Re: FLASH: Randomization in Flash

[Cheri Harder]

You can have your Flash4 movie do the randomizing internally.  One way would

be to have your mc's in stopped frames named consecutively (like

"framename1" "framename2" etc.) and have an action in another frame (or

button, whatever) that uses the random function to concantenate the text

part of the frame name with the numerical part....like so:


Set Variable: "vframe" = "framename"&Random (5)

Go to and Stop (vframe)


Where 5 is the number of consecutively named frames...


HTH


(I don't think we had the "random" function in Flash 3...)
