PLEASE HELP - URGENT Load Random Swfs From Individual Random Sets
I have two target mcs I would like to load different random swfs into

I have eight folders (a-h), each with 12 swfs (001-012)

I need to load a random swf (001-012) from a random folder (a-h) into the "card1" mc

I have figured out how to specify which one I want:

loadMovie("a/a001.swf","card1")
stop();

however, I need it randomized....

then, I need to load another random swf into my "card2" mc (001-012) from another random folder (a-h, ...except for the folder from which the first swf was loaded)

can somebody please help??????

Load Random Swfs From Two Differnet Random Sources
I am in the process of creating a VS Card game in Flash. It is basically a game where you can choose either one card or another, each randomly pulled from one of the eight different sets. The first card (or swf) can be pulled from any of the 8 sets (out of a total of 12 cards in each set))..and will load into a targetMC, and the second must be pulled randomly from any of the 8 sets except from the folder where the first card was chosen and load onto the second targetMC.

after the winning card is chosen, it will display winning animation (and send data off to a dynamic bargraph program), and then the main movie will reload two random cards from differnt sets.

can anybody help me on how to set this up??

Load A Flash Movie To A Random Frame Each Load
I have created a flash file that fades from one picture to the next. However, I would like to find an actionscipt that will allow the flash movie to load to different each time the page is visited/refreshed. That way visitors don't have to see the same image each time the visit the my page, but can still sit and watch all of them if they want. Also I would want to be able to specify which frames are available for load. That way the page will always load at the begining of each image animation... not right in the middle of it switching to the next image.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Load A Flash Movie To Specified Random Frames Each Load
Group:
I am trying to find a Actionscript where I can specify random frames and have the movie randomly load to the specified frames each time the page is viewed. The below scrip was given last time I posted this question, but it doesn't seem to load at the specified frames. Sometimes it does, sometimes it load right in the middle of an animation. You can see in the code below I would like the movie to load at frames 1, 116, 231, 346. Any suggestions?

_____________________________________________________

Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
for (var ivar = this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = random(ivar+1);
var t = this[ivar];
this[ivar] = this[p];
this[p] = t;
}
};
ASSetPropFlags(Array.prototype, ["shuffle"], 1, 1);
var Array_ar:Array = new Array(1, 116, 231, 346);
Array_ar.shuffle();
index = 0;
function load_random() {
gotoAndPlay(Array_ar[index++]);
if (index == Array_ar.length) {
(index=0);
}
}
load_random();

Load Random Mc.. Wait.. Then Load Following Mc
Last edited by [X]Silver : 2005-03-30 at 00:50.

Is this possible?

I'm doing a flash site, that loads a random movie at startup;

ActionScript Code:
filename = ["test_0.swf", "test_1.swf",
"test_2.swf", "test_3.swf", "test_4.swf"];
path = "mc/";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget);

Is it then possible to assign a linked movie to each of the randomly loaded movies, and have it load after a 4 second wait?

Page loads -> random movie -> 4 sec wait -> Random movie unloads and is replaced by the movie in same category (linked)

Does this make sense?

Hope someone can help me...
thanks

Random Load
I'm building my first all Flash site for myself.

The background is an image/.swf.

When someone hits the page, I want a unique and random image/.swf to pop into the background.

I've built the whole site off of an 'empy' base movie. Everything else loads into various layers or MCs of those layers.

My base image movie is layer 1. What would be the random script needed to have layer 1 rotate randomly through 5 or 6 different images/movies on load?

Any guidance, to tutorials or suggested scripting, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Load Random SWF
I would like to randomly load a series of external images into my Flash file. Since Flash 5 does not support external linking to image files, I have to place images into a SWF movie, and then randomly load the external movies.

If anyone knows a script for this, or could tell me where to find it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Random Load
i want a movie with random movieclips going of at random intervals, is it possible? And can you call for these movieclips to load when they get called so you dont have to load everything right away?

Also, do you need to clear it after each event has played so it doesnt take up space (ram)?

Load Random .swf In?
Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me with my problem. I have a movie with about 6 different sections which are loaded in from external .swf's. For the moment being my AS is...

loadMovie("news.swf",_root.wNEWS.newsMC);
_root.wNEWS.newsbutton.enabled = false;

The reason I have the button thing is to disable the button of that clip once it's loaded, I'm sure you knew that though. But what I want to do is instead of loading that clip in everytime have it randomly load in one of my 6 sections everytime you visit or refresh. I was wondering if someone could show me the AS for what I want to do? I would appreciate it alot. Thanks!

