View 2 RepliesI want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.
I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
im playing with the load random movie (but loading a random xml file instead) based on the wonderful tutorial from front page and was wondering whether anyone can show me the work around/upgrade to AS2 for this bit of script since im publishing to Flash 8 /AS2 and it doesnt work:

How I can make this script lo load mp3 files via an external xml file like music.xml and if is possible to load random
Code:
music = new Sound();

View 1 RepliesI have got my movie to load a random .swf initially no problem. But my problem is this:I have a button that will jump to a frame label in the external movie and play (makes the object in the animation dissapear, but the .swf is still on the stage) When I click a close button (mcClose) I want to unload the current .swf and load a different .swf to come back on the stage, not the same one I already made dissapear. Here is my code, the last bit is the part I know is not working, it keeps bringing back the exact same .swf that shows up when it loads.
PHP Code:
//
addrandom equipment at loadfilename = ["DumpTruck.swf", "frontEndLoader.swf"];path

I have this site that loads random pix from different folders (not xml). What I would like but can't seem to get to work, is for all the different images to be displayed before they are loaded again. If there for instance are 8 images in a folder I want those 8 images to be loaded still randomly before an image are loaded for the second time.
Heres the code I'm using:
var maxVal = 8;
var oldVar = 8;

Download file synchronously in it?I am really new to Flash. I have just read the tutorial "Loading a Random Background" I was hoping that this would help me be able to load SWF files, which in themselves are short movies, on the click of a button.
I have all the SWF files and the FLA file in the same folder as per the instructions, and labled likewise.
However when I try to play this movie, all I get is the main SWF movie, it doesn't want to load the other random movies.[code],...
I have a blank .swf that I want to randomly load several other .swf files. here's the script I am using, but i do not know why it is not working

r = a[random(a.length)];
loadMovie(r, 0);[/AS]
Im trying to load random from the library 10 mc's. Which is not a problem.
But once the loaded movie finishes playing would like to unload it and to load another random another movie and so on.
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");

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.
i am using this
filename = new Array("1_e.swf",
"2_e.swf", "3_e.swf", "4_e.swf", "5_e.swf", "6_e.swf", "7_e.swf", "8_e.swf",
"9_e.swf", "10_e.swf", "11_e.swf", "12_e.swf", "13_e.swf", "14_e.swf",

Is there a way that when the flash movie starts it loads into a random frame everytime. As well as a button that would do the same thing.
View 12 Repliesdo you know a tutorial on how to load different background images into the flash movie, so that they appear randomly (each time a different image, not in the same order). I would think to put the imgs into external swf and then load them into my main swf, but how do I get the random effect?
View 4 RepliesI'm using the following code below, and basically I've got 4 containers which all load a random image from a folder. The problem is there are often double ups with the containers. How can I adjust the code below to ensure each container loads an image that isn't already in any of the other containers?
PHP Code:
pic_arr = ["images/1", "images/2", "images/3", "images/4", "images/5", "images/6","images/7","images/8","images/9","images/10","images/11"];

I have a couple banners that randomly load everytime I play the SWF but I need
them to random load like every 3 seconds when the swf is playing
What do I have to add to my code to achieve that, here is what I have.
gotoAndPlay(Math.round(Math.random() * 5)+1);
I have this to load a random image from my array. But how can I keep track so that a new random pic wont be the same as one allready shown, until all pics in the array has been shown once?
View 1 RepliesHere's my end goal: I want to display commercials on a screen at my wife's bakery. The script should load one commercial, play it, then unload it, randomly load another, and so on. I am completely new to as3 and have unsuccessfully been following several online tutorials. My first attempt had code in each commercial file (swf), that randomly called up another commercial, which in turn called up another file, and so on--but this became a memory hog and crashed the program after a few minutes.
Since then I have created one main swf file that loads an xml file, which holds all the information for the commercials. However, when the swf commercials are loaded according to the xml file, they don't play properly: when the first commercial finishes playing, the next one is already partially done. Obviously it started playing earlier. The swfs should unload and load the next according to a timer, with the length of the timer being different for each swf according to the xml data.
Even with this, the first swf didn't always stop when it should. My code is getting complicated and the display looks sloppy. Would it be better to convert the swf to flv and create an flv player that has 'continuous play' and 'shuffle' features? Would it be better to convert each swf into movieclips and put them all into one swf? (I like the manageability of using an external xml file; I will be adding and removing commercials frequently and want to keep this as simple as possible.)
I'm looking to help a friend with his site and basically, I need a good tutorial on how I could create a character with a voice bubble that, when you click on a button, displays a random quote. Also, I know this might not be the right forum to ask this in, but would this be easier to do in Dreamweaver if I just place the item of the character and have it load up a random voice bubble image? If so, are there any good tutorials for that?

I am creating a web site for a kitchen company, there are differen images as headers on each page. But on one of the pages they want a flash animation to slideshow their kitchens. The animation is done, but they want it to start on a random kitchen. I have only started using actionscript and am struggling a bit, I've managed to find some coding, but they don't seem to work. What I'm looking for is a code to sit in the first frame to randomly select either frame 2, 12, 22 or 32 to go to and play on from there.
