ActionScript 3.0 :: UiLoader Randomly Load Image From Array?
Oct 15, 2009
I'm would like to use the UILoader to randomly load an image from an array according to the day of the week. The attached FLA file is in AS2, it is exactly what I would like to do but now in AS3. I've been able to successfully trace the date using:
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());
In AS2 I used this the loadMovie function to randomly display SWF's in the movieClip. From what I can tell loadMovie is not an option in AS3 making me think that using the UILoader may be a good solution.This is what my code looks like in AS2 (also attached the FLA file):
loadShow = function() {
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());[code]....
my UILoader won't allways load its image.I named it "imagem".The source string comes from the buttonīs label.The click function loads simultaneously 3 UILoaders (imagem, imagem_prev and imagem_next and one caption (legenda) consisting of a simple string.Every now and then it doesnīt properly load the images.I have pasted the function for the click EventListener bellow.
function abrir_obra(e:MouseEvent):void{ var theContent:String = e.currentTarget.name var contentArray:Array = theContent.split("_"); index2=contentArray[2]; var alvo:String = e.target.text; var st:String=myArr1[1]; MovieClip(this.parent.parent).gotoAndPlay(31); imagem.visible=true; imagem_prev.visible=true; imagem_next.visible=true;[code].....
I found this code online. it is for a image gallery that fades in and out as it transition from one image to the next.. the images are load through an array command... it loads the first image, etc.... what I wanted to know is where should i put a Math.floor(Math.random()*this.pic_arr.length); in the string of code... to make the gallery start randomly in the array and then continue onto the next image... also, for some reason, there is not a common directory for all the images, like this script:
looking for a script that loads 6 logo image thumbs into a grid (randomly from folder), with each thumb having a rollover image and link.. Basically the logo area on this page : have about 30 client logos in greyscale ( and colour version for rollover), and need to randomly load 6 logos at a time (or random individually) on a timer. oN RollOver .. loads colour version of logo with link node in XML Something like...

on how to edit my FLA to get it to do this? / source out there you know of? ( My AS skills are not that hot compared with design skills)
Is it possible to control the alignment of images loaded into a UILoader ? My images are loaded in via XML. Most are are the size of the UILoader dimensions 960 x 482, but there are a handful which are portrait format and these are being aligned to the top left of the UILoader. I would like to center these instead.
I have this to load a random image from my array. But how can I keep track so that a new random pic wont be the same as one allready shown, until all pics in the array has been shown once?
In my photo gallery, I have an array of images that load sequentially using 'next' / 'prev' buttons. The code fades out the current swf, recognises when the new external swf has fully loaded, then fades in:
Is it possible to load an image (preferably jpg) from a binary array? The reason I ask is because I'm loading the images dynamically through SOAP webservices so I get a byte representation of the jpeg image. I can't run the loadMovie method to point to an image URL because it doesn't exist. Can it be loaded somehow using the bitmap classes?
I'll have to make a page that will stream out the jpg dynamically from the website, but I'd prefer to keep it all on the webservices end if possible.
do anyone know how to load in an UIloader purely with action script withoud dragging it onto the stage?I have try the following code but it just can not work.
I'm trying to load an external .swf using UILoader. If the .swf doesn't have any code, it loads fine. But if I add any code, even only comments. It gives me this error.[code]...
I have an app in Flash CS5 that I am creating for iOS. I am loading an external image to a frame with the UILoader. I would like to be albe to use the two finger zoom and single finger up/down/left/right movements on the image I loaded with the UILoader.
I am trying to add an alpha tween to my UILoader that is linked to a folder of images so that they fade between images when you click on the "next" or "prev" buttons, as well as a preloader status for each image as it loads in (although that is less important, as most connections load in the images fast enough, but perhaps a preloader for the initial image would be good)... Here is what I have, as of now everything is set up to work without a tween or preloader...
I am pulling double duty with this question as it serves two purposes. I am developing a total flash controlled ad system for myself, but also need to use the same theory for a project for work.
