Is there an "easy" way to set up a flash file so where when a person visits the website image "A" will show up, if they leave and come back, a different image is dispalyed, or a different image is dispalyed if they hit "refresh" on their browser?

View 8 RepliesI have a simple list and a background refresh protocol.When the list is scrolled down, the refresh scrolls it back to the top. I want to stop this.I have tried catching the COLLECTION_CHANGE event and validateNow(); // try to get the component to reset to the new datalist.ensureIndexIsVisible(previousIndex); // actually, I search for the previous data id in the IList, but that's not importantThis fails because the list resets itself after the change).I hate to use a Timer, ENTER_FRAME, or callLater(), but I cannot seem to figure out a way.The only other alternatives I can see is sub-classing the List so it can catch the dataProviderChanged event the DataGroup in the skin is throwing.

I'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)

View 1 RepliesI need to reproduce these java screens in AS:

It's basically a PNG that gets refreshed once a second.
I need to reproduce 3 such screens in flash. The code below works, but the refresh (loadClip) blanks out the previous image before loading the new one, creating a blinking effect.
Is there a way around that? can I refresh the movieclips smoothly, like it was a video?
ActionScript Code:
// ========= screen updater =====================
screen1_url = "http://cs-ccr-www2.cern.ch/vistar_capture/lhc1.png";

The movie loads in an external image and refreshes it every second. What happens, though, is the previous image seems to stay in memory. Eventually the browser will hang, because the memory footprint of the flash movie is so large. Even while testing outside the browser, I can see the memory increase by a couple hundred KB every second. You can see it at [URL]
The code I'm using is below (don't make fun, I don't claim to be a programmer).
Code:
function refresh_url(event:TimerEvent){
var url:String = "http://www.live-photo.com/asheville-east.jpg?ID="+getTimer();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

I want to load a image lets say example [URL] I can get the image to load no problem in flash. I also have a timeline so it will go to 10 frames and start over. My problem is it keeps loading the old image.png file untill I refresh my browser. Is there a way every time Uiloader is displayed in flash it dosnt like cache the image without refreshing the page.
View 1 RepliesI 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 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.

View 5 RepliesI have an incredibly simple task:
I want to build an image gallery, but not the stupid way, with a bunch of sprites on stage with visibility toggled on rollover.
Instead, I want my image slot on stage to be repopulated with the corresponding image when its thumbnail is rolled over.[code]...
I would really like to know how I would go about changing the image of a symbol or swapping the symbol until the key is up.

Currently, it opens to the first image in the set. I think it would be better if it opened to the first page of the thumbnail browser instead, to let people that are clicking on it know that there are more images in the set than just the one. Otherwise, they would have to know to click on the little "additional guides" icon in the lower right corner.

New to this forum, and I don't know if the question belong here or in the newbie forum. I am new to AS and not very experienced in flash. I have made simple apps without AS. Like fx. this slideshow. I put one image on each fram and just loops thought them. I reckon this kan be done in only one frame and some AS.
My idea is to put all the names of the imported images in an array and just loop through that. But what is the code for loading an imported image when clicking on a button and how do I loop through the array?
