Trying To Display 2 Random Images In A Single Frame

Display Random Images
Is there an easier way to display random images, for example I want it to display an image or two and then three or four second’s later change to another.

I have over 100 images to display and don’t really want create each frame and place a new image on every 5 or so frame.

There must be somewhere out there some action script that can do this, can anyone help I would very much appreciate it, and thanks in advances for your help.

Display Random Images Using Xml
I need to make a simple flash video. In the video, I need to have two seperate images move across the screen or else just fade in/out. I would ideally like to have each of the two image change RANDOMLY each time it either scrolls across the screen or each time they fade in and out. I have previously used xml to make one picture change randomly so I could easily update the pictures without having to have access to flash software. Ideally I like to have both of the images moving across the screen load from the same xml file. Is this possible? Is there an easier way to do this?

My goal is to complete a website with a flash banner on it and hand it off to a group that doesn't know anything about flash. I would like them to be able to simply edit a line or two of code to update the banner with new pictures instead of having to buy flash to edit the .fla file

Display 4 Random Images
Hi, I want to display 4 random images in row when the page loads from a folder which has 15 jpg images and need to avoid repetition.
I don't want them to repeat. For instance I want images displayed like like: 3, 7, 11, 1, when you load the page but not 3, 7, 11, 3.
Many thanks.

Random Display Of Images To Fill A Grid
I've got a grid of thumbnail images 14x6 so there are 84 tiny thumbnails in total. What I'm trying to do is display them randomly using a setInterval so evently after 84 loops there are all 84 thumbnails showing.

I'm thinking about placing them all on the stage to start with and then set visibility to none and then on each loop, turn the visibility on. That way, all 84 are in the right place, I just need to know how to display them in a random order.

Any ideas on how to get me started with the loop would be a great help.

Thanks Mark

Random Image(frame) Display
Hi there,

I am seeking some assistance with a problem I am having in Flash MX. Please excuse my ignorance if I am posting in the wrong ActionScript section, I am uncertain which version MX uses.

I am trying to use flash to create a banner for a website which contains 5 different images/designs. I would like for a randomly selected banner to be displayed each time the page refreshes. I decided to do this flash and ActionScript as opposed to JavaScript as it means not having to edit every page of the the large website I am working with.

So far I have tried this:

5 frames, each with a new image to display and a random number generator script:


Code:
function randomizer(min,max){
return min+random(max-min);
}

output=randomizer(1,5);

gotoAndStop(output);
The script seems to work in Flash when I test it, but when I export it and include it in the web page, it stays on the first frame.

This is the code for the Flash object on the webpage:

Code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="700" height="316">
<param name="movie" value="ranBan.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="ranBan.swf" width="700" height="316" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>
I have tried what I think are several logical methods but none seem to work. One I tried is creating a movie clip, and having that clip onEnterFrame the above script, with the 5 banners/5 frames in the clip, but this ends up continuously looping.

Please excuse me if I have failed to provide any critical information, I am a beginner.

Thank you,

Murray S.

Random Frame: To Display Background
I have a movie clip placed on the first frame within the main timeline.

- The movie clip contains 4 frames, each frame has a different image.
- I want to display one of these frames at random every time the game loads.

- What script would i need to target a random frame within this movieclip?
- Would this script be placed on the main timeline?

Any help, much appreciated

I Couldn't Able To Do Control Sound By Using Single Button In Single Frame....
Hai All,

I've developed file with sound control. But i would like to do in single frame control by using buttons.

Actually i've to place mp3 files in each frame and it should be controled by on/off button. When file loading the audio should start play and button should be in OFF state.

When user click the button to make it sound on then audio should play. Every frame will be in stop action. So user will listen audios by clicking next button to go next frame to listem next frame audio.

So If user stops the audio in frame 1 and it should be globally controlled in rest of frames and if sound on globally for next frame audio.

Right now i developed by using:
frame 1:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("Audio1");

and placed one movie clip in stage. Inside movieclip two button[on and off] in two frames separately.

Inside movieclip frame1:
this._parent._parent.my_sound.start();
stop();

and for ON button:
on (release){
this._parent._parent.my_sound.start();
gotoAndStop(2);
}

Frame2:
this._parent._parent.my_sound.stop();
stop();

and for OFF button:
on (release){
this._parent._parent.my_sound.stop();
gotoAndStop(1);
}

I hope somewhere i did mistake...

Can you please help me on this and give me an idea to make it.

