FLASH: Controlling random event

[Danielle Roberts]

Hello,


I'm only just starting with programming and have a written a little script

that almost does what I want it to do.


I've created 4 buttons in 4 frames which, on roll out, make the playhead

jump at random to one of the 4 frames in the movie clip. I want a different

frame to play then the one from which the action was triggered, otherwise

nothing seems to happen. This is the script I use:


On (Roll Out, Drag Out)

   Set Variable: "frameno" = GetProperty ("", _currentframe )

   Go to and Stop ("1" & Random(4) + 1)

   If (GetProperty ("",_currentframe) eq frameno)

      Go to and Stop ("1" & Random(4) + 1)

   Else

      Stop

   End If

End On


This isn't quite working, somtimes it still plays the same frame. I think I

need to work with a loop but I don't know how that works.


Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance, regards, Danielle.
