Re: FLASH: Someone PLEASE help me with Random Variables

[2Nerotik]

Remember using Random(5) will return these numbers 0 1 2 3 4 NOT 1 2 3 4 5


Random(5)+1 will correct this, other than that you aren't too clear on what 

the exact problem is.


Only other question I have is, are you loading ALL the quotes and then 

selecting a random one ?
