just a quick nooby question really. I’m pretty new to as2.

Basically I want each individual pudding to get a random number between 1 and 2 then rotate either clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on the result. However they all seem to be rotating the same way.

Here’s my code:

```auto
var random1_2;
function getRandom1_2() {
    random1_2 = (Math.floor(Math.random()*2)+1);
}

var puddingXY = [[34.3,69.6],[490.3,69.6],[34.3,433.6],[488.3,433.6]];

for (i=0; i<puddingXY.length; i++) {
    var pudding:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("pudding", "pudding"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
    pudding._x = puddingXY*[0];
    pudding._y = puddingXY*[1];
    //start at random rotation
    pudding._rotation = Math.floor(Math.random()*360+1);
    
    getRandom1_2();
    
    pudding.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if(random1_2 == 1) {
            this._rotation += 3;
        } else {
            this._rotation -= 3;
        }
    }
}

```

I’m sure it’s a simple answer, but like I said I’m pretty new.  
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
