Hi

I need some actionscript that will give me a random number between -50 and 50. Been looking at it for a while now. Anyone got any ideas/solutions?

The main thing is, I need to create a random value which could be a neg or a positive number, on every frame. So far I can create a random value, but can’t get it to be neg one frame and positive the next.

Please help. Cheers