Concept: I have a main movie (ad rotator system) that I then want to randomly load other swf's (individual ads) into this main swf after a set period of time. The random load I got set no problem. The problem I am having is to get it to move to the new Frame label of the main movie which then loads the smaller swfs. I am using the LoadMovie with nInterval time delay command in flash to load the movies.
I would like my picture to fade in, how do I do it? I load my image like this: var imageFolder:String = "main_pictures/"; var imageArray:Array = [imageFolder + "picture.png"]; //Container var imagecontainer:Sprite = new Sprite(); //Loop through the image array and load: [Code] .....
I am loading dynamically a big image into a uiLoader component. And using the following lines:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followFrame); function followFrame(event:Event):void { var dx:int = myUILoader.x + mouseX; myUILoader.x -= dx / 10; var dx1:int = myUILoader.y + mouseY; myUILoader.y -= dx1 / 10;
I manage to make the image following the mouse just fine. But the image always off center, as the registration ponit of the uiLoader would be on the left size, even if I try to align it to the center of the stage by:
I've started with a new Flash file and wanted to toy around with loading images and resizing the UILoader to the size of the loaded image. I've added a UILoader (instance name: loadImage) component to the main timeline and added the following code in the Actions window:
The image displays properly after compiling and viewing the SWF. However, loadImage.content returns null, instead of the DisplayObject that contains the image. This way, trying to resize the UIloader according to the loaded image doesn't work, since I can't access variables of an object that hasn't been initialized.
All the documentation states that loadImage.content should contain the DisplayObject that's loaded after setting loadImage.source or using loadImage.load( new URLRequest( "bookmark.png" ) ) (which also has the same problem).
I have a typical logo on the right top corner and a menu bar just above it. Above the menu bar, I have a UIloader in which I load photoalbum.swf when one of the menu buttons is pressed. The problem is that setting the scaleContent property to true doesn't load my external swf.Setting it to false, everything appears as expected, except that the bottom part of my photo album is cut since the scaleContent property set to false (this makes the loaded swf file's size the same as the stage's and as the UIloader begins just above the menu, the bottom part gets cut off).
I am carrying an image object via UILoader. Use the method unload () to remove this image display. Whenyou remove this image of the disk the system claims that this imageis in use.P.s. This image has been loaded by the function load ().Question:Besides the method unload (), there is another procedure todelete all references to that image loaded?
I`m using AS3 + CS4, and have a problem. At the main page I have "loader" - UILoader, in which I want to load one of the 2 swfs - it depends of 2 buttons on stage

By default main_ru.swf is loaded, and after I press en_button I can see only a part of main_en.swf, and larger part of main_ru.swf. why?
I have a UI loader that loads images (arabic file names) from folder based on some user input. The images loads fine when i'm opening the SWF file, but when it's on an HTML page, the files' names are encoded some how and then not loaded. When I write the full path of an image in the browser's address bar, the image opens fine. Is there away I can keep the file names in arabic, and make them load when the swf object in an HTML page?
the code below loads only the second member of the "koan" array. why it isn't randomly loading swfs? (Could it be a problem with the "var index"?...when it is changed manually in the code from 0 to another number the swf played does change; but still not randomly.)
I have an issue where I would like to remove a sprite randomly in AS3, I have managed to figure out how to create the sprites so that they fill as a grid, just for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove them!Here's the code i've used to create them:
function showpixels() : void { for (var i:int = 0; i < 40; i++)
I am trying to write a function that is passed an array and will then reorder it randomly and return the array. My problem is that as the position is generated randomly I dont know how long the loop must run for, this function doesn't work but it should give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
[AS] function randomise(the_ar:Array):Array { var ret_ar:Array = new Array(); for (i=0; i<200; i++) {
How can I make my Array to return a randomly value? I want AirUnit to return a value between 1 and 3. I want LandUnit to return a value between 4 and 6. I want WaterUnit to return a value between 7 and 9.
is it possible to have an array of words, and then, with another set of code, to have those words randomly animating (perhaps from the distance, to closer up, like a zooming non-blurred effect) on the stage?
