Random Picture Loader

Hello,
I'd like to have flash randomly load pictures from a folder into a window on my website. I've sized all the pictures to the correct dimension. All I need to know is how to tell flash to randomly load and unload movies from an empty movieclip. This would have to be on a time based interval such as 30 seconds - the user would have nothing to do with it (i hope)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can check www.freshpixels.net and go to the portfolio to see how it is not working. thx.

//initialize variables and properties
square._alpha = 0;

//initiate change to new image when buttons are clicked
next.onPress = function() {
if (whichPic<6 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic++;
input = whichPic;
}
};
back.onPress = function() {
if (whichPic>1 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic--;
input = whichPic;
}
};
_level0.portfolio.onEnterFrame = function() {
// when a new Photo is selected, fade out, load new image, and fade in
if (square._alpha>10 && fadeOut) {
square._alpha -= 10;
}
if (square._alpha<10) {
loadMovie("3DDESIGN/image"+whichPic+".jpg", "square");
fadeOut = false;
fadeIn = true;
}
if (square._alpha<100 && fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
square._alpha += 10;
} else {
fadeIn = false;
}
// limit input field
if (input>6) {
input = 6;
}
// initiate change to new image when Enter key is pressed
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic = input;
}
};
// if a number is entered in the input field but Enter is not pressed, change

Picture Loader
hi,

I have an .swf that loads external .jpg files that works when i use it in an swf player, but when I put it on an HTML page it won't work. Can someone take a look at my files and possibly tell me why?

You can see how it doesn't work here.

The files I used are also zipped with this message.

Thanks,

Outside Picture Loader
I finished a website some time ago and now they want to be able to add pictures at their leisure. This of course is a problem since they cannot use flash, so heres my idea in which I need help making.

I'm thinking of some script that would look for pictures numbers 1-90 that are in the same folder. It would then take those and display them in order with fade ins and outs.

I'm script illiterate to that which I don't know, so I would be very grateful to anyone that could help me out. Thanks

Picture Loader Component
Hiya

I want to be able to load an image into the picture loader component from file, at the moment it is hard coded, but I want the program to pick up the path from wherever the user has installed the files (if that makes sense!)

This is the code I have at the moment:
picLoader.contentPath = path + "Images\Square\square2.swf";
picLoader.load();

path is set to:
_global.path = "C:\Program Files\MathsWorld\";
earlier in the timeline.

how can I replace the path with the file path that the user has installed the files to??

thanks

Pre-loader Which Uncovers Picture
hi,

I am wondering how difficult it would be to make a pre-loader which uncovers a picture.. so for example i have a background picture, being a landscape scene- and the pre-loader would be a white page which as it loads reveals the landscape picture in a radial fashion, so from the center it uncovers the picture- a dot growing into a circle--

i dont know if that explanation is good enough?
basically the picture which is uncovered, or loaded would then be set as the backgroudn picture of the main movie..

another way...
of doing it would be to cut the picture into rings, save those sepperatly as a gif and then load one at a time, from the smallest in the middle till the biggest & last..

HELP Picture Loader Problems
hey everyone,
i really like really need one of urs help on this subject.

i have created a picture gallery for my flash document.
but for some reason my loader isn't working.

i am going to be attaching the FLA file so you can take a quick look at it an see perhaps where i am err'ng

i have 2 components

ones the LOADER and the other is ScrollPane
i made a separate Movie Clip called
picture_mc

which i gave an instance name of
picture_mc

inside the movie clip picture_mc

i have the 2 components

the loader to display the photos and the scrollPane to hold the horizontal thumbnails.

the loader actionscript i used

//

extLoader_mc._visible = false;

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);

myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc,bytesLoaded,bytesTotal) {
extLoader_mc._visible = true;
var pctLoaded = Math.round(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal*100);
extLoader_mc.extLoaderBar_mc._xscale = pctLoaded;
if (bytesLoaded >= bytesTotal) {
extLoader_mc._visible = false;
}
}
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile6.jpg",picLoader);

