Its possible to perform randomizing in Flash, but from wat I know it

requires some user interaction, so for Screensaver, I don't know whether

this can be done, as there won't be any user interaction involved right ?


The basic logic goes like this..

All you need to create a movie clip (call random) that contains different

graphics at each frame (say 6 different graphics in 6 frames), and then a

button to stop the movie clip (use tell target to stop 'random') when user

click on it. since the movie clip is always animating, user can get

different result each time he clicks the button. (See example at Smashing

Idea - Say Uncle Concentration Game =>

I'm still testing whether this results can be obtained without the use of

buttons (that's user interaction)...Hmm...


adios,

mingo
