Flash :: Loading Bar Is Repeating

Loading A Random - Non Repeating Variable
OK - here is my situation...

I am using a Random code - to grab a random variable from a playlist -

PHP Code:

function radioNext () {
    var max = objRadio.arrStations[intStation].arrSongs.length;
    var num = Math.floor(Math.random()*max);
    intSong = num;
    if (intSong>=objRadio.arrStations[intStation].arrSongs.length) {
        intSong = 0;
    }
    radioPlay();

radioNext is called at the end of each track - and it grabs another random song.

what i want to do - if possible - is eliminate - as best as possible the songs repeating themselves.

In the end there is going to be a HUGE library of songs.. and to think of having over 300 songs - and still catch a few repeating is a bit dishearnening.

any help is appreciated

Loading Random Jpgs In Several Mcs Without Repeating. ( How? )
Hello,

well i have 3 mcs (mc1,mc2,mc3), each loads .jpg files in it randomly. The question is how to make each of them not repeat previously loaded one.

Example of code that im using

Code:

filename = ["image"+random(7)+".jpg"];
path = "img/";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], mc1);
for example sometimes mc1 would load image1.jpg and others would load the same and so on. how to avoid such repeating ?

thanks

[F8] Avoiding Repeating Swfs When Loading Random Movies
Hello,

I've got a flash movie in which random movies are loaded one after another, using this code;

Code:
var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1);
function nextRandom() {
var swf = this._url.substr(0, this._url.lastIndexOf("/")+1)+"../images/swf/image"+Math.floor(Math.random()*10)+".swf";
mc.loadMovie(swf);
}
nextRandom();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mc._currentframe>=mc._totalframes) {
nextRandom();
}
};

which works fine. However, with this, there's nothing that says that one swf can't be loaded again and again. Not good. Can someone help me by suggesting some lines of code that will prevent the same swf from repeating? It would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Jakob

Making 3 Sets Of Non-repeating #'s And Non-repeating #'s Within The Sets
Hey guys,

How would you go in making 3 sets of non-repeating #'s. Every time I click an MC, there's a number associated with it and should be removed from the following set.

Like this:

1st set: 6#s, 0-11
2nd set: 5#'s, (0-11)-1stMcClicked
3rd set: 4#'s, (0-11)-(1stMcClicked && 2ndMcClicked)

I'm using Senoculars function:

ActionScript Code:
function RandomNumbers(c) {
var r, p, i = c, n = new Array(c);
while (i--) {
n[i] = i;
}
while (c--) {
r = random(c);
p = n[c];
n[c] = n[r];
n[r] = p;
}
return n;
}
randomNumbers = RandomNumbers(11)
And getting 6 #'s from a choice of 12, like so:

ActionScript Code:
randomNumbers.splice(6);

The tricky part is to tweak Senoculars function, frankly because I don't understand it, and add exceptions.

Then, I tried something different:

ActionScript Code:
//Cred. to Senocular
function RandomNumbers(c) {
var r, p, i = c, n = new Array(c);
while (i--) {
n[i] = i;
}
while (c--) {
r = random(c);
p = n[c];
n[c] = n[r];
n[r] = p;
}
return n;
}
///Remove specific value from an array---***
function remItem(arr, item) {
tempArray = [];
for (i=arr.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
if (arr[i] != item) {
tempArray.push(arr[i]);
}
}
tempArray.reverse();
arr = tempArray;
return (arr);
}
var set1Array:Array = new Array();
var set2Array:Array = new Array();
var set3Array:Array = new Array();
var tempArray:Array = new Array();
var setArray:Array = new Array(set1Array, set2Array, set3Array);
var ammountToStart:Number = 5;
var totalChoices:Number = 11;
var currentSet:Number = 1;

function makeRandomSets(currentSET, ammountToStartWith) {
switch (currentSET) {
case 1 :
tempArray = RandomNumbers(totalChoices);
set1Array = tempArray.splice(5);
trace(set1Array);
tempArray = [];
break;
case 2 :
tempArray = RandomNumbers(totalChoices);

for (i=0; i<set1Array.length; i++) {
if (set1Array[i] == tempArray[i]) {
tempArray = remItem(tempArray, set1Array[i]);
}
}
tempArray.splice(5);
set2Array = tempArray;
trace(set2Array);
tempArray = [];
break;
case 3 :
tempArray = RandomNumbers(totalChoices);

for (i=0; i<set2Array.length; i++) {
if (set2Array[i] == tempArray[i]) {
tempArray = remItem(tempArray, tempArray[i]);
}
}
tempArray.splice(4);
set3Array = tempArray;
trace(set3Array);
break;
default :
trace("****ing error");
}
}

makeRandomSets(currentSet,ammountToStart);

and on a button:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
_root.ammountToStart--;
_root.currentSet++;
makeRandomSets(_root.currentSet,_root.ammountToStart);
}
Example trace:

Code:
3,0,9,1,8,6
9,10,0,2,6
7,6,10,9
As you can see, numbers repeat...

