it has been awhile since I've monkeyed with Flash and it seems things have been moved around since then.any chance someone could post a simple action script to add to a button that will upon release randomly send to either frame 53 or frame 69 of my little CS4 project.
View 5 RepliesI have this script assigned to a button.
homebutton.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "home.swf") {
_root.section = "home.swf";[code]....
I'd like the "home.swf" to be a random clip chosen out of three .swf's. Is there a way to expand this script to include a random choice script?
i simply want the button to random between frame 2-53! not 1-53..can u make it work : )here is my code:

I'm trying to run a sqlite query in flex to count the total number of records I believe its working fine but I just can't figure out how to display the results - all I get back is [object Object].
private function overviewOne():void{
var stmt:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stmt.sqlConnection = sqlConn;
stmt.text = "SELECT COUNT(user_id) FROM tbl_user WHERE status_status ='Away'";
[code]....
So how do I make a reference to the COUNT(user_id)?
(flash.data::SQLResult)#0
complete = true
data = (Array)#1

I have been reading this page about passing a query string to a flash file and I have it all set up using Javascript.URL...My next question that the page doesnt seem to cover is how do you then get flash to manipulate the data from the query string?So say I pass example.swf?testtype=1, I want flash to grab the value of testtype.

View 1 RepliesI'm using a Coldfusion Dreamweaver template with cfinclude tags. The header contains a flash movie where I'd like to pass 2 variables via a query string to load the correct image and menu button based on the variables in the ActionScript.
Example: <param name="movie" value="flash/header_v8.swf?pic=1&button=1" />
pic variable can be 1 - 3 and button variable can be 1 - 7 depending on the each pages body element id. So the logic would be something like this for my flash movie:
if body id =home, then pic=1 and button=1
if body id =about, then pic=current variable and button=2
if body id =page3, then pic=1 variable and button=3
[Code].....
What's the best way to pass these variables depending on the current page body element id?

So i have a website, made in AS2. its very simple- the only AS on the whole site is a few stop commands. and some
" on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this.gotoAndPlay("1100");
//End Behavior
}"
commands.. now i have some buttons that all have the above script on them,the only difference being the "1100" number. they all work fine except 1 of them. If you go to the site and click on this problem button it will go to where you tell it , but if you go to this site and click on any other button first and THEN the problem button it will go to a random frame. it usually has about 10 particular frames it goes to but they are never in any order. The real kicker ... is that it will only do this once, after the button has taken you to the correct frame once it will keep taking you to the correct frame, until you refresh the page.
I am currently putting together a simple game where people have to pass my tests to join a club. At the end I would like them to be given a unique name. I imagine this could be done if I make 3 lists of 50 words, and right a piece of code that randomly selects one word from each list to create a unique combination almost every time. I am using actionscript 2 because I am fairly novice and this is about as complicated as my code is going to be, but is this to bigger job for action script 2?

Is there a snippet of code I can use to put on a button in Flash where when clicked, it could link to a random new page? For example, lets say I put all possible random pages into a folder, can I link a button on my main flash page it so that any one of the .htm files in that folder could open at random? I'm using AS2 scripting.

View 1 RepliesI've done is a few days of tutorials and stuff on the Internet. I'm knocking together a prototype for a University project. I have a radio button list, and once a button is selected and submit is pressed it takes the user to a certain frame. Each radio button represents a different condition, and for the distance condition I want it to take the user to one of two frames; one which shows the animation close up, and one which shows it far away. Before I attempted to have this button selection send the user to one of two frames, I had it working just sending them to the one. This is the code that I used:

generate random text with the click of a button. I have followed the kirupa.com tutorial for 'loading random quotes' but I am still getting a few undesirables. Firstly, I am generating an 'undefined' result occasionally. (Even with the example text from the tutorial). I have 5 quotes as per the example, but still get undefined as a result from time to time. Also, how would I go about altering the code so the same quote wasn't generated immediately after itself?

View 5 Replieshow to make a pre-made sentence appear when a button is clicked? Can this be done with AS2? I need a button that when clicked will display a sentence at random.
The way I have it in mind is to make a movie clip with say 10 different sentences on 10 different frames marked with labels (Sentence1, Sentence2, etc.) and each time the button is clicked, it will pick a random frame label thereby displaying the sentence on that frame. I just need to know the actionscript to link to the button.
I'm trying to build a "product spotlight" area on my site's homepage. There are a lot of products, so I want to display them randomly, and I want to specify an image, link and text in the XML file.
I've started by using the XML gallery on kirupa.com, but that didn't quite do what I wanted. I found a little workaround when I found a random XML image loader on another site, and used that.. all it would load was an image, so to make the product photos be links and have special text I made each photo a .swf instead of .jpg file and added a button link over the whole image. This way works, but we are adding more and more products and it's becoming cumbersome. There will be about 50 different products randomly changing.
It would be perfect if we could just set up the xml like
<list> <product> <image>whatever.com/product1.jpg</image> <url>whatever.com/product.2htm</url> <title>Buy this now for $3.50</title> </product> <product> <image>whatever.com/product2.jpg</image> <url>whatever.com/product2.htm</url> <title>Buy this now for $4.50</title> </product></list>
And then the flash file would have the link on the top layer and pull the url from the xml file, bottom layer would load in the image, and in the middle we'd have the title, maybe I'd have it slide in with a basic tween or something like that. And then, there could be like 50 different images listed in the xml, and it would display one randomly for like 10 seconds, then fade into a new one, and just keep swapping it out forever and ever. I really want to do it this way because I can update the text or images without having to build a new .swf file every time something changes.I know how to do some regular basic flash stuff, but I never got into the hardcore actionscripting, so I'm kinda stumped. Anyone know how I can pull something like this off or know of freeware example that I can use and build off of?
