ActionScript 3.0 :: Randomizing Few Dynamically Loaded Swf Files
Dec 2, 2009
I'm a flash noob and I'm having trouble randomizing few dynamically loaded swf files.
1. I have a UILoader on the stage with an instance name of bg_ldr. It is working properly.
2. I have (attempted) to set up a function called getRandomNumber (see code below) and I believe it is correct.
3. BUT... specifically I don't know what I should put in this part of the code: bg_ldr.source = bgArray[?????]; and I think this area is the problem. I thought I could just call my function, like this:bg_ldr.source = bgArray[getRandomNumber];But it's not working.[code]

I am interested in designing a web-site with the primary purpose of displaying various poems and songs I've written over the years. The premise is simple: I need some actionscript which will detect the number and names of text files in a certain directory, and randomly pick one of them, then load it into a text field and format it with CSS. The user should simply have to reload their browser to get another randomly loaded poem. I've only taken one Flash class (very light on AS) and not at all knowledgeable on making 'universal AS' and usually hard-code everything. My apologies if something similar has been asked before..

I am trying to preload dynamic swf files from an asset folder into a blank movie clip within my main swf file. Some of the files are 2+ mb and need to preload.
I am dynamically importing the swf files from an external asset folder into a blank movHolder movie clip on the stage of my main movie. I have this working fine. I am having a hard time knowing where to place the preload script (in the asset swf or in the movHolder clip), and whether or not my script is accurate for this procedure.
Inside of the movieHolder clip, I placed the preload script script on frame 1:
totalBytes = Math.round(getBytesTotal() / 1024);
loadedBytes = Math.round(getBytesLoaded() / 1024);
percentDone = Math.round ((loadedBytes / tatalBytes) * 100);
framesloaded >=100) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}
On frame 15 I have a looping action that tells flash to gotoAndPlay(5); as it loads the asset to frame 100.
On frame 20 I have inserted the label "start".
Obviously my approach is flawed and does not control the dynamically loaded asset. I am assuming that the asset swf if loading on frame 1 and ignoring my code.

I have created a galley with dynamically loaded multiple swf files. Half of them contain animations running at 60fps. The other half are flash movies at 30fps. If I select the speed of my gallery file to be 30fps animations play slow. If speed of gallery file is 60fps flash movies play too fast. How can I override the speed of the individual .swf's so they all play evenly.
some AS3 script for each individual movie? i.e. animation speed (individual file) speed: 1/2?..

I'm about to start a project where there will be a Flash application where the visitor customizes a profile with externally loaded images and texts. Then the visitor needs to be able to download that profile as a dynamically created swf with all that external content baked into the swf.

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

I created a flash web site where I'm dynamically loading all the .swf files into one. I'm using Flash 8, Actionscript 2, Flash Player 8. The goal was to break up the file size of the project and load the .swf files via four buttons 'HOME' 'PEOPLE' 'RESEARCH' 'PUBLICATIONS' repectively. I was able to do this using the following code for the buttons.
button_name.onRelease = function () {
createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("people.swf", "container");

I am planning to do a CD-ROM in either Flash or Flex, possibly using the Adobe AIR runtime.This CD interactive will have a bunch of forms on it for the user to fill out. After they fill in a form, they will have the option of saving or printing a PDF that is based on there information.I am trying to find a way of editing the content of the PDF in Flash, so when the user fills out the form, the application will fill in the PDF with there details from the form fields. Is this is possible?It would be great if there was some way of having template PDFs (either on the CD as there own files, or in a Flash library), then flash could come along and fill in the specific fields inside the PDF.

I'm not quite sure how to describe the problem I'm having but I'll do my best. I have an image gallery built in AS3 that loads content via an XML file. Nothing mind blowing here... When testing locally on a static XML file, the gallery works as intended. The purpose of this gallery is to function within a CMS and load dynamically generated XML files to display the appropriate images/info for each particular gallery. All this functions fine, to an extent...

I have an xml flash slide show that works great but i would really like it to randomly select the images out of the xml so that every time it is seen it is showing a different cycle of images. I'm not by any means an ActionScript expert far from it actually, but i understand a bit of it (not enough to write my own code yet).here is the code im using:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....
Also I'm not using the text version of this were it gives a title of the image that is displayed but every time i think i have removed it correctly i screw the the whole thing up. right now i just have the title area in my xml blank which works but i guess its not the cleanest code right.

I used the tutorial for making a xml gallery and changed it up a bit to make a banner ad gallery from an xml file. This makes life easier for my non flash designers to just update the xml file when new ads come out. I would now like to make it randomly select the first image.The only idea I had was to change the p = 0; part to p = Math.floor(Math.random() * total); That didn't work.There is some additional code in there for a coldfusion click tracker and some to build the url string for the coldfusion page
// Load XML, define arrays, and initiate loading of first image
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

Basically, it loads and parses an external XML file. I have it set to just step through the file but I'd like it to randomly display the images referenced by the XML. The script works like this, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the XMl into an array and then have the function read it correctly. It seems to me that the call:
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
with p being changed somehow to a call to myArray should work, but it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
this creates the load XML function and counts the children to an array
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {[code]....
so the XML needs to loaded into the array somehow. Here's the array with a bunch of numbers instead of the XML info.
myArray=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
myArray.Shuffle();

I'm working on an image gallery in Flash that plays a slideshow of different images I have on my hard drive. I've got the basics of it working, but I'm still stuck on something. If my images are in the same folder as the Flash project file or a sub-folder of it, then it works fine. However, I can't figure out how to load images from some other folder. In my case, the Flash project is located at "~/Programming/Flash/Projects/slideshow/" and the images I want to load are at "~/Pictures/Gallery/". Using a normal path didn't work so I figured I could access them with a file:// path, but that doesn't work either gives me "Error #2035: URL Not Found"). Is there a specific way you have to format the file path in Flash, or is it just not possible?

I need to figure out how to utilize one SWF player/file to load different streaming F4V files dynamically.[code]...
Currently I am publishing a separate SWF player/file for each F4V, but this is unacceptable. I need to use one SWF file to load different F4V files. I'm not that knowledgeable in the ways of Flash, but I believe that the "src" attribute of the embed tag and the "name='movie'" attribute of the object's param tag needs to point to the SWF player/file. So does anybody know how I can manipulate the object and embed tags to make them load a different F4V file into the SWF player?

is there a way to have flash read swf from a directory dynamicaly. so if you add a new one it reads it and you could have a next and previouse button to dynamicly browse throught them.
this way you could just upload new swf and it would automaticaly add it to the set so when you hit next at the end it would read the new one.

I am trying to build a simple image scroller in a way that it creates 2 arrays from 2 xml attributes. I got that working, but what I want to do next is randomize the order of the images and while making sure it they retain their specific urls. Then I want the scroller to loop those images in that random order infintely.
So far here is ActionScript Code:
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
// change the values to alter the spacing and scroll speed
scrollSpeed = 1;
picSpacing = 0;
picWidth = 116;
