I am making a movie with a couple of scenes, say 5, and i want those scenes to play randomly after the movie loaded. I’ve tried few ways, but they didnot work. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

You could setup a few conditions to pick which scene to play:

```auto
scene = random(5)+1;
switch (scene) {
case 1 :
	gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
	break;
case 2 :
	gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
	break;
case 3 :
	gotoAndPlay("Scene 3", 1);
	break;
case 4 :
	gotoAndPlay("Scene 4", 1);
	break;
case 5 :
	gotoAndPlay("Scene 5", 1);
	break;
}

```

hi, claudio. looks like i got more to ask: my intention is to ask the movie to play all 5 scenes, but randomly , each time when a reflesh button is cliked. what i did so far was to tell the movie starts playing from scene 1 to scene 5. can i make it starts from, say scene 2, than 1, 5, 4, 3, something like that, but randomly? thanks
