I am trying to develop a mp3player. I know only the basics and I need somebody to please help me out witha couple of things: 1 is there a way to load an external mp3 file randomly from a list of files in a folder? is there a “rand” function (as in php) or something to get random numbers? 2 how can I display the ID3 tags? please help me out! thank you… ps. I am using k. bellew’s tutorial as a guide. ---

1. Use the Math.random() to get a random number. Search the forums, you’ll find tons of examples. 2. Check this: [http://www.flashguru.co.uk/000100.php](http://www.flashguru.co.uk/000100.php) ---

I’m reading about that Math.random(). do you know how to get just a number between 0 and 9? I can only get number betweeon 0 and 1 with it. ---
