hi guys,
i have this code and cant work out how to make the fade in time be random, say between 1 and 10 seconds for instance.
thanks, its been a while since i played with AS.
//: SETUP VARIABLES
var maxVal = 4; // max number of fotos
var oldVar = 0; // keep track of previous random number
var newVar = 0; // used to load the next image
var si = 0; // interval variable
var desc = []; // create our description array
desc[0] = ‘Antigua’; // descriptiong for foto0.jpg
desc[1] = ‘Flag’s Emblem’; // descriptiong for foto1.jpg
desc[2] = ‘Village’ // descriptiong for foto2.jpg
desc[3] = ‘Mayan Girl’ // descriptiong for foto3.jpg
desc[4] = ‘Lake Atitlan’ // descriptiong for foto4.jpg
//: LOAD THE NEXT IAMGE
function getImage() {
newVar = Math.floor(Math.random() * maxVal); // get random number
if (newVar == oldVar) { // if number = old number…
getImage(); // get a number
} else { // else
oldVar = newVar; // set old to new number
container_mc.loadMovie (“fotos/foto” + newVar + “.jpg”); // load the next image
container_mc._alpha = 0; // set its alpha to 0
this.onEnterFrame = function () { // create loop
if (container_mc._width > 0) { // check that the image has been loaded
container_mc._x = Stage.width / 2 - container_mc._width / 2; // center movieclips to stage
container_mc._y = Stage.height / 2 - container_mc._height / 2 // center movieclip to stage
container_mc.onEnterFrame = fadeIn; // start fading out
desc_txt.text = desc[newVar]; // display the images description
delete this.onEnterFrame; // delete loop
}
}
}
}
//: FADE IN THE CURRENT MOVIECLIP
function fadeIn () {
if (this._alpha <= 100) { // if the movieclips alpha is greater than 0
this._alpha += 5; // reduce alpha by 5
} else { // else
this._alpha = 100; // reduce alpha to 0
delete this.onEnterFrame; // delete handler
si = setInterval(fadeOut, 2000); // after 2 seconds, fade out the movieclip
}
}
//: FADE OUT THE CURRENT MOVIECLIP
function fadeOut () {
clearInterval(si); // clear the interval variable
container_mc.onEnterFrame = function() { // create loop to fade out
if (this._alpha >= 0) { // if the movieclips alpha is greater than 0
this._alpha -= 5; // reduce alpha by 5
} else { // else
this._alpha = 0; // reduce alpha to 0
delete this.onEnterFrame; // delete handler
getImage(); // load the next image
}
}
}
// load first image
getImage();