\

this loads the starting picture perfectly as you will see when u test the FLA

and the thumbnail slide seem to work perfectly as well even accepts the code for the rollOver tag when u rollover the thumbnails.

but for some reason the onRelease isn't working
its not loading the pictures from my folder "pics/tile1.jpg"

here is the code i used in the thumbnail movie clip

tile_th_mc
-----------------------------
//
tile1.onRollOver = function () {
tile1.gotoAndPlay ("over");
}

tile2.onRollOver = function () {
tile2.gotoAndPlay ("over");
}

tile3.onRollOver = function () {
tile3.gotoAndPlay ("over");
}

tile4.onRollOver = function () {
tile4.gotoAndPlay ("over");
}

tile5.onRollOver = function () {
tile5.gotoAndPlay ("over");
}

tile6.onRollOver = function () {
tile6.gotoAndPlay ("over");
}

tile1.onRelease = function () {
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile1.jpg",picLoader);
}

tile2.onRelease = function () {
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile2.jpg",picLoader);
}

tile3.onRelease = function () {
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile3.jpg",picLoader);
}

tile4.onRelease = function () {
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile4.jpg",picture_mc.picLoader);
}

tile5.onRelease = function () {
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile5.jpg",picture_mc.picLoader);
}

tile6.onRelease = function () {
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/tile6.jpg",picture_mc.picLoader);
}

\
--------------------------------------------

the rollOver works great its only the onRelease's that not working.

i put picture_mc.picLoader because my picLoader is within my picture_mc file.

not sure if was suppose to do that or not i was going of a video tutorial i was watching and thats how he explained it.

well anyway there it is in all its glory.

again i am attaching the FLA file so you can take better look at it.

i need to get this working cause its my first flash website i am doing for a good friend of mine, an want to make a good impression ya know?

but this is the only thing that is holding me back the rest of the site is 90% finish with some minor things to straighten out.

but if all goes well with this one,
he said he would put out the word for me for future jobs.

so again i beg of someone
please take a look at the FLA i am attaching
for i so very much am in need of figuring this out i been wracking my brains for past 2 weeks on my own an come as far as i able to at moment.

again thanks

Roger

you can access the file at this link

http://rojere.com/flash/picture_mc.fla

when u click on it.. you'll get screen where its all unreadable
dats ok just go to browser an go to FILE and SAVE PAGE AS

dont save the page as a "TXT" file but drop down to show ALL FILES and then click on the save button.
-----------------------------------------------------

PS as you will notice in the
actionscript
tile_th_mc - movie clip

that on the onRelease codes
i have completed an not complete codes
with
picLoader by iteself and with

picture_mc.picLoader

i wanted to test these 2 codes to see if one or the other worked but neither of them work

so thus is my dilemma

Problem With Multipage Picture Loader
Hey. I am having trouble with this photo gallery I am putting together. There are 4 pics on each page except the last, and a total of 14 pictures. The last page has 2 pictures.

Everything works and loads fine for the 1st 4 pictures in the loader which are on the 1st page. The problem comes in when I move to any of the other 3 pages. All of the sudden, the script that I wrote for the 1st 4 pics to show up in the loader is no longer working for the other pics. And to add insult to injury when I navigate back to the first page of pictures, all of the sudden those don't work either. I know there is a problem with how I am arranging my actionscript, but for the life of me, I can't put it together.

The file is 900K, so I can't post it on here, but the link to it is

http://www.spgproductions.net/gallerystash.fla

I know the larger picture files that go in the loader aren't there, but I thought you could just tell by looking at my code what I am doing wrong.
I know this seems like a real pain but I would really appreciate the help.

