var textboxarray:Array=new Array();
whitedice=Math.random()*6+1
reddice=Math.random()*6+1
 
for(var i:uint=1;i<row;i++){
dicechar*=new Array();
for(var j:uint=1;j<colum;j++){
dicechar*[j]=i+j
textboxarray.push("selec"+i+j)
trace(textboxarray.name)
if(contain("selec"+whitedice+reddice,textboxarray)==1){
textboxarray[that position].text=dicechar[reddice][whitedice]
}
}
}
function contain(input, arrayData) {
for (i=0; i<arrayData.length; i++) {
if (arrayData*==input) {