Random Load Swf
Hi folks,
here's my dilema. I trying to have my site stream my songs and then I want to put in a code to have it open another swf in the same window/level at random.
I'm looking for an actionscript code to do the following.
I need it to load my swf files in random order. <-don't make since
"is there a such thing as, Random order, order is not Random"
anyway
I have been searchin sites and forums and I keep getting real close to what I'm looking for. However, the code must be too complex for my newb @$$, or either they're half complete. Please, I know that it's a simple code to load my swf's, I just need a lil assistance.

ver: Flash 5
OS: Winderz (windows2k)

examples I found on the net!
r=random(12)+1;
filename="movie"&r&".swf";
loadMovie("http://your-server.com/swf/"&filename, _root, );

Load Random SWF
I am working on a website and I have 3 files:

index.swf (main site)

main_g1.swf
main_g2.swf

I need the last 2 to load into the index.swf file by using the LoadMovie script:

ActionScript Code:
loadMovie("main_g1.swf", "_root.g_loader");

ActionScript Code:
loadMovie("main_g2.swf", "_root.g_loader");

But I need them to load randomly into the same movie clip each time the site is visited (so it either loads main_g1.swf or main_g2.swf randomly).

Would anyone know a script for this?

How Can I Load Random Mc Or Gif`s?

Load Random MC's
Hey all. Designer here. U know what that means. I need the logic genius of a generous coder.

Heres what I need.

1. load image randomly once to a site for use as a background image.
the next time a user loads the page another random image appears in bck.

I'm think thinking 4 images total (img1.swf, img2.swf, etc).

What does the code look like? the simpler the better. Thanks.!

Load Random Swf But Not Same
someone here helped with the code to load random SWF files into a movie clip...however, i need to make sure it doesnt load the one that's already playing, that it goes on to a new one everytime..

Attach Code

var swf_ar:Array = new Array("carousel1.swf", "carousel2.swf", "carousel3.swf");
function load_random() {
var rnd:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*swf_ar.length);
carousel.unloadMovie();
carousel.loadMovie(swf_ar[rnd]);
}
load_random()

Load Random SWF
I want to load a random swf (I have five) each time a user goes to the site or hits refresh. I've researched this forum for an "easy" solution as well as buying an ActionScript book. I'm am in no way very savy with this subject. Is there an easy code to do what I need or will I have to immerse myself in understanding arrays, etc.

If someone can't provide any code could you please provide a clear basic path of the steps I have to go through so I can research each step one at a time to get the results I want.

Thanks in advance.

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

I though that was right, but I am obviously mistaked. help?

Random Load Swf
I have a bunch of swf's I want to load into my main movie...

I want one to load, wait 1 minute, then load another.

My question is, what is the easiest way to do this... In MX that is...

In Generator, I know how, but in MX, it is eluding me...

I'm thinking that I use an array (which I have never done before), but that would entail inputting the file names of all 30+ swf's...

I would like to have some sort of AS that will call the swf's by a number, then load the next swf, then when there are no more swf's, it goes back to 1.swf...

Am I asking for 2much?

and if there is a tutorial on this, I haven't found it... I can't even see where this has been asked on the forum before...

thanks in advance for any help...

Any help will be greatly appreciated ;-)

Load Random Movie
I'm attempting to load an external swf file at random.
To accomplish this I was hoping to put the paths of the swf files in an array and then call random to generate the random #. Then use the loadMovie command to load the selected file.

I've learned that loadMovie doesn't seem to like arrays or even variables in the arguments.

Example.

var MaxClips = 4;

var RandNum = random(MaxClips);

myClips = new Array();

myClips [0] = "0.swf";
myClips [1] = "1.swf";
myClips [2] = "2.swf";
myClips [3] = "3.swf";

// now for loading the movie

loadMovie(myClips[RandNum], 2);

-- or --

myMovieClip = myClips[RandNum];
loadMovie(myMovieClip, 2);

Later in the movie the user will be able to select options to change the loaded movie and again, I use the array.

Any help is appreciated.
