Can anyone please help …

I have created a flash movie which has four windows which I want to display randomly loaded swf’s at the same time … that part I have managed to patch together

my problem is as each mc randomly selects from one series of swf’s they often load the same swf to multiple windows

I would also like to make sure that each window does not load the same swf consecutively.

I think I need to get each mc to pull the files from an array and for each window to know what the other has selected so i don’t get duplicate swf’s loading at the same time …

I haven’t got a clue of how to do this??? so please help - I am not very clued up with code!!

Cheers rormac

heres what I have been working with - probably not done very well … mmmmm

script

```auto

filename = ["ad1c.swf", "ad2c.swf", "ad3c.swf", "ad4c.swf", "ad5c.swf", "ad6c.swf", "ad7c.swf", "ad8c.swf", "ad9c.swf", "ad10c.swf", "ad11c.swf", "ad12c.swf", "ad13c.swf", "ad14c.swf", "ad15c.swf"];
path = "";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget1);
filename = ["ad1c.swf", "ad2c.swf", "ad3c.swf", "ad4c.swf", "ad5c.swf", "ad6c.swf", "ad7c.swf", "ad8c.swf", "ad9c.swf", "ad10c.swf", "ad11c.swf", "ad12c.swf", "ad13c.swf", "ad14c.swf", "ad15c.swf"];
path = "";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget2);
filename = ["ad1c.swf", "ad2c.swf", "ad3c.swf", "ad4c.swf", "ad5c.swf", "ad6c.swf", "ad7c.swf", "ad8c.swf", "ad9c.swf", "ad10c.swf", "ad11c.swf", "ad12c.swf", "ad13c.swf", "ad14c.swf", "ad15c.swf"];
path = "";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget3);
filename = ["ad1c.swf", "ad2c.swf", "ad3c.swf", "ad4c.swf", "ad5c.swf", "ad6c.swf", "ad7c.swf", "ad8c.swf", "ad9c.swf", "ad10c.swf", "ad11c.swf", "ad12c.swf", "ad13c.swf", "ad14c.swf", "ad15c.swf"];
path = "";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget4);

```

Cheers again!
