Randomize

[Kahlil]

I want to randomize the loading of images and movies. I want to know if there is a way to load the links into arrays and randomize the variable to load.

What would be the ideal script to achieve this, either movies or graphics. I want that each times it reloads I am able to to see a different image-movie-or animation.

If you use Math.random(#) where "#" is the highest number of random variations you want, you can use this for mutiple things: go to a random frame in a movie clip, go to a random scene, load a random movie clip, etc.

jesse's done the code for you:

So the magic line would be something like

Onloadmovie(Math.randomize("bob1"+"bob2"))

Actually, it would be more like this:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
     bobNum = Math.random(2)+1;
     loadMovie("bob"+bobNum+".swf",_root.bobMovie);
};

Every time you go to the frame that includes this code it loads a random external .swf into the target: _root.bobMovie. Either "bob1.swf" or "bob2.swf" respectively.