Thanks

Random Frame Stops Working When Images Are Used
Hello,
I have built a movie (Flash MX 2004 Porfessional) with the objective of going to a different frame each time the page loads. The movie works fine when I only have text in any of the frames. As soon as I add an image to any of the frames the ramdomization quits working. On top of that, the behavior is Opera/Netscape and IE is different.

In IE, the movie always displaysframe 1 (no content, just the actionscript).

In Opera/Netscape the movie always displays frame 2 (the first frame with content).

The code:

code:
var randomFrame; // Stores the randomly picked frame number
var numFrames; // Stores the total number of frames on the timeline
numFrames = _totalframes; // Assign _totalframes property to numFrames

// Pick a random frame
randomFrame = Math.floor(Math.random( ) * numFrames + 2);

gotoAndStop(randomFrame); // Send playhead to chosen random frame


I have attahed the file for convenience sake.
You can also see the behavior by going to the following two links:

with images (not working)
http://www.prophegy.com/temp/flash.html

w/o images (working):
http://www.prophegy.com/temp/flash2.html

Any insight into why this happens is greatly appreciated!!

Need To Display Multiple Font In Single Text Field
Hi All,
I am working on a flash application which would have a text field displaying multiple fonts in it. I have embedded the fonts and have added it to the library.I can view them in my computer whereas when viewed in another computer without the font used, display is different.

Add a <font face="library font one">registered mark </font>directly (®) or <font face="library font two"> with a Unicode escape sequence</font>

After the fonts are embedded size of the swf does go up. What could be wrong?

How Do I Display Data From 2 Lists In A Single Barchart Component
Hello Everybody,

I'm new to flash. I'm using the flash barchart component, which gets the values from a cfc via remoting. See the below code. It magically works.

var theData = new DataProviderClass();
var items = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < list_temp.length; i++) {
items = {bytes: "", value: list_temp};
}

for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
theData.addItem(items);
}

myChart.setDataProvider(theData);

In the code above I'm looping through the list (list_temp - ex: 100,200,300,400,500) and pushing its contents in a array (items). Looping through the array and pushing the values to the top of the chart's data provider and finally setting the instance of the chart component with the data.

So all this works fine. I want to now pass another list of data to the same chart. So I want the chart to display the data from two lists. I don't know how to do this and need your help.

Basically I want my graph to represent the sales figures in the current month and sales figures in the last month. If possible display the sales figures in two different colors. I hope this is making sense. Please help

Load Single Mc At Random Interval
I have a mc &amp;quot;bird&amp;quot; on the root timeline I would like to load randomly between 15-30 seconds. It is the same mc over and over, I just want to break up its pattern a bit with a random load. On the bird mc I have the following:


function go() {
_root.loadMovie("mc1");
}
setInterval(go, 100000);


HOWEVER, this gives me the following error after 10 seconds:
Error opening URL &amp;quot;file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/John/Desktop/mc1&amp;quot;

Anyway....if anyone that knows what they are doing can help lead the blind (me), I would appreciate it. Again... being able to set a min and max interval time and randomly load the same movie clip on the main time line is what the goal is.

Using Flash Pro 8 AS 2.0

Load Images Into A Single MC
I have a single rectangular movie clip (see diagram) where I want to load several images into it.

At the moment, when I use the lines:


Code:
main.loadMovie("image0.jpg");
main.loadMovie("image1.jpg");
main.loadMovie("image2.jpg");
Obviously, only image2.jpg appears. I want to load 3/4 images and have them appear in the format shown in the diagram. How can I achieve this? Plus, how can I position these images and text with the MC?

For the record. I'm using Claudio's scroller. Therefore, I intend this MC and the images & text within it to be scrollable.

Thanks

[F8] Random Placement Of Mc That Grows Out From A Single Point
Hopefully I can do a decent job of explaining what I'm trying to accomplish. Currently I'm using this code to duplicate an animated (growing) circular movie clip across the stage to reveal a masked image:

Code:
X = 0; // X StartPoint of the MoveiClip ( Growing Animated MC)
Y = 0; // Y StartPoint of the MoveiClip ( Growing Animated MC)

dupliX = _parent.mcImage._width / 50; // Number of Duplication in X-Axis with respect to the width of the Image
dupliY = _parent.mcImage._height / 50; // Number of Duplication in Y-Axis with respect to the height of the Image


for (i=0; i<dupliY; i++) {
X = 0;
for (j=0; j<dupliX; j++){
duplicateMovieClip("mcItem", "mcItem"+i+"_"+j, this.getNextHighestDepth());
eval("mcItem"+i+"_"+j)._x = X + 15;
eval("mcItem"+i+"_"+j)._y = Y + 55;
X += 50;// X position change with in the line
}
Y += 50; // Line Change
}


I want to introduce random placement. rather than having these masks all in allignment across the page I want them to duplicate and appear in random locations across the stage.

