Actionscript 2.0 - Simple Slideshow IN ORDER

Greetings,

Wonderful forum… lots of great questions and answers.

Here’s my deal. I’m doing the very simplest of slideshows which will later be exported to .swf and converted to a .scr.

The code I’m working off allowed the .swf to use a small bit of actionscipt to run through the bitmaps contained in the file. Looks like this:

with (_root.image.pics) {
gotoAndStop( Math.round( Math.random()* 20 ) );
}

Pretty elegant, methinks.

Alas, what I don’t know how to do is get these ■■■■ images to play IN ORDER. I’m sure it’s simple, but my searches have turned up zilch. I’ve tried increments (++) and I’m too much a Newb to know how to use arrays (like how I would call the images in my folder within an array - way over my head.)

Is there a simple way to get these images to get called in a range of some kind? Like “gotoAndStop(range 1-20)”?

I’ve been at this for a while now, and every tree I bark up has been the wrong one. For the sake of my hairline, can someone please offer me a quick bit of advise. My eternal gratitude awaits.

Regards,
Jason
