutorial, pretty self explanatory really as all the tutorials are. is simple to have a whole bunch of words, load them randomly into a text box and then animate that text box randomly on the stage. So for example I'd have 'BLAH' loaded into a random area on the stage (or a specific set of coords if needs be) and then 'BLAH' would scale up from zero to fade out into _alpha=0 and a massive scale.
The problem I'm having is that whilst I can follow the random quote tutorial that relies on pressing a button to trigger the quote being loaded, thats my first problem. How to load the random word into this text box to then be displayed on the screen, do something with that text box (the animation) then loop back round once its finished. I'm assuming I get this by....if textbox._alpha = 0 then go back to the beginning type thing?!

As part of my brief, I have to create a small flash movie that will load a random quote (which is actually a jpeg image), fade it in to view, display it for a length of time (probably only 3-5 seconds), fade it out and then load another random quote. Is this possible to do, purely using actionscript? I can randomly load an image - I used the "Random Background Image" tutorial on this site - but getting the fading/pausing/fading then moving to another quote has got me stumped.
The images are imported into their own swf file that is loaded into a placeholder movie on the html page. I tried adding in a for loop to the individual swf and the placeholder movie, to loop through alpha property of the image (just to fade up for the moment, till I get it working) - but this didn't work at all. I could use tweens for the fading, but this could end up a mess and more work than it needs to be as there could be quite a lot of quotes added over time.

Create a flash application which will be displayed on a web page which will read from a list of text inside an XML file and display them randomly with fade-in fade-out effects and also at random positions.My current approach to the problem is using a Dynamic Text Area which will read from the xml file, however I only got to the stage where the swf will read the xml file. Trying to get the fade effect and the positioning effect is proving very difficult for me.The sample XML I am working with:
<tag>
<tagline>Global Jobs Pact</tagline>
<tagline>Green Jobs</tagline>
<tagline>Decent Work</tagline>[code]......

I have a flash front end that displays information and is capable of building MySQL queries and handing them off to PHP via loadVars. PHP handles the dirty work of connecting to the database, executing the queries, and returning any results. So my problem is with single quotes. In flash I can build the query string with single quotes easy enough, but for some reason php keeps doubling them up and messing up the query.
Here is an example of the flash code:
ActionScript Code:
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var load_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
load_lv.onLoad = function(bSuccess){
if(bSuccess){
trace(this.output);
[Code] .....
The problem is that the sql statement that php is trying to execute looks like this:
insert into mytable (field1, field2) values (''value1'', ''value2'')
Where each single quote has been turned into two single quotes for some reason.

What's the best way to handle the " symbol, dynamically written to XML output from a PHP upon request, and then pulled into Flash, parsed, and assigned to a String?Should the entire node's data be wrapped as CDATA in the XML document? But when when it gets assigned as a String in Flash, will Flash freak out because there's a " in it?Should PHP write escape characters into the node's text to escape quotes, ampersands, gt/lt, and apostrophes (and then will Flash handle these ok?)? Or should PHP convert all unsafe characters into their HTML equivalent?What about the British pound symbol? We're using UTF-8, so is there a safe way to handle this?

I am build a rotating quote display for a website I'm working on -- the quotes come from a MySQL database and are displayed with PHP. A new (randomly selected) quote needs to fade in and then out every few seconds.I am mildly accustomed to Flash and know PHP and MySQL very well, so I was able to get the database interaction and whatnot going. You can see my progress here: [URL]I am willing to post the .fla file;

I'm trying to populate a Flash quote system with XML but as try as I may I'm unable to get the subsuboption (like Jewelcase --> Insert --> Glossy finish) to work.
Basically this quoting system has been dumped on my desk and I have till Monday to update it (I'm a graphic designer not a flash developer and I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing!).
The AS Code is:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
[Code].....
Now I can get it to compile, but when it goes to pull the data it will work upto the Suboptions and then any code further on fails to load (so I suspect there is something wrong with either the XML or the AS tying to the XML).

Code:

qNum = Math.floor(riddles.length*Math.random());
partThree = quotes[qNum];

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

A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
bg music[code].....
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.

Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
