Flash :: Random Images Not Repeated In Other Mc's

Random But No Repeated
I have 10 images I want to load randomly into 3 separate movieclips just once (as to perpetually rotating). I want to be sure that during the random shuffling and placement, that an image is not repeated.

For exampe, I would like the following sampling set of numbers to come up:
1,2,3
1,5,9

I don't want the following to happen:
2,2,5
7,7,7

How do I avoid having numbers repeated when using 'random'? Any tips or pointers for tutorials? Thanks.

Load All Images From The Images In 1 Folder (named By Random Number)
Hi Guys,

I've got a gallery style viewer, you click on an image and it enlarges. It pulls in images which are numbered 1 to 12 in a folder called 'images'. I want it to pull in randomly numbered images instead. so i suppose i want it to search the folder for images named 1.jpg up to 1000000.jpg and pull them in.

I've uploaded it to: www.dhardy.co.uk/gallery.zip as it'll become clearer then!

Thanks in advance! dave.

Help With Unique Random Images - Multiple Images At A Time
Ok so what i would like to do is set up a page that has 36 images on it. But every time anyone goes to the site i want them to show up in random order. I have jpgs they are all labeled 1.jpg, 2.jpg 3.jpg and so on. I have used code that pulls the images form a folder that the swf isnt in like /images/1.jpg. So what im saying is i want to pull them externally. Any one have any ideas on how to do this?

Random Images + Random Timing
Is it possible to display random images, along with a unique amount of air time for each image?

I have a section that will display a company logo for a particular amount of time, according to its sponsorship level – being either 20, 10, 7, or 5 seconds.

Approximately 20 images are being used (JPEG, at 240px wide x 200px tall).

Repeated KeyPress = Bad
hello future saviours,

i've been trawling round the net for far too long now, trying to find a way of making a little movie that basically replicates the old 'track and field' style button-bashing frenzies.

I've made a movie that moves along when you press two keys, and it hapily 'resists' this movement by continuously shifting backwards (to a certain extent), but the game is exceptionally easy to beat - you just need to hold down the two keys.

So, in a nutshell, I'm trying to find a way of stopping the repitition of the normal keyPress() function thing.

Any ideas?

OnPress Repeated?
I've made a flash player that relies on the timeline using embedded flvs, and there are fastforward and rewind buttons. As of now, clicking it skips ahead or behind about 75 frames. I would like it so when you hold the button, it skips repeatedly until it is released, is there a simple way to do this, or will I have to use a listener etc?

Thanks

Repeated Classes
Hi,

used to know this but forgotten...

If I import same classes many times within a project because I need them in many of the project's classes eg EventDispatcher, am I adding unnecessarily to the filesize? Or does flash only import them the first time they are used?

Thanks

Repeated Actionscript
Hello. I'm doing a simple flash game. Anyway, I have in different frames the same object, yet the anctionscript changes. However, it does not change completeley. The begining changes in every frame (must me imputed by me) yet, the end is ALWAYS the same. I was wondering weather there was a way to store this peace of script somewhere and then insert it in the ebjects after the changing part, so I can save space and, mostly, so it becomes much easier to edit the changing part.

Actionscript Being Repeated On One Pc And Not Another
Hi Folks,

I've got a strange problem. I've come back to a bit of flash I was doing for my wife's photography site in January ( http://www.lilaclily.co.uk ).

I have bought a new PC since then and installed flash today. I tried the fla file on the old PC and it works normally (as it does on the website), but on the new PC when I preview it it seems to repeat the actionscript again and again - confirmed by some trace I added in.

I do most things in actionscript, I have a small amount in the fla to start everything off and assign visual instances to variables in the actionscript + assign a couple of callbacks. It seems to be the initialisation stuff in the fla that gets called again and again.

Any ideas what i've done wrong?

Thanks for your help
All the best,
Ash

Help With Repeated Keydown
I have 2 swfs - in these, on any keypress, it advances to the next frame. I have a setInterval delay on each frame so it doesn't go too fast. Both files work fine on their own.

I then load each swf into 2 different frames of a container swf. If I press keys fast on one frame and then switch to the other and press keys fast again and so on and so forth, it gets into a weird loop where it just keeps going faster and faster without any keyboard interaction. Any ideas?

Repeated Text In Scrollbars

IT worked great for the first page, but when i tried to use it anywhere else in the website (on different layers for different pages) whatever text i inputed into the second scrollbox would be copied into the origional, thus stopping me from using more than one of these scrollbars. Please, if anyone can help me i would be appriciated, and, because my friend was doing it, i know next to nothing about flash. If you can, please keep it simple for me. If you wish, i can email the file to you, as it is just a bit to big to attatch here.

