RE: FLASH: random question

[Paul Willoughby]

anybody have an idea of the way best way to generate a random number between

certain paramaters. Here's my attempts to get a random number between 260

and 290:


loopwhile (n > 260)

 SetVariable: n = Random (290)

loop


This always seem to produce 261 (why?). It also seems pretty inefficient.

Would this be better (I can't try it at the moment as I've just had to

replace my sodding hard drive and I haven't installed Flash yet as the

sodding administrator is too lazy *bad day*)


SetVariable: n = (Random (30) + 261)


Anyone's help would be great


Paul

Julie,


The F4 random function returns values starting with 0 (not 1), so you'll

want to

add 2 to skip frame 1.


HTH,
