FLASH: Random Numbers

[Sean Renet]

Okay I am trying to make a paused timer of sorts.  The idea is that I want flash to pick a number between 1 and 300.  If the number is one of the four I have chosen, I want flash to play the associated frame.  If its not one of my chosen numbers, I want it to keep looking for a number til it hits one of my four.  Now this works for randomization of the play order of the frames, however it seems that flash is picking one of the four fairly often.  Is the random number function really this fast?  Can I make the number be huge like 1000000000?

Does anyone know anything about random number functionality?




If Frame Is Loaded (1)

      Set Variable: "chosen" = Random (500)

      If (chosen = 10)

            Go to and Play ("coming")

      Else If (chosen = 63)

            Go to and Play ("hol")

      Else If (chosen = 99)

            Go to and Play ("room")

      Else If (chosen = 302)

            Go to and Play ("thought")

      Else

            Go to and Play (2)

      End If

End Frame Loaded


(frame 2 just sends the loop back to frame 1)
