IDE :: Flash Random Quotes / Text Tutorial

May 27, 2009

I'm helping w/ the website at our church and came across the "Flash Random Quotes" tutorial here on kirupa.com at:url..How can I do something like this, but I want the quotes to randomly display about every 10 seconds, as long as the page is open.I don't want to only have one, single random quote on page load.I'm tasked to have a random display of ongoing "testimonies" on our church website. Right now, I'm using jquery, but it's quirky (as you can see below), but the worst thing is, it isn't random - it loads the testimonies in order that they are listed in the sidebar.php file. So, everybody that visits reads the same few testimonies at the beginning, and doesn't see the other ones.I'd rather try and use Flash to pull random testimonies from the quotes file ... but I don't want it to only show one ... I want it to show a random testimony, then about 10 seconds later, show another random one, etc.

I though this would work but unfortunately I am not pulling the txt files into the field.
 
It is definitley giving me random feedback.
 
There are ten quotes in a folder: Suzuki_quotes/quote1.txt etc
 
Should I not use a Dynamic Text field and create a text field using the var.

stop();
var randomNumber:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*10); var reqB:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Suzuki_quotes/quote1.txt");var loaderB:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

ActionScript 1/2 :: Double Quotes Written As " In Text File?

Feb 24, 2011

I've written some code that takes user input and adds it to some other static text which is then sent to php to be written to a text file. The file is just plain text but has the .xml extension so it can be used as a source of data. Because of the XML content the text has to contain quotes so I am looking for ways to escape the double quote characters with " or using the alternative method of using a mixture of double and single quotes to differentiate content I want in the text file and the quotes that define the boundary of the text string. The code is working but the resultant XML looks wrong, with double quotes being written as " even though I used the double/single quote method, so I'm a bit baffled why this is happening. Here's my code:

[Code]...
 
All the double quotes are being written as " which is the escape character instead of the actual character - anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variation On The Random Quote Tutorial - Stuck

Apr 18, 2006

I followed the Random Quote Tutorial, pretty self explanatory really as all the tutorials are. is simple to have a whole bunch of words, load them randomly into a text box and then animate that text box randomly on the stage. So for example I'd have 'BLAH' loaded into a random area on the stage (or a specific set of coords if needs be) and then 'BLAH' would scale up from zero to fade out into _alpha=0 and a massive scale.

The problem I'm having is that whilst I can follow the random quote tutorial that relies on pressing a button to trigger the quote being loaded, thats my first problem. How to load the random word into this text box to then be displayed on the screen, do something with that text box (the animation) then loop back round once its finished. I'm assuming I get this by....if textbox._alpha = 0 then go back to the beginning type thing?!
