hey,

i am very new to this,its my first programming experience..
however,i have a project in mind, i think could be done with processing.after lots of search, i decided to ask for help with the code.

so,id like to make an array of images, and when mouseClicked a random pic should be displayed in the middle of the background,untill the next mouse click.

also,im curious,if i can make more than one arrays. as to make three random "picture generators" next to each other on one screen?

thanx for any kind of help..i keep on searching for answers,myself.

anna

great..
i knew its gonna be pretty simple,i just couldnt figure it out..thank you.

well,then i have another question,if i may..

is it possible to add music/mp3 to the pictures,so when displayed also a sound would follow?
or else, can an array contain also pictures and mp3 /so the random option would either display an image or play a sound/,or it has to be the same kind of "medium" in one array?

right,thanks a lot guys.
now step-by-step im compicating the whole thing.

now im trying to change it into a multi-screen project,with the MPE library.

the simple

Code:

PImage[] myImageArray = new PImage[5];

void setup() {
  size(1200,600);
  background(10,10,10);
  smooth();
}

void draw() { 
 imageMode (CENTER); 
  for (int i=0; i < myImageArray.length; i++) {
   myImageArray [0] = loadImage( "two.jpg");
   myImageArray [1] = loadImage( "three.jpg");
   myImageArray [2] = loadImage( "four.jpg");
   myImageArray [3] = loadImage( "five.jpg");
   myImageArray [4] = loadImage( "six.jpg");
  }
}

void mousePressed(){
  image(myImageArray[(int)random(5)],width/4,height/2);
  image(myImageArray[(int)random(5)],width-width/4,height/2);
} 

 

to the multiple with MPE /not finished/:

Code:

import mpe.client.*;
TCPClient client;

PImage[] myImageArray = new PImage[5];

void setup() {
  client = new TCPClient(sketchPath("mpe.ini"), this);
  size(client.getLWidth(), client.getLHeight());
  background(10,10,10);
  smooth();
  client.start();
}
void frameEvent(TCPClient c) {
  imageMode (CENTER); 
  for (int i=0; i < myImageArray.length; i++) {
   myImageArray [0] = loadImage( "two.jpg");
   myImageArray [1] = loadImage( "three.jpg");
   myImageArray [2] = loadImage( "four.jpg");
   myImageArray [3] = loadImage( "five.jpg");
   myImageArray [4] = loadImage( "six.jpg");
  }
}

void draw() { 
}

void mousePressed(){
  image(myImageArray[(int)random(5)],client.getMWidth()/4,client.getMHeight()/2);
  image(myImageArray[(int)random(5)],client.getMWidth()-client.getMWidth()/4,client.getMHeight()/2);
} 
 

however,im not sure how to set the code for the mousePressed to broadcast a message from one client to other clients.so when mouse pressed random pics will be displayed in all screens.
smthing with client.broadcast(); ??
can anyone help?

sorry for having so obvious questions,its the lack of experience.
thank you in advance..

look again at BenHem's post. you are loading 5 images 5 times each. this is bad. it's also needs to be in setup().
