swf random looping

Chris_Pierik Nov 24, 2006 12:17 PM

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?

when do you want to load another from the list? after the previous swf has completed play? if so, do you want to avoid duplicates until they've all played?

yes, i would like the next swf to play after the previous plays. maybe it needs to load before the end of the last clip so it's sort of seamless. i'm new at this so i'm not really sure how it would work or if it's possible.

i'm not too concerned about avoiding duplicates. although if it's not too much of a hassle that would be nice.

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

A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run...etc.

there's nothing in that code that would result in that error. you have a for-loop or while-in loop that's not terminating within a few seconds.