Random Flv Loader + Radom Swf Loader
so i am making a flv player with an flv ad at the beginning, the main flv in the middle, and a swf ad at the end. the issue i have is that the flv ad at the beginning has to be randomly selected from a short list of flv ads in a network folder and the swf ad at the end is a click-able flash animation that has to correspond with the flv ad at the beginning.

so for example:
i have a video flv and swf ad pair for a window company, a restaurant, and a shoe store. when someone loads the video player, the shoe store flv ad is randomly loaded, the main video plays, and at the end, the click-able swf shoe store ad loads.

does that make sense?

THANKS!

Picture Loader Auto-scale Problem
I am having some difficulty with the mx.controls.Loader component and it's auto-scale parameter.

I have a swf that loads a picture that was just uploaded on the previous page. I use FlashVars to pass the location and filename to the mx.controls.Loader. The loader is set to auto-scale content.

This works perfectly 99% of the time but I have run into a problem when trying to upload and preview a picture from a slower DSL connection. It is not scaling the picture at all so I can see is the corner of this image.

Here are two pictures for an idea what I'm talking about...

How it should be:

How it is with slow connection:

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Or how to fix it?

Random Picture Function? (mx)
using: Flash MX

I am new here, just have a question about a random picture function i'm trying to get my flash banner working for my website.

here is my testing page:
http://www.shoutoutdesigns.com/new/test.html

as you can see, it is a bit messed up! ...I cannot figure out the actionScript for a random picture...see, how there are a few pictures flashing at the moment? ...I generally want ONE picture show up at a time. (not really a rotating thing)

currently, i have a mask layer..under it, is the movie clip where those pictures are. I tried putting this:

------------------------------------------------------------
//invoke the functionl pick a random number between 1-10
var destinationFrame = myRandom(1,10);

// now, send the playhead to that frame and stop!
gotoAndStop(destinationFrame);
------------------------------------------------------------
in the 1st frame of the movie clip (where the pictures are located) ..but it doesn't work...

so bascially, when someone comes onto my webpage, i want 1 of the 10 pictures come up, so if they were to refresh the page, it different picture would show up --does that make sense?? maybe i'm just going overboard with this?!

I hope someone can help me!
thanks for reading y'all.

Random Picture/text Without PHP
I was trying to do a banner with a random picture in the background, then a random quote or text in the foreground. My purpose in this is to have a picture with a different quote a good majority of the time. I've seen posts about doing it over PHP, but i'm trying to avoid that. I've figure out a way to do it but i have to specify how many pictures and quotes.

example
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*6);
switch (choice) {
case 1 :
location2.loadMovie("pic01.jpg");
break;
case 2 :
location2.loadMovie("pic02.jpg");
break;
case 3 :
location2.loadMovie("pic03.jpg");
break;
case 4 :
location2.loadMovie("pic04.jpg");
break;
case 5 :
location2.loadMovie("pic05.jpg");
break;
case 6 :
location2.loadMovie("pic06.jpg");
break;
}

Only problem i see with this is, if someone wants to add a picture later on, they have to edit the FLA.

Is there a way that someone later on, without the FLA file, can edit a text file or such and have more pictures rotated into the mix?

as in a bin that randomly calls pictures, no matter how many pictures are in it?

Also concerning the quotes. I want the same thing, but for the quotes to be called from a text file randomly. So again, someone can edit a text file, put new quotes in there, and it will be randomly called.

My apologies for the long post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Random Picture Loading
Hi All,

Got a slight problem and I'm pulling my hair out....

I have a page that shows 2 random pictures pulled from a image directory that has 5 images.

I got the random bit from somewhere but can't get the pictures to load simultaneously. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Code:
pictures_array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
Array.prototype.pickRandomValues = function(n) {
var selected = [];
for (var i = 0; i<n; ++i) {
var r = Math.floor(Math.random()*this.length);
selected.push(this[r]);
this.splice(r, 1);
}
return selected;
};
loadMovie("img/"+pictures_array.pickRandomValues(1)+".jpg", "container_mc");
loadMovie("img/"+pictures_array.pickRandomValues(1)+".jpg", "container_mc copy");

Loading Random Picture (swf)...
I found the script which will load a random picture on each refresh of the page:

_________________________________________
filename = ["a.swf", "b.swf", "c.swf"];
path = "http://areaofpictures/images/";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], bgTarget);

_________________________________________

OK, this is good if I just have 1 picture to show on a page, but does anyone know how to modify this code to switch the image swf every 30 seconds without the need of a refresh?

