Ahhh I got it, the "instance" thing is what had me. it's perfect!

let me ask you 1 last question. To animate it from blurry to normal *(to give it that motion look) I made 10 different instances...

I'm making an assumption that the Action Script you posted is supposed to sort of animate a blur? I'm not getting any blur at all, static or otherwise.

I have the image in a "foto" MC with the...

I've been looking at different screensaver creators, and all of the decent ones I've seen. They simply take an existing SWF and compile it into a Screensaver. I'm interested in making a screensaver,...

thanks man, that will save me a ton of time and work :)


lemme ask you bro, I have very little experince with actionscripting, I put this on frame 1 of a MC with the image in it.
then I put the...

Ok, after messing with other ideas, I got it looking pretty decent with 6 images, going from 50% motion blur, with each dropping 10% and the final being the original image.

it still didn't look...

I know how this effect should be accomplished, the example I posted shows it done well. For the life of me I can't get this effect to look more then semi-shoddy.

Here is what I did, I took an...

I have a lot of text content I want to have in my new Flash. I created a text box, and paste the text in. I select "justify" and it looks fine on the screen, but when I preview or export it, the...

This is actually a font I *use* to have. This is the only sample I have of it. it's been PS'ed with bevel and drop shadow. I have found a few similar but I can't for the life of me find the exact...

Maybe it's my version of Flash? I just bought Studio MX 2004 and I know the Actionscript is a bit different from MX 2003 (which I never used) I'm using the the exact file you posted, with the goto...

I tried about 50 different things but none worked.

this is in frame one of you file, exactly as you posted

//gotoAndStop(Math.floor(Math.random() * 9 + 2));
gotoAndPlay(2);

as stupid as I...

Ok, I messed with it for half a day before I repsonded again trying to figure it out myself.

the example you uploaded only goes to frame 2, the second action in the first frame is gotoandplay...

SHEESE that was easy. I uploaded the wrong FLA for you to look at, I had saved another with the label on the frame and not the scene.

_root.gotoAndPlay("label-scene2"); saved me I wouldn't have...

I really appericate the help! let me post the FLA, I know I've only been messing with it about 20 minutes, but the 2nd scene thing is really confusing me. It's showing frame 1 from scene two BEFORE...

that worked (thank you) but I have a few questions.

Should that go on frame 1 with no keyframe? I have it set where frame 1 has the code you posted. And, it'll play a frame random, but...

I know this has been asked a bunch of times, but I'm stuck getting a random MC to work. I searched the messages on here and tried some of them, but I cannot get it to actually be random.
...

Sorry about the delay? YOU HELPED ME. I never complain about help, I am gracious for the help you gave me man. I tell you I wouldn't have figured it out on my own. I really need to go by a Flash...

actually no animations yet, I figured a static frame would be just as good for testing reasons.

this is very crude. I didn't want to dive in any deeper until I figured this out. I'm sure even...

ok I tried that, it still sticks on frame 2 (first frame with content) What am I doing wrong? this is Flash MX?

I made 5 frames, put the code you suggested in 1, in 2-5 I put one word, just as a...

humm the program is actually Winamp3, it uses XML in the scripting for skins. this skin had an image slide show window, I thought it would be real easy to mod it. I never thought 9 could be a hard...

I have this program that has a slide show going on, so I looked into the XML files for what I thought were all the pointers to the images. here is what I found

< layer id="4" image="player.4"...

Thanks I'll try that man, oh BTW I'm running Flash MX, I know that makes a difference.

crap I hit "new" instead of reply, can't delete. So here goes ago

I want to turn an SWF into a ScreenSaver, since it will have interaction, I want to figure out how to insert random MC's. I have...

Ok, I suck. I put your example in. When I ran it it basically jumped threw all the frames, I noticed there as a stop command at the end too. So I put a stop on each frame to be randomized.

so...

killer man, well I'll go try what you posted and tell you if how it worked, thanks for the response! :)

I'm going to turn a SWF I'm working on into a Screen Saver. It will have no buttons or interaction. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is to have it randomize the begining part. I was looking...
