I would like to randomly move three movie clips, placed in an array, within a set box. The script below worked with used with one movie clip, but not with all in an array.
var clipSpeed:Number= 1;
var speedX:Number = 0
var speedY:Number = 0

I have a picture on the stage covered by 12 squares (sq1, sq2, sq3.......sq12)
When the movie opens I want the squares to move down, but i want a random sequence ( 3, 9, 2, 12...........8). I already made de function for the movement:

i am trying to create a swf file that contains 3 movie clips inside of it. i want the swf file to randomly choose one of those movies and play it.
i am on a mac with flash cs4.
I am trying to load 9 movies into a flash, I want them to be loaded randomly and to loop, right now I am using this script but it is playing them in a certain order. Is there a way they can be loaded randomly?
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var list:Object = new Object();
mcl.addListener(list);

I am now using the code for my background image which will rotate when you enter a new gallery.I can't get it to randomize.[code]I have tried adding: Math.floor(Math.random() * total); and it almost works. It seems everytime the last node is called it stops working (also at other random times, haven't found a pattern).
View 1 RepliesI recently completed the kirupa tutorial on the loading of a random movie, but after the loaded movie has finished playing I would like it to load another random movie and continue to do so.Being a newbie to flash 8 I was wondering if I could get some help with the actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI am in the process of creating a VS Card game in Flash. It is basically a game where you can choose either one card or another, each randomly pulled from one of the eight different sets. The first card (or swf) can be pulled from any of the 8 sets (out of a total of 12 cards in each set))..and will load into a targetMC, and the second must be pulled randomly from any of the 8 sets except from the folder where the first card was chosen and load onto the second targetMC.

I want to have one of several movies load in a random order when the site launches. Obviously when a viewer returns to my site, a different movie would initially load.
How do I randomly select 1 of 4 tell target movies? (Flash MX Actionscript)
View 1 RepliesI have a main movie with 2 empty movie clips on the stage. They have the instance names clip1 and clip2. I also have 10 swf files named movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, etc. I want to randomly load any 2 of these swf files into the 2 empty movie clips in the main movie. After the 2 swf files have been loaded, I want one of them to last 20 seconds, and then randomly load a new swf file to replace it. And the other one, after 30 seconds, will randomly load a new swf file to replace itself. And this cycle will go on & on...
I have the following actionscript:

Unfortunately, it isn't working. Is there an error with how I typed this? Or do I need to change something so it will work?
I basically want to load 2 swf files into 2 different targets, have one of them last 20 seconds & then randomly load a new swf, and have the other last 30 seconds & then randomly load a new swf. What is the correct actionscript to achieve this?
The random motion tutorial works just perfectly with one movieclip, but when I try to make a new movie clip and assign the same code to it, it really doesn't duplicate at all. The original movieclip has an instance name of dot so I created a new movieclip with instance name of dottwo.But for some reasob the following code doesn't duplicate the dottwo at all
i = 0;
while (i<25) {
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+i, i);

I 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 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
i know this code loads movies dynamically:

but how would you load movies that are already imported in the library???
I have a 1900 x 1240 .swf file that has a set of buttons on each side. Each button calls for and loads a single movie into a 900 x 600 area in the middle of the screen. I haven't had any trouble setting things up so that the .swf movies, including a converted QTVR file, all load into that 900 x 600 area. One of my buttons calls for a .swf movie that contains a zoom-in and rescale - the link for how this was created can be found at Flash Zoom In Movie Clip and Rescale. The stage for this file is set at 900 x 600. When this Zoom.swf is loaded up by pressing the button, it resizes itself to 1900 x 1240. As well as being annoying, this obliterates the view of all my buttons and interface. I just can't figure out how to make it sit in the middle of the screen at a size of 900 x 600.

1: this is my third attempt at mastering OO and flash CS5 so, i hope we can all have a laugh after.
2: In short.. I added a 64x64 tiled movie in flash. Read it out in an array, in a.. well original way(just to see if i could get it to work so stop lauging already), and tried to recreate them using a flash class.
2a: The recreate class works but shows the Tiles in a random order, every time a new one?! this is what happens..

I'm trying to create a spinner for different ads for an advertising company website. Each ad has a name, such as "out" "pie" and "bigger". All of them are turned off except "pie" to start off with:
Code:
//initialize movie
var itemArray:Array = new Array();itemArray[0] = out;
itemArray[1] = pie;
itemArray[2] = bigger;
[code]....
The thing is, I can' figure out the button script to cycle through this array. I want to click a forward and back button, lets use forward for now, and do something like (don't mind the syntax):
Code:
on (release) {
i+1, remember the spot, and make everything else invisible.
When you click again, you increment to the
next ad/instance name and so on.
}
What is the actual syntax for this?
I have my code in the root first frame. I would like to know is it posible to attach movie from the library to array, but tu have that array created in some movie clip so the path to the newly created instance would be _root.some_movie_clip.array[i].

Code:
for (i=0; i<11; i++){
displayed_icons[i] = attachMovie("my_library_mc"+i, "new_mc_"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());

is there anyway to put all movies that are attached with attachMovie in an array?
ex.
attachMovie ('ball','ball1',this.getNextHighestDepth())
then it will allso run a code that push the array with 'ball1' ? ?
but i have a problem i am triing to get a mc to move around the screen at random and bounce off the walls so it doesnt go off screen
View 1 RepliesI've got about 50 buttons onstage with names like btn1a_mc, btn2B_mc, etc. Each one loads an external swf (called "Monosem1Aslideshow.swf", where the "1A" corresponds to the button name.) into a movieclip holder called slideHolder_mc. I'm trying to use an array instead of writing code for each button. I'm using the following:
Code:
buttonNumber = ["1A", "2B", "3C", "4D", "1E", "2F", "3G"];
for(i=0; i<buttonNumber.length; i++){
var btnName:String = "btn"+[i]+"_mc";