Php And Random Picture Loading
Hey I've been looking for ages for a good tutorial or expliantion of how to load random images into flash

I know I could name them image0.jpg, image1.jpg etc and hard code in the total number of pictures, but then you would have to hard code in the titles of each of the images in flash.

What i want to do is have all the images in one directory, have the php file read the directory, find all the image files in that directory and add them to an array that can then be used in flash to choose the picture and load it (i can do this easily).

Because I am new to php i cant work it out, but i am pretty sure it is possible. Can anyone Help?

Random Picture Flash
Hi,
I want to display a random picture at the start up of my page. It is just one picture each time as the background, and I have about 10 different pictures, so when you go to the page, it could be a different picture each time.
Is this possible? How?

:URGENT: Random Picture Generator
I creaed a random picture generator with a tutorial from kirupa.com
(http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/l...background.htm)

Now I created that same movie exactly the way he said. But something is going wrong.

I use Dreamweaver, and I have a few flash files on my index.htm. In dreamweaver, when I click the "play" and "stop" buttons in dreamweaver's properties inspector, the movie works great. But when I F12 it, or publish to web, all I get is a blank screen.

The only things I did different than the tutorial is I changed the pictures used, and I changed the movie size to fit my pictures/open box in dreamweaver.

http://www.onlymansei.com/test
http://www.onlymansei.com/test/image...swf/random.swf

You can go to the first one (www.onlymansei.com/test) and see the open box on the bottom right corner. That is where that flash movie should be going.

Now you can go to that open white space, and check, a flash movie is playing, but nothing is going on.

Thanks for all youe help.
Sincerely,
Will Stein

Random Picture Display, Timelimited
Hi, I need some help with an actionscript for a site I'm working at right now. I have around 10 pictures and the effect I'm aiming to create a random picture displayer.

Right now I have all the pictures lined up in flash after each other and the pictures scrolls from 1-10. But the thing I want to create is so that it goes from 2 to 5, 6 to 1 etc, I think (hope) you get the point. I have seen many sites using this and it looks really cool, so I want something similarly for this site.

Random Variable For External Picture
Hi,

I have this code in my movie:

code:
pic = random(2);
pic = pic + 1;
picture.loadMovie("pictures/background"+pic+".jpg");
stop();

It works fine; 2 background pictures are randomly loaded in the movie.

But how can I control the random value with a variable?
If my variable is called "qback" than:
pic = random(qback);
does not work.

Bye, EJB

Random Picture From External Txt File
Ahh, it just won't work...
I want my movieclip to randomly choose a background picture. So far no problems... (I've a MC with instance name picture for this purpose etc etc)

But now I want to adjust the number of background pictures from an external txt file called update.txt. Inside this file i've this: &qback=4& (and another var.) Its easy to add more and more background pictures this way, but it won't work the way i've done it:

Code:
frame1:
loadVariablesNum("update.txt", 0);

frame3:
var maxVal = Number(qback);
// I have done the number thing to make the string a number... I'm not sure about it...

pic = Math.round(Math.random()*maxVal);
pic = pic+1;
picture.loadMovie("http://www.zwvnoord-aa.nl/test/background"+pic+".jpg");
stop();

I hope someone can help me out...
Ciao, EJB

Random Non-repeating Picture Array
I'm just a beginner at Flash, so please help me. I have a game I'm trying to make an online "calculator" for so people will know what to do and what to offer players. What I'm basically planning on is this.

