I am working on a simple slideshow composed of 5 movieclips that need to play randomly when the page loads, I have looked everywhere for a solution to my problem but nothing i have tried has worked... I haven't touched as3 in forever, and am a very rusty beginner.
View 1 RepliesI want to have a background that has random movie clips playing. Originally I was going to have long timelines with blank frames. Is there a simple a frame action that I can use that stops the playhead and makes it wait for certain amount of time and then plays?
View 6 RepliesWhat 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 am trying to play a couple of movie clips one after the other one. In other words, I would like movie clip A to run and execute the AS attached, then I would like movie clip B to run and execute the AS attached to it
View 4 RepliesI have a few movieClips and I would like them to play one after the other. [At end of MovieClip play next movieClip]. Using AS3 to Tween, this is my first Clip props.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(FloatRight_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, 22.00, 495.95, 3, true);
var myTweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween(FloatRight_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 1, 0, 3, true);
How do I get the next movieClip to start playing before its completion, and so on?
I got a simple slide show that has some images playing out and them jumping to playing from random frame labels until it gets to the next frame label and then plays another random one.
PHP Code:
function getRandomLabel():String{ var labels:Array = new Array("a","b","c");var index:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * labels.length); return labels[index];}this.gotoAndPlay(getRandomLabel());
So my next question is I wouldn't like flash the play head to jump and play the same frame label two times in a row? I'm pretty sure that it has somthing to do with a conditional but I'm kind of stumped on where to start with all of it?
I'm working on an AS 3 file but I can't make it go to fullscreen. The other problem is that it plays a list of youtube video's, but I want it to be just looping the list, not playing them randomly.
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Stuck a random load swf script on main timeline:
Code:
_root.container.loadMovie("work"+(random(3)+1)+".swf");
Then on each but the appropriate code - this is for button 3:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "work3";
[Code]....
When the flash is loaded it loads in the SWF randomly fine. BUT!... when I go to select another item from the menu, I need to select the button for work1.swf first before I can then go select button for work2.swf load...
I was working on having a slide show that jumps to random frames labels well I got that taken care off:

To the code and then compair them in a conditonal. What is actully happening is when I publish my movie it simply plays throught the time line linearly going from A to F in normal order. [URL]
I'm trying to make a menu that has multiple movie clips as buttons and control them all with an array and one event listener. There will be many movieClip buttons on my page but for now I have two animated movieClips each with a stop(); action on fram one. The movieClips have 15 frames of animation. The main timeline of my movie has only 1 frame. Each movie clip is on it's own layer. If I create an event listener without the array I can get the buttons to work individually but when using the Array I can't get it to work.
Code:
Select allvar buttonArray : Array = [btnA, btnB,];
for each (var button : MovieClip in buttonArray) {
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleMouseEvents);
} function _handleMouseEvents(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
When I use the trace function instead of gotoAndPlay(1); it works perfect?
Code: Select allvar buttonArray : Array = [btnA, btnB,];
for each (var button : MovieClip in buttonArray) {
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleMouseEvents);
}
I created 3 movieclips each are loaded externally.
videoHolder1.loadMovie(movie1.swf);
videoHolder2.loadMovie(movie2.swf);
videoHolder3.loadMovie(movie3.swf);
[code]........
I want a different movie clip to play each time the swf file is loaded. And after the movieclip has finished playing, I would like another random movieclip to start.What I have:I have four layers, a actionscript layer. And three other layers each with one movieclip on. All these layers are on the first frame.I have placed this actionscript into the actionscript layer:
Code:
var clips:Array = ["Paul_mc", "Gary_mc", "Ama_mc"];
playRandomMC();
[code].....
My goal here is to place this movie clip randomly along the x axis, play it and then repeat. This is what I've got so far:[code]It places the movie clip at random location every time a new frame is played but I want it to play the whole movie clip and then replace it.
View 3 RepliesI have gotten my movies to play at random from external files but the links that where coded into the random swf files no longer work. could there be an action script issue? The random swf files are as3 and the player file is as2????
View 1 RepliesI just recently tried getting the hand of understanding AS3 from AS3. I am finding it a bit of a struggle to try and understand using random.math.I am trying to use random.math to make each movieclip play randomly and then stop. I tried looking for online tutorials but I only seem to get information of creating a random math number which I don't want.I am not sure I am meant to use a timer or to use random.math function. The idea is to have say 4 movieclips start an animation randomly so when the user looks at the screen, a different movieclip will play.For my button I have put this code for them (photo_mc is my button):
Code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

