I'm using Flash CS3. [URL]I have a series of external SWF's that load into a main SWF randomly, then dissapear and the next random SWF loads. It works fine for a while, but if you stay on the page for a couple minutes, then whatever the last random SWF was, starts to repeat, rather than another random SWF loading. I need the SWF's to randomly appear no matter how long someome stays on the page.
randomClips = new Array ("/Flash/ACDC.swf", "/Flash/Aerosmith.swf", "/Flash/Boston.swf", "/Flash/Doors.swf", "/Flash/Doobies.swf", "/Flash/Halen.swf", "/Flash/Journey.swf", "/Flash/LedZep1.swf", "/Flash/PinkFloyd1.swf", "/Flash/Skynard.swf", "/Flash/Stones.swf");
var mclListener:Object = new Object();

I'm trying to load a random swf from the same folder when the main swf is started. So basicly the main swf contains nothing, just the randomized code, and the content I'd like to show is in the same folder but being loaded random on startup.
I had a few things in mind but I'm still not sure how to cope with this. I was thinking having the URLRequest load a random number and that number would represent an array spot. And this array spot would contain the information about the external swf I would want to load. But the random would need a max because if the random would give a 20 if there are only 10 files, nothing would happen offcourse.
How do I load a external file and then display a random var (fact) from it?? this is what I got :-)

View 15 RepliesStructure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

i'm building a website using flash. i have a external swf file that i want to import into my website. i thought this would be an easy task but for some reason when i load the movie, it flickers. my website (parent swf) was build using 1.0. The external form swf was build using 3.0. My approach:
1.create an empty movie clip called mcForm
2.go to the mc clip page i want to pull the external movie into
3. within my actions layer, I call the following function loadMovie("main.swf", mcForm);
If i write:
LoadMovieNum("main.swf",0);
then the my main.swf opens correctly but closes the parent swf file. I wan the main.swf file to be embeded within the parent file.
I'm trying to load an external swf file into another with a loading that shows exactly the progression of the download. I tried to look at the loadClip and MovieClipLoader commands but I'm a newbie in AS, I don't really understand.