I have 26 movie clips of the front of suitcases. When a contestant clicks on a suitcase, the cover slowly goes down (AKA Opens) to reveal a value inside. There are 26 different values that can be behind each case.....

[F8] Random Picture Button Quiz Help
Hi,

I'm making a quiz. I would like to display five random buttons on the stage. One button will be the correct answer while the other four will be wrong.

Everything works in the first frame, but when I copy and paste the code to the second frame, it doesn't work! For some reason, it draws everything on screen fine, but none of the buttons will work... any ideas?

Once I get it to work on the second frame, I would like to make "btn_ins2" the second correct answer by doing this...

btn_ins2.onRelease = function()
{
Play();
}

You can download the .fla file from here

http://www.asby91.dsl.pipex.com/quiz.fla

My mind is turning into spaghetti from this problem, but I'm sure its quite straight forward for the pros here... well I hope it is :-)

Random Swf Loader - Please Help
hi guys,

was just wondering if there would be a straight forward way of creating a loader which can play random swf's, its gonna be an ad area. i dont mind if it uses xml or whatever, i have knowledge to do that, but in my limited ability, i have only been able to list the movies ie

Quote:

<images directory="myfolder">
<imageNode jpegURL="img0.jpg" thumbURL="thm0.jpg" title="Image 0">Comments on Image 0</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="img1.jpg" thumbURL="thm1.jpg" title="Image 1">Comments on Image 1</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="img2.jpg" thumbURL="thm2.jpg" title="Image 2">Comments on Image 2</imageNode>
</images>

what i would like to do is make a movie which loads random external swfs, then after a time period will refresh itself back to the start of the movie and load another random swf, i release that the actionscript will be pretty simple to do, count etc as will the xml to make it random, i just lack the ability to make it happen, any help or advise would be great, thanks in advance

Random URL Loader
Hello everyone.

I am trying to have a random URL load on a mouse down event, here's the code:

ActionScript Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

var topArray:Array = new Array();
var botArray:Array = new Array();
var urlLoader = new Loader();

for(var j:int=0;j<35;j++) {
var mcTop:topButton = new topButton;
mcTop.x = j*mcTop.width / 2.8 + 75;
mcTop.y = 450;
mcTop.scaleX = 0.3;
mcTop.scaleY = 0.3;
mcTop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, topReveal);
mcTop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, topHide);
mcTop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, topGoTo);
addChild(mcTop);

topArray.push(mcTop);

}

function topReveal (event:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween (event.currentTarget, {y:450, scaleX:1, scaleY:1, time:0.2, transition:"easeInOutQuad"});
}

function topHide (event:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween (event.currentTarget, {y:450, scaleX:0.3, scaleY:0.3, time:1, transition:"easeInOutQuad"});
}

function topGoTo (event:MouseEvent):void {
urlLoader.load(studentURL);
}

for(var k:int=0;k<35;k++) {
var mcBot:botButton = new botButton;
mcBot.x = k*mcBot.width / 2.8 + 75;
mcBot.y = 460;
mcBot.rotation = 180;
mcBot.scaleX = 0.3;
mcBot.scaleY = 0.3;
mcBot.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, botReveal);
mcBot.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, botHide);
addChild(mcBot);

botArray.push(mcBot);

}

function botReveal (event:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween (event.currentTarget, {y:460, scaleX:1, scaleY:1, time:0.2, transition:"easeInOutQuad"});
}

function botHide (event:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween (event.currentTarget, {y:460, scaleX:0.3, scaleY:0.3, time:1, transition:"easeInOutQuad"});
}

var studentURL:Array = [new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"), new URLRequest("http://www.actionscript.org"), new URLRequest("http://www.ingenieursonline.co.uk")];
var randomStudentURL:URLRequest = studentURL[randUint(studentURL.length)];

function randUint(max:uint):uint {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * max);
}

My problem is that it doesn't work, I get coercion failures. I can post the fla if it would help. Any ideas?

Ta, A.

Always a rainbow after rainy day
