I am trying to make what I thought would be a very simple random picture display. I have five movie clips named myClip1, myClip2, etc. All are on the first frame of the timeline. Each has this as a movie clip action:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
_alpha = 0;
}
The frame also has an action like this:
Code:
nClipMax = 5;
// nClipMax being the number of movie clips
this["myClip" + Math.ceil(Math.random()*nClipMax)]._alpha = 100;
When I test this the background (an image) displays but nothing else, the movie clips stay transparent. I have tried several variations without any luck.I am mainly an asp and net developer that uses flash periodically so be gentle.
i think i may have a challenge for you. I would like to have a flash movie load to a random keyframe in a timeline when the page loads. Basically, i'd like to set up a timeline with say 10 movies. When the page loads, i'd like the flash to randomly select from some predetermined keyframes (obviously where each movie starts) and when that movie ends, jump to another section of the timeline. This way, the loading of the movies is somewhat seamless and it looks like i've made 10 different flash movies.
Even if it's not possible to all load from the same timeline, i'd like to have it play the first movie, then when it reaches an ending frame, it loads another random movie from a directory on the server, and then keeps going and going until it can't stand it anymore.
I have a horizontal menu bar across the bottom of a site I manage, and I would like to load it as the Moive content loads. I have made the menu bar into it's own movie clip, but I cannot work out the code to relate the Menu bar movieclip to the parent movie clip.[url]...
So when you load a picture into a movie clip, it loads into the Top-Left hand corner.I really want it to load into the Top-Right hand corner. Is there a way?I am loading it via AS - not placing it manually, as I have a variety of images which are of different dimensions....
I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.
I have a html page that has a link, which links to another html page with a flash file on. What i need is when this flash page is accessed i need a new movie to load, which would usually load from the navigation when someone clicks on a button.Is there anyway to link to a page which then loads a new movie into the main movie. can this be done???
I have a .fla that has a preloader on frame one and the rest of the file on frames 2 thru 55. The preloader code is the one that comes in Flash cs5's sample files. there is a movie clip with the instance name lbar and text with the name lpc. here is the code
stop(); import flash.display.*; this.stop
[code]...
It works fine the first time people are on my site but when the page is refreshed or is gone back to sometimes the loader bar is just stuck and doesnt load.
I have a main.swf file. In first frame i load a background slideshow with this code:

My problem is that when the site loads the 1st time and click from the menu to go to the 2nd frame (1st content page) then i have to wait at about 3-4 seconds to load my html content. The same for the 3rd frame. If these two content pages load for the 1st time, then the pages open immediately. What can i do for this? Is there a way to open this content pages more quickly, or place a loader, and with what code?
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 have made a Flash image gallery that is working just fine. I'm preloading the thumbnails and loading the main images only when these are clicked for display, in order to save load time. The problem comes when the user configures say 100 images to be shown in the gallery. In this case the page containing the gallery freezes until all the thumbnails are loaded. My question would be: is there any solution to load the rest of the page first? Or load everything in parallel assigning the page content a higher priority?
I am creating a Movie Clip player interface. You can click on a thumbnail and load an external SWF. At the end of that movie clip, I would like to load another SWF, it's just a logo animation filler that plays until the next thumbnail is clicked.
I am using this script:var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/movie00.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
But it loads the new movie right on top of the old one.How do I get it unload the first one?
I am trying to have a random movie clip play as soon as my site loads, and when that one is done, I would like it to randomly choose another.I have 6 movie clips, I figure I will have to have the random script on frame 1 of my time line, and then I can just modify it to select another one on the last frame of each movie clip. However, I don't even know how to begin scripting this to happen. I have looked through these forums, and it seems like there are a lot of posts about this, but very few answers. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?I am using AS2.
How Do I Play A Movie Clip Randomly. What is the code for it Its For [URL] One of the tutorials Is to Create random Numbers But you dont acctually see the random numbers How Would i Put a Input box Or something FOr THe Random Numbers To Appear In.
I have this movie clip that's a solid color with 60% transparency. I have 24 copies of this, all with instance names of light_mc1, light_mc2 and so on. What I'm trying to do is have them transition their colors not only randomly and constantly, but in unison. The transition has to be smooth, it can't just instantly show red in one frame, then green in the next. I have to be able to see it smoothly change to green, or whichever color is randomly selected.
my aim is to get the movie clip (bar shapes) to move up and down randomly over time. this is the actionscript ive done so far. by the way im using flash 8 so i beleive that its actionscript 2.
I am designing a website and have for locations I would like to load a random image from the same folder. Goals we'd like to accomplish with this:
1. We want images to load randomly from same folder 2. We don't want any duplicate images on the page at any one time 3. We have different size movie clips they are loading into.
Is there a way to accomplish this? What script do I use to resize the .jpg to fit whatever movieclip it's loading into and how to I tell it not to load an image that is already loaded in another movieclip?
I am using the load random movie script: [URL] with no problems. I would like to add some functionality to it though. How would I make it so once the movie loaded plays, it will play another movie from the array, but picked randomly as well?
I have a Movie Clip which consists of a text-box with some text in it.I am trying to tween this movie clip so it either moves randomly throughout the animation or have the movie clip bounce off the edges similar to a standard screen saver you might see. While slowly changing it's text through many different font families Is it possible to have a movie clip tween randomly through an animation and is it possible to change the text to many different families in a slow transition.
I want to implement having a movie clip randomly change color.How can I make my movie clip randomly switch colors with a push of a button??By the way I'm using flash MX and I am still intermediate when it comes to coding.
Like the description says. I have six buttons, I want it so when you click any of them the movie clip plays once then when it is finished a specific url loads.
I am making a Flash portfolio for a college class. I am trying to make it when I click on a button, it will load an external .swf. When I click on another button, it will replace the previous .swf.I have it working, but the code is sloppy, .Also, within cleaning up the code, is there a better way to load the first external .swf when the main movie loads?
Code: // FULL MENU ACTIONSCRIPT // import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.*;[code].........
[URL] Above is a link to view the project I'm working on. Once the site loads if you go to the "Contact Us" page the content doesn't load correctly. I'm using an extrnal .xml and .css files for the content. I'm also embedding the fonts dynamicly. If I test the file locally on my computer is works fine the image loads as it's supposed to and content looks correct. However when I post the files to the server (which work exactly the same way) I get the white box when you can see from the link above. I'm at a complete loss as to how to to fix this.
I am trying to create a movie clip that loops and on each loop it loads a random little .jpg banner from a directory. The banners are named 0.jpg, 1.jpg and so on, a script on the first frame of the loop saying
"bannernumber" is a variable from an external text file specifying how many random numbers to cycle through (how many banners), This works just fine and loads up a new banner after each loop cycle. The problem lies in trying to make each banner go to its own url, I have another external text document with variables "click0=url, click1=url etc" where I want the number in each variable to equal the randomnumber variable in flash, then use an on(release){getURL(urlvariable)} function to have it retrieve the url that is somehow in the url variable. Basically, how would I make the urlvariable be equal to the "click0" variable to get the url of the click0 variable into the getURL function? while having the number in the "click0" variable be equal to the randomnum variable?
I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.
I'm currently working on a site where the background pictures (wallpapers) loads randomly with xlm.Loading of the pictures working properly until I try to put the AS: (stageResize/stageListener) it doesn't load.I have tried numerous things but it's still not working. I've used the following script:
