Default Random Starting Frame Everytime The Video Is Loaded
Im looking to for my flash video to start at a random keyframe everytime the video is loaded.
I have about 20 layers with images transitioning into each other.

- Random Image, Everytime Movie Is Loaded -
I have A Flash Movie that will be uploaded onto the web.
I am trying to write a script where everytime a user comes onto the site, they are given a different background image.
The way I figured it will work is Something like this:-
* There are 5 hidden background jpeg images numbered 1 to 5
* When frame 1 is entered, a random function will call a number
between 1 and 5
* The jpeg image corresponing to that image will be showed.
Does anybody have any knowledge of this and advise me on the scripting?

Random Starting Frame
I have a simple Flash movie with a series of still pics fading from one to the next. I want to use it in a web page masthead and I would like the movie to start on a random frame. Is there some simple AS3 code I could use in the first frame that directs the movie to immediately jump to a random starting point within the 220 frames contained in the movie? Help for a newbie would be much appreciated.

Random MC's Everytime SWF Is Played
Word to ya motha's
I have a 'snail racing' game where there is ONE user controlled MC and the other THREE MC's are running on there own timeline.
But the thing is i dont want the other 3 'opponant' MC's to be the same all the time because when a user comes back they will realise that there are only 3 mc's that always play the same.
How do i make the movie load random MC's everytime i load the SWF? (so that the competition is a little different)
Thankyou for the help in advance

"Random" Starting Frame?
I'm not sure on how to describe this error, but here goes.
On frame 1 in the actionscript in my flash app, there is a gotoAndPlay(6) (after some other code). Currently, this works fine, effectively starting out the app on frame 6, thus with a highlight on the middle icon (link to the app below).
However, when I change some attributes to the app, the starting frame changes seemingly at random. I add a dynamic textbox, the starting frame changes. I change the textbox to static, it changes back. I replace the background image, it changes to another starting frame. Very frustrating.
Another strange thing is that the playhead seems to be somewhat unsure as to where it really is. When the graphic at one point started on frame 5, I put a trace text on frame 6 along with a trace printing the _currentframe. The trace comes out indicating that _currentframe is indeed 5, even though this code only exists on frame 6! Crazy.
Here's a link to the .fla:
http://www.randomitem.com/Exjobb/SWF/forwebtest.fla
I'm very grateful for any input at all on this, as it's becoming a big problem. Guesses are fine too, if you don't have the time to check out the code :)
Thanks!

[F8] Things Get Reset Everytime I Go Back Into A Frame
I have two frames: in the first one is an mc that is a holder for a dynamic animation. The second frame has other stuff. The problem is that whenever I go from the second frame back to the first frame, the animation gets reset. I want it to start once, and just keep going from there on.
Here's the code within the holder mc:
Code:
for(i=0; i<8; i++) {
mc = this.attachMovie(type, 'MC'+i,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if( this._x < -175 ) {
this.remove();
numClips--;
}
this._x -= speed;
};
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if( numClips < 8 ) {
mc = this.attachMovie(type, 'MC'+rem,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if( this._x < -175 ) {
this.remove();
}
this._x -= speed;
};
numClips++;
}
}

Detecting From A Parent When A Loaded Video Hits It Last Frame
Hello all.
Here is my scenario. I have a base movie that has some play controls and stuff that all works fine. I also have a empty movie clip object that I load swf files into on the fly that just play straight. What I am trying to do is detect from my parent movie when the child hits its last frame so I can unload it and load another. any ideas about how to go about this to steer me in the right direction? Oh I thought I should mention that I am not creating the child swf's, they are being deleiverd to me and the only script they contain is a stop in the last frame of the movie.
Thanks alot,
Mike

Random Starting Of Easing Eq.'s
Hi all, am curious how to go about randomly starting dynamic scripted tweens. I have a fla with a bunch of bees in it and they need to move randomly at different times.
I have the following on each bee instance::
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
start = this._x;
change = 615;//this is variable
duration =150;//this is variable
t = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
t++;
if (t <= duration) this._x = Math.easeInOutQuad(t, start, change, duration);
}
And all the bees are on the main timeline.... So how can I randomly start them? I am assuming some sort of setInterval method?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Many Tnx!

Random Starting Movie Clip
Hi everyone, I guess this is a newbie question, not sure about that...so here's my little problem:
I have got this movie clip in my flash movie that is to start at random times over and over again, actually it's a bubble animation, bubbles running up the movie. To make it look more "natural" the movie clip of each bubble should start playing at random times.
My problem ist that I don't know too much actionscripting except the usual "on mouse - play - stop" :-/
So if anybody could help me out on how to create randomizers and using them to start movie clips I would be glad, I've been browsing the tutorials-section for hours but didn't find anything equivalent.
Thanks in advance, folks

[F8] How To Create A Random Starting Point?
I have several move clips that I have set up in one flash file so when the first clip is done it goes into the second one. However, I want it to randomly start at the beginning of any one of my clips, meaning that it starts at frame 300 and next time refreshed/loaded it starts as 850 and next time 1? Does that make sense? Any input would be great!!

[CS3] [F8] Repeatedly Starting A MC At A Random Time
Hi there,
I have a test website at www.designamite.ch/flash/ if you press the section "Buch" you'll see a book floating down and some fingers which appear. I made the fingers tap through a gotoAndPlay action on the last frame which directs to the fourth frame. So it skips the part were the fingers slide in.
I've been given this AS
Code:
var rand = Math.floor(Math.random() *20 ) +1;
rand *= 1000;
intervalID = setInterval(runn, rand);
function runn() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("con",1);
_root.con.loadMovie("tapping.swf");
}
sadly I don't know where to put the AS to make it work. Should it be on the main timeline, on the MC itself, or somewhere completely different?
Once the fingers have slided onto the book, the tapping should be at a random pace.
If you wanna have a look at the fla, it's at www.designamite.ch/flash/spheres.fla
Thx

Specify A Starting Frame?
Greetings,
Is it possible to specify a starting frame for a flash movie in the OBJECT or EMBED tags?
The situation that I am specifically referring to is a site where I have two different flash movies playing in two different frames. One movie is a navigation bar with a few submenus. The other movie is a map that is in the main frame of the site. I want the map movie to be able to load or control the other movie. I figured the easiest way would be to specify the starting frame on the navigation movie when it loads. I have been experimenting with passing variables to the movie and then using an IF/ELSE logic tree to simply gotoandplay() the frame that I want, but the logic doesn't seem to be working.
Is there a way to just send a starting frame number in the OBJECT or EMBED tag? If so, I can do all my logic with PHP and just send the correct tag to load the movie at the frame I want.
Any help is appreciated,
-Pete

Starting Up Loaded Swfs

I've got a swf which loads variables from a database when it starts. I wanted to embed it in another swf with the loadMovie action.
The embedded swf is coming up okay in the outer swf, but it's not performing any of the first frame load actions.
Any ideas how I start it running? This is my first attempt at embedding swfs within swfs so I'm probably missing something obvious.

Video Starting At Specific Time?
I'm working on a teaching site and don't have any previous experience with Flash, so I was hoping someone could help me with 2 questions:
1) Is it possible to start a video at a specific time?
2) Is it possible to start a video mid-way through the movie?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Say we want to play a 15 minute video and we want it start at 2:00pm. If someone goes to the website at 2:00pm, they'll get to see all 15 minutes of the video. If someone goes to the website at 2:05pm, the video will start at the 5-minute mark and they'll only get to see the final 10 minutes of the video.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Starting Movie On Last Frame
This seems like it should be easy, but because I don't know what I'm doing, it's not. :>
Here's the situation. When a visitor goes to index.html at my site, a Flash movie with preloader plays. At Frame 99, a script launches another page (welcome.htm) in the same browser window. On this page, and every other page in my site, the last frame of the movie (101) is the navigation menu. So I don't want the entire movie to play on these pages. I want it to start on Frame 101.
Here's the action script:
Frame 99: getURL ("welcome.htm");
Frame 100: Flag = "2";
gotoAndPlay (101);
Frame 101: stop ();
Here's my HTML:
index.html:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="pieceofeight.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=medium> <PARAM NAME=salign VALUE=T> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="pieceofeight.swf" loop=false menu=false quality=medium salign=T wmode=transparent bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=755 HEIGHT=231 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
welcome.htm
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="pieceofeight.swf?flag=2"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=autohigh> <PARAM NAME=salign VALUE=T> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="pieceofeight.swf?flag=2" loop=false menu=false quality=autohigh salign=T wmode=transparent bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=755 HEIGHT=231 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
Instead of starting the movie at Flag 2 (Frame 100), the movie is starting at the preloader when welcome.htm is launched.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Starting A Movie At A Particular Frame.
I am making a website that contains various works of art. I want it to work like this: When the user clicks on a button (paintings, for example) I want thunbnails of those paintings to appear. Then, when a thumbnail is clicked, a popup window will appear with closeup versions of the thumbnails. In that popup movie are "next" and "previous" buttons so the user can scroll through all the paintings.
My question is this: How do I get the popup movie to start on the frame that corresponds to the thumbnail that was clicked? For example, if thumbnail #6 is clicked, and the closeup version of that painting is located at frame #20 in the popup movie, how do I get the popup to start there? Is it something in conjunction with the "get URL" action?
ALSO, how can I make the popup window close by clicking a "close window" button?

[MX] Starting A Movie On A Different Frame
I've made a movie -- called "pix.swf" -- with about twenty images which dissolve every few seconds, and loops continuously.
This same movie will play on differrent sub-pages of a website, but I would like it to start on a different image for each different page it plays on. So I've made 12 little "loader" subfiles, each of which contains a variation on the following code:
_global.movieVar = 1;
loadMovieNum("pix.swf", 0);(That's for loader1; loader2 creates variable 2, loader3 creates variable 3, etc.)
Then on my main "pix" movie, I've got this in the first frame:
if (movieVar == 1) {
gotoAndPlay(60);
}
if (movieVar == 2) {
gotoAndPlay(111);
}
if (movieVar == 3) {
gotoAndPlay(160);
}
if (movieVar == 4) {
gotoAndPlay(210);
}
etc. So my plan was for each subpage to have a "loaderX.swf" which would open pix.swf on the specified frame.
This worked great when I created a sort of prototype, using different colored shapes. But when I then copied the code into the Flash that contained the jpg images, it didn't work. Whether I play loader1 or loader9, it always starts at frame 1 of "pix.swf"
Why does this work with shapes but not bitmaps? This might not be the best way to do what I need to do -- any other suggestions would be most appreciated!