How to build the flash presentation in AS3 by loading movie clips from library. I have 3 movie clips in library
mc_1, mc_2, mc_3
we have to play one by one.
I wanna play several swf files at the same time with the method loadclip in a movieclip object.However, I do not want that all the swf get their sound track played. I just want that one swf file get its sound played.Is there any way by mean of actionscript to get the rest of these movieclips with their swf videos to be quiet when their video is played?
View 1 RepliesOn my simple website, everytime i navigate to another page, the movie clip plays extremely fast and is out of sync with the sound.
View 1 RepliesHow do I play a series of frames sequentially... (each one has a movie clip on it), and I don't want the next frame to start until the nested movie clip has finished playing?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to trigger some events (fading of nearby movieclips) based on cue points of a currently playing FLV. I'm using the FLVPlayback component (not Netstream) and have added cue points from inside flash (so they're "Actionscript" type). I actually found a nice article here: [URL] but it's AS2. To put it simply, let's say I have the following:
1) FLVPlayback component which has a parameter called "movie.flv" for the clip that it's supposed to play.
2) The instance of the component is called "movie_inst".
3) There are 2 cue points added through the component's parameters rollout, one called "point1", another called "point2".
What's the simplest code to tell flash "when you get to point1 I want you to do ___"?
I have 4 MovieClips and they are in Array but i need to randomly fade-in them on stage within the boundaryes of stage. How to do that? I know i have to use Math.random
View 8 RepliesI have a library of about 70 movie clips of company logos that fade in and fade out...I wanted to make a sort of 'random slideshow' of all the move clips, so I went ahead and copied the actionscript code for a timer that would (ideally) delay the time that it takes for the next clip to load.
Problem is, the timer starts up first thing rather than after a clip has played, and the clips then play at the same time. The actionscript is on frame one of the Flash movie (there are about 70 clips, for the example I'm working on I'm just using 3 to start with):
stop();
function wait() {
for (i=25; i<=27 {
_root.attachMovie("my"+i+"_clip","new"+i+"clip", i);
clearInterval(myTimer);
i++;
}}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 4000);

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 just have some few questions about Buttons and MovieClips using AS3.
Intro and outro of a movieclips using buttons.
Like for example: I have two buttons named buttonOne and buttonTwo. When I click buttonOne, the movie clip named oneMc should play its intro and then stop then after that whenever I click buttonTwo, the movieclip oneMc should play outro animation and then movieclip twoMc intro comes in.
Do I need to use the Loader and URLRequest for this one? Also, how can I call the movieclip to play its outro and play the next movieclip's intro?
I am making a game where random letters and words are generated into movieclips, thats the background. I built it using arial as my font, however I then decided to go with a fixed width font to make sizing the movieclips to the words much more straightforward. Yesterday this worked fine, the font i am using (Liberation Mono) is installed on my computer, all the textboxes which use this font have the character embedding on them, and I have not changed any of the movieclips, only non-relevant code. So I run it up again today and none of the words appear. Thinking it might be some code changes I made I go thourhg tracing out everything, only to find the wrds are being generated, and written to the textbox absolutely fine. I switch back to Arial just as a check and bang it works again.
View 1 RepliesI have squares that make up the background on my stage. I would like to have the squares fade out one by one using code.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to animate several movieclips. I want them to randomly float around within a certain area of the stage. How would I go about this...do I need to look into Tween classes?
View 1 RepliesI have a main Movie and on certain frames I need to play a random MovieClip which contains a quiz/question...drag/drop...multiple choice..or whatever...so.I'm wondering out of the many ways my mind wants to do this...which would be the smartest.
1. Put all those MovieClips into a main Movie...and have the Array jumble up the frame number to jump to...when it's been used...take that frame number out of the pool...
2. Have just the Actionscript on that frame when you land on it in the Timeline...have the Array jumble up the external movies...and then pick one and load it on that frame...and then remove that choice out of the pool..
I have a question regarding the dynamic coloring of movieclips. I want to be able to specify a limited number of binhex values, and have those colors applied randomly to a movieclip.
I made a little diagram to show what I mean:
The original clip will be in simple black and white . . . but I'm looking for a way to apply those binhex values to the duplicated clips' color areas in random arrangements.
I can't seem to find any specific information on this anywhere.