I imagine I'll have to set boundries with variables as to where the mc can be duplicated. Something like this:

Code:
xMin = 0;
xMax = 500;
yMin = 0;
yMax = 280;

How do I then get the placement to happen randomly?

That is step 1, but then I'd like to figure out how I could incorporate everything I just described and tweak it so that the duplicated mcs would grow from a certain point on the stage.

This process would have to happen over time and continue to grow. For example, if you use x=50 & y=120 start point, the first 3 duplicated mcs would apear within lets say within 100px from the org. start point and that would happen within the the first 1/2 sec. Next, the duplication would happen again but this time within 200px of the startpoint duplicating 6 more mcs and again in a 1/2 sec. this would continue until the stage was full and the image was fully revealed. Is this even possible?

Fps In A Single-frame App
Hi guys.

I'm developing an app in flash, and it only has a single frame in the timeline, everything is scripted.
Since it's my very first flash work when i started it i left the "fps" settings in my main fla in the default 12fps that Flash8 has. Now i have a few dragable components into my stage and they are working great but if i wonder if increasing the fps would do the drag looks more smoothly... because i've read that fps determines the "refreshing" of everything, Is that true?

If it is..are there any cons on increasing fps?
In the other hand those dragable elements are imported to library from other fla's...is there any difference changing those fla's fps?

Thanks!

HELP Print Single Frame
Hello. Thanks for the peek. I am trying to print a single frame from my flash MX .exe. I have tried the #p labeled frame in an MC but it isn't working. This is action for the print button:

on (release) {
print("_root.1big", "bframe");
}

1big is a movie clip (instance name) on the main timeline. The MC only has one frame and it is labeled #p. It is presently trying to print all frames. What do I do?? Have searched the forum but the answers are cloudy and that is if they are even answered.

Thanks,

Preloading A Single Frame?
Can you use a preloader to load a single frame?

I've got a game I made that's a maze. The squares are colored, and depending on the state of the movement token, you can move the token around.

All is well in the stand-alone player, but when I try it in IE, half the time the maze isn't colored, but simply comes out white (the default color of the squares).

I'm thinking that it might be some kind of load-time issue, and the execution is somehow getting truncated. I've attached the file. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Pre-loading A Single Frame...
Running Flash 5.0.

Here's the scenario: I know how to make your traditional "if frame is loaded" pre-loader, but that won't work for what I'm trying to do. On my site, I have the option to load music into a level of my main .swf. The music file is basically a .swf with 3 key frames:

1. if frame 3 is loaded, goto and play 3
2. goto and play frame 1
3. music file

But I deceided I wanted to try something new. I want to put a "loading progress" bar into it so the user can tell how far along the download is, but I don't know a way to program the file to determine the progress of a single frame.

Does anyone out there know how I can do this? It'd be a BIG help

Printing A Single Frame

Refresh A Single Frame?
Hello all, I have a slight problem. I have a frame with 20+ movable MCs on it. I also have a button on the bottom that will refresh the frame. In essence I just want it to put all the MC's back to their start position, visibility, etc.

I have the same button on another frame and the


on (release) {
gotoAndStop (4);
}

works perfect there, but the same code on the button that is ON frame 4 doesn't do anything.

Is there something simple I can put on this button to refresh that frame only?

Right now I just have the Frame 4 button gotoAndPlay (3) then when it plays it comes back to Frame 4, but that looks stupid.

Any Ideas?

I am using MX Pro 2004 if it matters.

Thanks!

Won't Work On A Single Frame...
Hi All - I am hoping that someone can put me right on this...

I am trying to integrate a lightbox type of effect into my fla - the fla basically consists of a single frame timeline - with content contained in a movieclip

I have got the lightbox working fine - but it needs to be on two frames - the first frame of the timeline has this script...

PHP Code:




myListener.onResize = function () {
centerItems(); // called when you resize
}
centerItems(); // called on load
Stage.addListener(myListener);







and this is on the second frame:


PHP Code:




var cb:ThickBox = new ThickBox ();
CENTERpages.img1.onRelease = function() {
    cb.loadThickBox ('img01.jpg', 'loader_mc');
};
CENTERpages.img2.onRelease = function() {
    cb.loadThickBox ('img02.jpg', 'loader_mc');
};
CENTERpages.img3.onRelease = function() {
    cb.loadThickBox ('img03.jpg', 'loader_mc');
};
CENTERpages.img4.onRelease = function() {
    cb.loadThickBox ('img04.jpg', 'loader_mc');
};







when I drop the second frame script onto a layer of the first frame of the timeline the resize/centered effect won't work!

the fla also calls this script to set the lightbox up - how can I make this work in a single frame timeline???

