You're right on all counts.  Sorry for my impatience and the messy way

I've asked for help.  It has led to a misunderstanding of what I am after.


Please take a look at:


http://www.vertigo.co.uk/flash


(The .fla is http://www.vertigo.co.uk/flash/index.zip)


I have achieved the easy bit, the 100% logo appearing every time the

user clicks the mouse.  What I would like to do now is to have one of

six logos appearing on the mouse click.  The logo to be randomly chosen.

 Also, each instance of the logo to be randomly scaled, say between 10%

and 300%.  As if this wasn't enough, I would like a sound to play on

each click.


Thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it.
