View 3 RepliesI am trying to have a random movie clip appear when the page is refreshed that houses the parent swf.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently using Flash CS4, and Actionscript 2.0 to make myself a website for my artwork. My entire website is being created in Flash (not using Dreamweaver, so keep that in mind.) My site is constructed so that Frame 1 is my Home page, Frame 2 is another page on the site, etc.On my Home page, I want a random image (of my artwork) to show up in the body of the site (there is an interface surrounding it), every time a viewer visits/refreshes the page. It sounds simple, but I've been struggling with this a lot because I keep coming across really complicated Actionscript.
I know there are two possible ways to do this. 1) The images can be drawn from the same folder as my .fla file is saved in...OR...I can attach Movieclips (of my artwork) from my Library, to a blank target Movieclip where they will load on the page. Here's an outline of the functions I want:
-Random selection of image/movieclip
-target destination (where imagery can load)
-(I'll have a total of about 3 images)
I have flash site and client wants random fullscreen background image to load on refresh. sounds easy right ?. but i've tried a lot of components and code snippets but it's causing headaches as nothing seems to work. i have a client squirming because it isn't done.
I did purchase a component from flashden (randombgholder) which does exactly what i want, but it seems to clash with the flashloaded fCMS system i have working in place, and somehow knocks it out, but that could be my bad amateur flash coding causing it. And when i go to center the swf over the background using his code he provided it goes haywire. perhaps i could do a random fullscreen background image on page refresh in html?? i tried some css ones, but nothing works probably because i'm very new to flash and the likes.
I have let's say 6 frames now, but will be adding more and want a different frame to load each time the browser is refreshed, randomly. I've done this in AS2, but need code for AS3.

View 2 RepliesI'm using the dynamic text scroller from [URL] found at [URL] Here's a link to my zipped files too... [URL]
1) I can't figure out how to have URL links in the text that loads.
2) How can I make the scroller refresh to allow for new text in the dynamic text area. The content changes alright, but the scroller stays in the same position and if it wasn't needed initially, the scroller disappears and doesn't return on new text.
I had an issue with my index.html testing on IE and the preloader just stalls on "loading 0%". he told me that locally the progress event doesn't have time to load and to try uploading it to your server and see if it works. It worked just fine. Rah Rah Kglad.
So today I'm fine tuning the swf/ fla to clean it up. Reduced some picture sizes and deleted unused files and reduced the swf from 4000 KB to 350 KB Rah Rah Gene. replaced the swf in Dreamweaver and re-uploaded with Filezilla. Rah ah Filezilla.
Everything working great and my preload went from 23 seconds to less than 3. So I'm real happy except for one small issue. Firefox and IE both do this. If I hit the refresh button, it stalls on "loading 0%" once again just like it did locally.
If I hit the refresh several times it WILL refresh randomly....2 times refresh......10 times refresh etc.

Spoke to my hosting company who said everything seems fine on the server. BTW he said Chrome did NOT have this issue Rah Rah Chrome.
I created a textfield but it refuses to update its text. When I trace the new desired text that is successfully displayed in the debugger but not on stage! This is my original [code]...
View 4 RepliesI'm currently using a scrollbar that I got here at Kirupa. I have my site set up with with 6 different navigation buttons, each button should load a new text file. To do this, I have a movie-clip with 6 frames in it. Each frame has this scrollbar on it and will load the correct text file depending on which button you click in the navigation. Everything works fine, except the scrollbar won't refresh itself for each different text file that loads. The scrollbar loads when the site loads, and then stays the same every time a new text file is loaded.
how to make the scrollbar refresh each time a new text file is loaded? I've attached my FLA in a zip file. Here is the scrollbar I used from Kirupa: [URL] Also, here is a test version of the site: http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose2/index2.html And here is the actionscript used for the scrollbars:

I created a flash that's loading dynamic text from an external txt file. It's ON AIR flash that you can see on top right on [URL]
Now the thing is that I WANT THIS TXT CONTENT TO REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY... because I am actually loading txt file that's getting updated every few minutes, but flash content does not update, so the visitor must refresh page on go to some other page so the content will change again.
How do I make this work so that dynamic text in flash change whenever external txt file content change, without refreshing or changing the page.

I am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.
View 16 RepliesI'm using the following script to load a random quote from a text file:
ranQuote = new LoadVars();
ranQuote.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*25);
ran = this["quote"+RanNum];
quote_txt.text = ran;[code]..........
quote_txt.text = "The text failed to load due to an error";[ode]........
Is there a line or two that I can add to this that would prevent it from choosing the previously pick number again?I mean it can use it again, just not twice in a row.
I have been making a memory game, where words are shown to the user. Once they have memorised the words they go to the next screen where the words that they have memorised are shown. They then have to drag each word into a "correct" place and a "wrong" place. I now want to edit it so that I can use two arrays one for correct words and one for wrong words. I want to generate random words from each of these arrays. I have sort of worked out how this is possible to do but using dynamic text, but am I correct in thinking that the whole dragging the words thing is not possible with dynamic text. (I may be wrong though, I am quite new to flash).
View 2 RepliesWhen a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

View 6 RepliesI want to make a random name selector for choosing pupils in class. The below works, but I was wondering if there was a way that I could set it up so that I could just copy and paste a list of names to the text file, ie have the " &name2 =" in the actionscript or in a different file. It would be so much quicker and useable for non IT staff.This is what I have:
Action script:
loadVariablesNum("names.txt", 0);
count = Number(random(numvars)) + 1;

All over this website you'll know the effect I'm talking about, even on the YES or NO button in the beginning.
I have this RSS feed, which is being displayed in various text boxes on my stage, But in the box that displays the child - description, I am getting random numbers and letters.. And I don't know how to remove it from the text.
Here is my code:
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
var urlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onXMLFileLoaded);
urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onIOError);
[Code] .....
how would i go about choosing one of the following at random?
ActionScript Code:
var example1:String = "hello";
var example2:String = "how are you";