Only Get Single Frame When Reimporting Swf
Hi,

I work for a company where one guy made an animation and exported it as a swf file, then got fired, and the fla file was erased. I need to import the swf file as single frames to change it but I only get the first frame.

Also for some reason I was able to import it this way before, but now I can't. I saved the original swf file, so I don't even understand why I only get a single frame now when I was able to import it before.

How can I import all the frames to a new fla file?

Loop Single Frame With AS
I have a main timeline with 3 frames. I use AS2 to pause them, with

PHP Code:



function pause(){

play();

clearInterval(timer);

};


stop();

timer = setInterval(pause, 2500);




in the first frame, and just


PHP Code:



stop();
timer = setInterval(pause, 5000);




on the next two.
It's basically a slideshow, with no fancy transitions or animation.
However, on frame two, I have a Movie Clip with an animation that plays for 60 frames/4 seconds. I'm AS noob, but assume the stop hinders the MC playing.
What I want is this frame to play (or loop ?) for 4 seconds, preferably with AS, instead of inserting frames in the main timeline for the duration of the MovieClip.

The solutions I've found so far all involve scripts with two or more frames.
Any help, hints and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Single Frame Actionscript
Hey Guys,

My coding conventions for AS suck. Since my start with actionscript I've been attaching my code to objects and their instances. My larger projects become almost too convoluted to debug and I am in desperate need to change my habits to a single location for all my actionscript. My question is regarding attaching movieclips and the standard convention.

For Example:
Lets say I set up a basic site that has 3 pages (each a movieclip) and I attach them using simple buttons calling an attachMovie() function. Since I'm attaching the pages I can't define the unique functions for each page until after they've been attached.

Is it recommended to avoid the attachMovie function and rather hide the already attached clips?
Or would it be recommended to create an initialize function for each page?
Or is there some better standard?

I want to make the move to writing better code so all advice helps

Thanks,
theitalianone

Replaying A Single Frame
This question seems very elementary, and I'm surprised that after using Flash for a few years, I've never come across an ideal solution. I've come up with several satisfactory ways to work around the issue, but never a direct solution. Anyway...the question - How can I replay a single frame until some condition is met? For example (I realize this is not practical and could be handled with a for loop, but just for the sake of simplicity):

Frame 20
if (c == 1000){
trace("i'm done");
stop();
}
else{
c++;
gotoAndPlay(20); // <-- I realize this doesn't work, but it's the idea I want
}

How can I accomplish this without adding an extra movie clip or using 2 frames? Thanks.

Different Frame Rates In A Single Fla?
Hi all,

I've created a simple animation which I have exported as an swf. I really want to be able to have lots of this animation duplicated all on one fla document, each playing at different speeds. Is there any way of having several swf files playing in a single fla all at different frame rates (or any other way of varying the speeds?).
thanks in advance! Beet.

Single Button That Loads Multiple Images
hello all- i'm working on a project using flash 4-is there a way to command a single button to load consecutive images? for instance-first click loads image A, next click loads image B etc- then have a second "back up" button which can "back up" the photos if the viewer wants to go back and review an earlier photo.
i'm aware of a "scroll strip" where i would connect all the photos together and use a mask- but i'm very concerened about load time- these are fairly large photos-thus my reluctance to load them all into one frame. each page will have about 10-15 photos!
any help will be most appreciated.
thanks

Enter Key In Single Frame Chat
I'm working on a Flash/ASP chat application and have everything working BUT the enter key. I want the enter key to submit the comment the same way clicking the button does. The movie is only a single frame long.

In one layer, I have this action script:


Code:
function onChange(component) {
if (component._name == "btnGo") {
addComment()
}
if (component._name == "btnLogOff") {
getURL("leavechat.asp?isession="+isession)
}

}
function addComment() {
varComments = new LoadVars();
varComments.NewComment = myComment.Text;
loadVariablesNum("addcomment.asp?isession="+isession,0,"POST");
myComment.Text = "";
myComment.setFocus;
}
In another layer, I have:


Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
addComment();
}
The enter key submits the form maybe 75% of the time but the other 25% of the time you have to hit the enter key twice or even three times to get it to go!

Any help would be appreciated!
