flash actionscript: Hi all,

I am calling a random swf movie out of 11 using the following:

choice = Math.round(Math.random()*11);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop0.swf");
break;
case 1 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop1.swf");
break;
case 2 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop2.swf");
break;
case 3 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop3.swf");
break;
case 4 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop4.swf");
break;
case 5 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop5.swf");
break;
case 6 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop6.swf");
break;
case 7 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop7.swf");
break;
case 8 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop8.swf");
break;
case 9 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop9.swf");
break;
case 10 :
loop_mc.loadMovie("loop10.swf");
break;
}

loop_mc is just an empty movie clip.

I'm trying to add a listener that then calls another random swf from the list,
but I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

you can start with:



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;
}
};
swfA = [];
for (var i = 0; i<11; i++) {
swfA.push("loop"+i+".swf");
}
swfA.shuffle();
dep = 0;
currentPlayingNum = 1;
currentLoadingNum = 1;
this.createEmptyMovie("loop_mc1", dep++);
this.loop_mc1.loadMovie(swfA[currentLoadingNum-1]);
loopI = setInterval(loopF, 50);
function loopF() {
var bl = this["loop_mc"+currentLoadingNum].getBytesLoaded();
var bt = this["loop_mc"+currentLoadingNum].getBytesTotal();
if (bl>0 && bl>=bt) {
if (currentLoadingNum<10) {
if (currentLoadingNum>1) {
this["loop_mc"+currentLoadingNum].stop();
}
currentLoadingNum++;
this["loop_mc"+currentLoadingNum].loadMovie(swfA[currentLoadingNum-1]);
this["loop_mc"+currentLoadingNum]._alpha = 0;
}
}
if (this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum]._currentframe ==
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum]._totalframes) {
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum]._visible = 0;
if (currentPlayingNum+1<11) {
var bl = this["loop_mc"+(currentPlayingNum+1)].getBytesLoaded();
var bt = this["loop_mc"+(currentPlayingNum+1)].getBytesTotal();
if (bl>0 && bl>=bt) {
currentPlayingNum++;
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum]._alpha = 100;
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum]._visible = 1;
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum].play();
}
} else {
currentPlayingNum = 1;
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum]._alpha = 100;
this["loop_mc"+currentPlayingNum].play();
}
}
}

i don't know if i'm missing something but i get an error message:

right, sorry.

Hi try this code....

var myClips:Array = new Array("buzz_teamplay1.swf", "buzz_teamplay2.swf",
"buzz_teamplay3.swf", "buzz_teamplay4.swf");
shuffle = function (arr1:Array) {
for (i=0; i<arr1.length; i++) {
var tmp = arr1[i];
var randomNum = random(arr1.length);
arr1[i] = arr1[randomNum];
arr1[randomNum] = tmp;
}
return (arr1);
};
trace("The Ordered Clips !");
trace(myClips);
myClips = shuffle(myClips);
trace("The Randomised Clips !");
trace(myClips);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bground", 1);
bground._x = 0;
bground._y = 0;
currentClip = 0;
function loadNextMovie() {
bground.loadMovie("buzzwords/"+myClips[currentClip]);
(currentClip<myClips.length-1) ? currentClip++ : currentClip=0;
}
loadNextMovie();
// Again you have to call the function at each movie clip last frame !

thanks everyone. i did it a different way with flvs.


import mx.video.*;
var listenUp:Object = new Object();
listenUp.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*11);
playMovie(randomNum);
};
cFLV.addEventListener("complete", listenUp);
function playMovie(rand) {
cFLV.contentPath = "flvs/flv_"+rand+".flv";
cFLV.play();
}
playMovie(Math.floor(Math.random()*11));