I know that my function isn't going to work, it's testing values consequentially. ([0] & [0], [1] & [1], etc etc...)

So?

Anyone...?

Ideas?

Mp3 Keeps Repeating. I've Tried And Tried To Fix It
I bought a custom flash template and have been able to fix everything the way I need it except for the music player. It will play the first song and then when it is finished, it will play it again.

If I push the next button it will go to the next song, but I would like it to be able to do that on its own.

I also was wondering if there would be a way that I could get the Title of the mp3 that is playing to be shown.

If you would like to see what I'm working with, pm me and i'll show you the site.

Thanks.

A Repeating Mc
i'm trying to simply make an animation repeat every few seconds with a bit of actionscript but it's not working properly. Here is the code i've written:

Code:
var speed:Number;

speed= 1000;

function pourOil():Void{
oilDrip_mc.duplicateMovieClip('new_oil',getNextHighestDepth)
}

setInterval(pourOil,speed);

Now, i thought this might work but it's not really working properly. It seems to repeat the movie but keeps on cutting out the other ones that it started. I'm just guessing but i think it has to do with the new movie clips not having a unique name? (in the duplicateMovieClip i just put 'new_oil'). There might be a neater way of doing this.

Can anybody help? That would be great, thanx

Repeating
I'm trying to figure out how to make some text glow randomly red repeatedly.

I have created the text as an object, added randomly placed Keyframes and used 50 frames. I changed the colour red on every other keypoint and then on the final frame added the action:

Stop () ;
gotoAndPlay (1) ;

But whenever I play the section of animation in the editor or on the main stage it won't repeat the object's animation. Can anyone help?

DupMovClip ERR When Repeating? .. HELP
Ok, i have a flash file (a dumbed down version so I could test this error I'm having in this game I'm working on) that removes movie clips when new ones are created. I've checked the syntax many times, and played with the numbers, but, linearly speaking, the first batch of Dup'd movies that appears are removed as the second batch appears. ie: MCa-1, MCa-2, MCa-3 are created, THEN the next set of MC created (different names for them) MCb-1, MCb-2, MCb-3 start removing MCa-1 and MCa-2!!

here is the code, it's long and ugly b/c I took out the while loop to ensure the steps were right, but you'll see the while loop is commented out.

I placed this in a MC on the stage that is not duplicated.

onClipEvent(load) {
v_Test = 1;
v_Test2 = 1;

// duplicate them and make them tall
_root.c_Circle.duplicateMovieClip(["c_Tall" + v_Test], v_Test);

with (_root["c_Tall" + v_Test]) {
_x = v_Test * 20;
_y = 200;
_yscale = 150;
}

v_Test ++;

_root.c_Circle.duplicateMovieClip(["c_Tall" + v_Test], v_Test);

with (_root["c_Tall" + v_Test]) {
_x = v_Test * 20;
_y = 200;
_yscale = 150;
}

v_Test ++;

_root.c_Circle.duplicateMovieClip(["c_Tall" + v_Test], v_Test);

with (_root["c_Tall" + v_Test]) {
_x = v_Test * 20;
_y = 200;
_yscale = 150;
}

// same as this "commented out" while statment

// v_Test = 3;
// while (i_Test < v_Test) {
// i_Test ++;
// _root.c_Circle.duplicateMovieClip(["c_Tall" + i_Test], i_Test);

// with (["c_Tall" + i_Test] + i_Tall) {
// _x = i_Tall * 20;
// _y = 200;
// _yscale = 150;
// }
// }

// switch to wide

v_Test2 ++;

_root.c_Circle.duplicateMovieClip(["c_Wide" + v_Test2], v_Test2);

with (_root["c_Wide" + v_Test2]) {
_x = v_Test2 * 20;
_y = 200;
_xscale = 150;
}

v_Test2 ++;

_root.c_Circle.duplicateMovieClip(["c_Wide" + v_Test2], v_Test2);

with (_root["c_Wide" + v_Test2]) {
_x = v_Test2 * 20;
_y = 200;
_xscale = 150;
}

v_Test2 ++;

Repeating A Layer
Heres the dealio.
I have 3 stop commands thoughout my time line to pause my scene until a button triggers it to start playing wherever.
What I want to do is have a about 4 layers repeat them selves after frame xx in the time line. None of them will play before frame xx, just continously througout the rest of the time line.
Im racking my brain trying to think of code that will work and have searched a bizillion pages trying to find an answer.

iaskwhy, if you read this, you mentioned in another thread about never to use gotoAndPlay ("scene1",1), because it never works.
I was about to commit myself to an insane asylum, I thought I was going crazy. Your suggestion on using _root saved me alot of anguish.

Repeating Array
Something I am working on uses large arrays to store information.
The thing is the way I have broken up the information some arrays are effectively repeated.

So, I have:

myArray1 = [--Large Array1--]
myArray2 = [--Large Array2--]
myArray3 = [--Large Array2--]

but I could reduce it like so:

myArray1 = [--Large Array1--]
myArray2 = [--Large Array2--]
myArray3 = myArray2

Now, obviously if only on the level that it saves me copying a huge array out saying arrayA = arrayB works for me.
But I wondered if this could cause any problems for me later on, and I also wondered that when the swf is compiled is the size going to be reduced by this method?

