I’m loading in random SWF files into a header file with the following code:

```auto
loadMovie("headers/coldfx.swf","swf_mc");

var movieArray:Array = ["headers/coast.swf", "headers/coldfx.swf", "headers/enervest.swf", "headers/fairplay.swf", "headers/interpipe.swf", "headers/mantra.swf", "headers/westin.swf"];

function loadSwf() {
    swf_mc.loadMovie(movieArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*(movieArray.length-0))]);
}

function startMyInterval() {
    myInterval = setInterval(loadSwf, 30000);
}

startMyInterval();

```

I would love to be able to ensure that the same SWF is not loaded twice in a row.

Also I would like to be able to trace the loaded SWF. Is it possible to load the name of the currently loaded SWF into a variable or something?

Thanks!
