What I'm looking for is to have a button on the screen. When clicked it will generate a random fact. I'd like to have around 25 facts, although the number doesnt matter at this stage.
I'm only learnigng flash and actionscript at the moment so my thoughts are a bit confused. Would I store all the facts in an array and use the math function to generate a random number that will access the fact stored in the array? not sure how the code would look like.
All I want is to display a random node from an xml file in Flash. I can display one node fine, but if try to display 2 or more, Flash sticks the XML tags back on the items - change the number following questions in the urlLoader_complete function to see what I mean.
Here's my AS3:
var questions:XML;
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("breakfast.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

In my program i need it to display an image along with some facts at the click of a radial button.I have it set up now where it displays the image with a radial button and loads a new one if i click a new button but it keeps the same fact text instead of changing it.have the text in a if else statement:
if (imageArray[0]) { facts_txt.text = "Inner Planet" + "

I have an XML slideshow displaying random images.
It works but sometimes duplicates the same images or displys the same image way more than the others...
Is there an action I can call so ALL my images play once in random order, before they get to be displayed for a 2nd time?[code]...
The following program gives me the results in the output panel because I used trace. The problem is that I want these numbers displayed when I click on a button. The numbers should not duplicate when the button is clicked, for example not "3, 3, 2" but "3, 2, 5". Here is the program that randomly selects numbers (which by the way is not mine): (I'll happily donate 15$ to the animal charity of your choice for whoever can give me a hand with this problem
var mynumbers:Array = ["1","2","3","4","5","6"];
var mystuff:Array = [];
var randomCount:Number = 3;

I'm tring to import a text file and have a dynamic text field display a random line from that file (picture a quote-of-the-day type scenario). I've been able to import the file, but I have yet to find a way of displaying a random line from the file.
View 8 RepliesI want to load an XML file and display at random a different line when a button is pressed. I swear I've seen dozens of different ways to do this online already and I've tried to copy them for my purpose
Here is my XML file titled "file"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
<quiz>

Of course, once I get this working I'll need to output the text in a text box and assign a button press to load a new line.
I am having a really frustrating problem with creating 2 random numbers. When I run the program, everything works fine, until I hit my object and go to the screen "math". Once there, all it shows is one number in one of the 2 boxes. Below is the code used to generate the numbers. I used the "trace" command to see if it was actually generating the numbers, and it is. The problem seems to be with pushing that number into the variable and displaying it to the user.

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.
Like the title sugges¦ Is it possible to srand Flash's Math.random?I'm asking because I'd like to generate psudo-random numbers in a repeatable way.

I have to decide whether I should choose a Flash or a HTML5 presentation tier third party application for displaying virtual tours. The thing is: The Flash app is better, but doesn't work one iPad. Which do you think I should go for? Flash, high quality or HTML5, a little worst quality?
View 3 RepliesI embedded a flash (.flv) file in html page via dreamweaver cs4. the page displays the flash locally, and also remotely if i remote desktop and view. However when I launch the website via live url all i get is a blank white box where the flash content should be. I've checked permissions via flash security settings, and can't seem to make it work. I believe the code is valid or it wouldnt play on the local and remote desktops.

We have an ASP.NET 4 website that displays flash files. It has come to our attention that these are not fully supported on HTML5, and that they will not play on HTML5 platforms such as the iPad.So, in order to support such platforms, my thinking is that we need to try and display the video using the HTML5 <video> tag if the browser supports HTML5, or fall back to flash if it does not.However, it would seem that this requires our site to provide two video formats (flash format and video such as MP4). That presents problems because A), we need to store multiple video formats on the site, and B) our existing flash data will no longer work.Can anyone recommend information about the best way to support as many platforms as possible. And is there any way to do so without having to support multiple video formats?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get Flash to display the contents of a URL within Flash. I am aware that this is likely not possible as Flash cannot interpret anything other than HTML in regards to display? I have two images attached from a site called WidgetBucks that seems to have a solution. The first, is the dialog box where you input your site. It must then somehow take a snapshot of that site and then display it in Flash? How can Flash take a snapshot of a URL and then stick it in a clip on the stage?

I recently created a flash holiday card which displays perfectly in both Chrome and Safari but will not display in Firefox. I can hear the music playing but can't see any of the images. I've updated to the latest version of Firefox and updated the Adobe Flash Player. I don't have any plugins or extensions installed and have tested this on 3 different computers.

So I've got a video in wmv format. I convert it to FLV/F4V so I can then import it into flash cs4, so it will have a timeline, pause, sound feature thing.I then export it as an swf, upload it and the result equals no video being shown on the website!I think its because web browsers don't support flv/f4v files, does anyone no where I am going wrong and how to get the video to display on a website?
