XML to call a random image

programming web dev

Hi, I have an XML flash gallery which uses

<img>photoGallery/img1.jpg</img>

to call an image.

Is there a way to use the <img></img> tags and call a random image from a folder?

Thanks

[quote=fasterthanlight™;2323161]this isn’t an XML problem,

its how you are manipulating the XML from within flash,

you probably have a For loop which iterates through your XML to output the value into an array,

Just output whatever is in your array with a random function.

var someArray:array = [“value1”, “value2” … ]
var randomInt:number = random(someArray.length);

trace (someArray[randomInt]);[/quote]

Hello,

I’m trying to do the exact same thing here. I have a movie clip on my stage which holds multiple images. I’d like that movieclip to display random images from my XML file. I used the code above just to see what would happen and I receive the following error:

1180: Call to a possible undefined method random

I’m using the same code as above:

var someArray:Array = ["value1", "value2", "value3", "value4", "value5", "value6" ]
var randomInt:Number = random(someArray.length);

trace (someArray[randomInt]);

Any ideas why that’s not working?

He said that the code wasn’t copy-and-paste-able. This code has a similar effect.

Math.floor(Math.random() * someArray.length)

hey…

there is no XML codes by which you can bring random images…the use above told you the way is the right way to add random images in flash…
