I’ve tried 3 different scripts for a random loading image layer and none of them work. Does anyone have code/script for this that will work for Flash 5? I’m totally hung up at this stage and can’t move on with the page or site until I have this aspect resolved. I’d be really grateful if anyone can help… ---

This is what my code looks like so far… choice = Math.round(Math.random()\*3); switch (choice) { case 0 : location.loadMovie(“quote0.swf”); break; case 1 : location.loadMovie(“quote1.swf”); break; case 2 : location.loadMovie(“quote2.swf”); break; } ---

```auto _root.choice = random(3); if(_root.choice == 0) { _root.location.loadmovie("quote0.swf"); } ``` just do the if statement for each should work… i just used a variation of that code for my footer yesterday to pick a random answer ---
