RE: FLASH: random Tell target

[Patrick Moore]

John,

	sorry if I'm supposed to be sending this to everyone, but I'm unsure

as to whether I've been offed from the list due to the fact that any mails

to me would have been bouncing up until recently because of a spelling error

in the email setup.


I want to do exactly what this guy below (the quacking guy) wanted to do. I

have done exactly as you have said and it doesn't work


Firstly I had the string lateral thing happening, so I changed this to

Expression (=). However, when the button is clicked, it doesn't show

anything in the output window. 


With the string lateral, it says "Target not found: Target=""/xmas" & Random

(3)" Base="_level0"


Could you please give me any help on this. It's a screen saver, and I need

the random function to be internal, not with java etc. THANKYOU THANKYOU

THANKYOU


Patrick