[F8] Repeated MovieClip Animation
It seems so simple- and yet I can't figure out what to do...

I have a few animations that slowly move across the top of the screen. They are the first things I ever did in Flash, so I thought I'd go back to them and optimize them a bit.

There is a single graphic used in 2 different movieClips. The 2 movieClips do the exact same thing- move across the screen in the exact same place. The only reason there are multiple movie clips is I want them to start at seperate times. The second one starts when the first one is about 75% of the way across. Surely there is a better way to do this to reduce file size- by having instances of the same clip, but I don't know how to have one start as the other is 75% across continually.

I'm certain this is going to be cake but I can't figure it out!

Navigation Menus - Should They Be Repeated?
hello,

i've been wondering about this one for a while. I have a main navigation menu where one of the items is "training & conferences." when you click it you are taken to the training & conferences section where there is a sub menu on the side:
- member academy (this is one of our member things)
- earning credits
- degree of certification
- programs available
- program registration
- program cancellation
- directions to programs
- ... etc..

the person requesting this section to the website wants me to put that sub-navigation as a dropdown from the main nav menu. so it would actually be on all pages 2x's when in the "training & conferences" section.

how do you guys treat navigation? i mean do you try and not have redundant menus or is it ok? i feel like i should cut down on the main nav menu to generalize it all or something like combining all the "programs" options into one link..

any suggestions?

Components - PropertyInspectorSettingUpdate [repeated]
Hi, all!
I passing hard times trying to build a simple test component with live preview...
I followed the three first parts of a very big tutorial (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/creating_as3_components.html) and I keep getting this runtime error:
propertyInspectorSettingUpdate error Error #1056: Cannot create property propertyInspectorSetting on test.CellRepresentation.

Firs of all, what could I do to make it works and what in the h* is that propertyInspectorSettingUpdate error?? I google it and didn't find anything!
Second point, is there a easier way to make components with live preview in AS3?? All I need is a test component, just to put in the stage and test the layout...

Thank you all in advance.

Repeated Movie - Different Variables
I have a PHP script returning a list of variables to flash. The variables are named something like this:-

photo1
photo2
photo3
price1
price2
price3
modelnum1
modelnum2
modelnum3

there is also a variable n returned to flash which is the maximum number of movieclips required i.e

if n = 7 then there needs to be 7 movieclips and in the seventh movie clip there variables would be something like

photo7
price7
modelnum7

What I want to do is replicate the same movie clip with the necessary graphics and layout etc but show a the different variables in each so it would look something like this:

(movieclip 1)
price1
photo1
modelnum1

(movieclip 2)
price2
photo2
modelnum2

upto

(movieclip n)
price (n)
photo (n)
modelnum (n)

How can I create n number of identical movieclips with say three dynamic text boxes in each to show the three variables price, photo and modelnum but will vary with the value of n for each one.

Thanks for you help

Problem With Repeated Sounds
i currently have a sound playing repeatedly and pretty rapidly, it's a sound effect for a machine gun, but when i start shooting my gun it there will be a slight pause between the first shot sound and the subsequent shot sounds. it's almost as if flash waits for the first sound effect to finish before playing the next ones (which will repeat and play on top of each other just fine). i'm using the following code:

Code:
testshot = new Sound(this);
testshot.attachSound("gunshot");

// and on the gunshot event:
testshot.start(0,1);
anyone know what i could do so that my sound effects will play, evenly spaced apart?

This is driving me crazy. I am trying to recreate an effect found at the following website:
http://www.sentinelpartners.com/seco...news/index.htm

In this effect, each time a user loads a page, a different image will appear on the left side; the picture has an animated flash or swish text on top of the picture. On the page I am developing, I want to load both a random picture AND a random animated text quote. I have already developed a MC that will randomly load the quotes; of course, that text MC is very small. But a similar MC I developed for the pictures is way too large and causes an unacceptable delay in the page loading. I need a MC that will randomly load a .jpg (or swf files if I convert the pix to swf) from a specific directory (call it sflash). The webpage itself will have a flash file that uses the loadMovie function to load the pix MC and then the text MC. So... how do I create an MC that will randomly load my pix (1-14) from the external file sflash? Thanks in advance. KD

I Need Some Help With Random Images.....
I'm working on a project which involves randomizing multiple pictures. My client wants these to be in a random loop rather than a standard timeline order but I'm having a hell of time getting an action script created to do this.... can someone help me out?