Anybody now of a way of telling the game not to show the same question twice?

MC Not Repeating Correctly [F8]
Have a MC with 91 frames

Frame 1 has 2 layers; actions layer with stop(); and a layer with a start button -
Button has gotoAndPlay(33)

Frame 33 thru 91 has various layers with nav buttons tweens and AS stop();'s sprinkled throughout.
There is a common "exit" button within all these frames with a gotoAndPlay(2)

Frame 2 thru 32 is a "exit sequence" tween

on Frame 32 ,to get me back to Frame 1, placed:

onEnterFrame = function() {
gotoAndStop(1)
}

//also tried gotoAndPlay(1) as I don't think it should matter with the AS of stop(); in Frame 1

EVERYTHING works perfectly throughout the entire MC, buttons, tweens, exit sequence, etc.

HOWEVER, whenever I hit the "exit" button, run through the "exit sequence" and then land back on Frame 1 and then press the original "start" button, it appears to only flash Frame 33 and then seems to land me back on Frame 1 with the start button again.

My brain is telling me this should work but I'm still new to this.

Any ideas appreciated.

MovieClipLoader Repeating :-(
I am using the code below to load in an external MC, and all is good. Apart from once the MC has run, it simply loops back and plays again.

I have NO control over the external SWF as it is being published outside of Flash so I cannot add anything as simple as a stop(); command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {

mc.stop();

mc._alpha = 100;
mc.play();

Hey all! I'm working on a bit of a menu in flash, and wanted to know if there is any way to code all of the buttons in one piece of code instead of having each button coded individually? The code is as follows:

Code:
homebutton.onRollOver = function() {
te.fadeTo(homebig, 50);
te.changeWH(this, 30, 30);
te.fadeTo(where, 30);
};
homebutton.onRollOut = function() {
te.fadeTo(homebig, 0);
te.changeWH(this, 25, 25);
te.fadeTo(where, 100);
};

homebutton.onPress = function()
{
te.fadeTo(homesm, 100);
te.fadeTo(hometxt, 100);
set("infoTxt", "Back to the main Homepage of this site! The latest news and information.");
};
For example instead of writing:

Code:
homebutton.onRollOver = function()
Is there any syntax for say:

Code:
*button.onRollOver = function()
Where the star would just do anything with 'button' at the end of the name?

URLLoader Repeating Itself
Hi there,

I'm pretty new to Flash and AS3 but I've managed to figure most of my problems out with the help of books and the net...I'm having a problem with a URLLoader and I just cannot work it out.

The problem is that when I click on my buttons that start the function containing the URLLoader, the Loader loads the data repeatedly, as many times as I have clicked on a button. So, for example, if I click a button it will load the data twice. Click again and it loads it three times, again and it loads it four times etc...I know this because I traced the function that runs when the URLLoader is completed (xmlLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded); )

This poses serious problems for me because each time this happens, the loader adds more and more children to the sprite I am loading the data (a simple XML List) and I cannot manipulate the objects correctly. On top of that I'm sure there is a memory problem.

Anyway, I'm sorry this is such a loaded question, but have you run into a problem like this before and do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

Help With Repeating Action In AS 3
In AS2 it is possible to create multiple movieclips with new instance name using a for loop:

for (var i:Number = 10; i > 0; i--) {

myClip.duplicateMovieClip("newMC" + i, i, {_x:i*10, _y:i*10});

}

How would the similar be done in AS3?

Thanks

Repeating Code
HELLO,

I have a code that loads an external image or an external swf as a background. the code starts when the user selects an item from the menu and goes to the target frame.

My question is:

do I have to repeat this code everytime in every frame? I am using flash 8, and this is the code

ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("loader_mc", 1);

//create a MovieClipLoader
mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
//create an object for listener
loadListener = new Object();
//register the loadlistener as a listner of hte mcLoader object
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);

//load the swf of jpg into the movie clip target
mcLoader.loadClip("final.swf", loader_mc);

//what to do when it starts to load
loadListener.onLoadStart = function (){
loader_mc.stop();

}

//what to do when is downloading
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function (mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes){
preload = Math.floor(loadedBytes/totalBytes *100);
bar_mc._xscale =preload;
loaderText_txt.text= preload +" %";
}
//what to do when is finished
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function (){
loader_mc.play();
loader_mc._alpha=0;
myInterval = setInterval (alpha, 10);
function alpha (){
if (loader_mc._alpha<100){
loader_mc._alpha +=1;
}else{
clearInterval (myInterval);
}
}

loaderText_txt._visible=false;
bar_mc._visible=false;

}

Loading Bar Is Repeating

OK here it is:, I have set up a loading screen for much of the website. However when I load external swfs into my movie, the loading bar on those movies will sometimes repeat several times before actually going to the frame it is supposed to after the loading is complete. jnads
