Hi All,

This is a simple problem I’m sure, but complicated for me!

I want my movie, on loading, to start playing from a random frame. I know that in AS2 the code would be

```auto
gotoAndPlay (random (1825));

```

but I’m using AS3 and I can’t figure out how to achieve the same thing here.

Can someone help please?