I have 4 photoshop file each containing 4 seperate images 1-2-3-4

When the number one image transistions to another image, it should transition to another number 1 image - from the next photoshop file. the number two to a number two - three to three until all images are used. This should be random, not one after another. I'm having a problem in flash changing the lineup and the order of the transitions. Each transition need to hold unchanged for 2-3 seconds until the next one changes. I'd like to keep all the images grouped - in other words, one at a time, the images in flash1.psd would all transition to the images in flash2 and then all would change to flash3 and so on until flash4.

Help!! please???

[F8] Random Images
Hey,

After looking for hours on how to find some ActionScript that will load a random image and display is for me, I found a post on this forum with the folling script.

I am a newbie to AS and eager to learn, however I would like to adapt this cool script to be able fade in an image everytime a random is displayed. Does anyone have any ideas to point me in the right direction?

The script:

Code:
// create array to hold images, add more if needed
var picArray:Array = new Array();
picArray[0] = "http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif";
picArray[1] = "http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/ww/beta/y3.gif";
picArray[2] = "http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/images/shared/product_boxes/112x112/box_fl8pro_112X112.jpg";
picArray[3] = "http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/product_boxes/112x112/box_studio8_112X112.jpg";

// set random number range so that it won't exceed
//the number of images in picArray
var randomRange: Number = picArray.length;

// generate random number
function genRandomNum(num) {
num = Math.floor(Math.random() * randomRange)
return num;
}

// create mc to hold images
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcImage", getNextHighestDepth());
mcImage.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", mcImage.getNextHighestDepth());

// every time you press the image, it'll load a new image. You can remove
// this function if you wish.
mcImage.onRelease = function() {
trace(picArray[genRandomNum(x)]);
mclLoader.loadClip(picArray[genRandomNum(x)], mcImage.mcHolder);
}

// init ## Load a random image when swf is first loaded.
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mclLoader.loadClip(picArray[genRandomNum(x)], mcImage.mcHolder);

Hey guys,

this is my first post for actionscript.org, was needing alittle help with this-
could someone please be able to do two(or one thing if you can)
1. in the following code

choice = Math.round(Math.random()*2);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :
location.loadMovie("image0.swf");
break;
case 1 :
location.loadMovie("image1.swf");
break;
case 2 :
location.loadMovie("image2.swf");
break;
}

could anyone tell me how to count how many swf there are in a target folder

and putting the value in like this
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*ValueCalledin);

instead of listing all the files and

2. set a limited time for that swf to play before it calls in the next random swf

im my very unexpert like way i thought (im a total AS beginner) that the script may look something like this

this.location = "Myfolder/";
choice = Math.round(Math.random(".swf")*value);
switch (choice) {
case random :
this.location.loadMovie(".swf");

for the first bit, i dont know lol
dont laugh too hard at my attempt lol
cheers

Random Images
I created a flash piece with three images that rotate. So first image1 is displayed, fades out and then image2 displays, fades out then image3 displays, fades out, then image1 displays, etc...

What Im trying to do is when the application first starts it will randomely select one of the three images to start on. I plan on using the Random command to handle this but I am unable to figure out the actionscript command that I use in order to go into a function. I tried using OnStart and OnLoad but that didnt work. Any suggestion?

But that's not really the point, I want the image to change every time you load the page up (visit or reload the page).. I've tried making something like

if (_root.pic = 1) {
this.stop
}
if (_root.pic = 2) {
this.gotoAndStop(2)
}
if (_root.pic = 3) {
this.gotoAndStop(3)

'Cept I don't know how to make numbers random either...

(but I did try
_root.pic = random(3);

I am pretty new to actionscript, but I am trying to learn as much as I can. I have an idea to make a flash movie that loads 25 random pictures (5 pictures by 5 pictures). Also, somehow, after 5 seconds or so, I want to have a random (any of the pictures) to change into another random picture. Is that possible, too? What I would love to do is specify the folder where the pictures are, so that I can select any picture of the 200 or 300 or 400 pictures that are in that folder. Is that possible? I have been seeing so many times in the XML files that the pictures are already specified, meaning that no other pictures could be added with out altering the file.

If I am going to be able to do this, I need to know how to:

1. load 25 random pictures

2. after 5 seconds or so, have 1 picture change... and keep the process repeating.

3. If I am loading pictures from a folder in a computer, I wont change the attributes of the pictures. Is there a way in flash so that it would automatically adjust the size of the pictures. Does the "scale (matrix.scale)" have anything to do?

4. Will I have to make 25 individual "movie clips" and name them holder0, holder1, etc... to hold each file?

If anyone knows where I can read about any of this, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Evan
