i have tried several solution i have found for this problem but cant get any to work.  
i want a button in flash as3 to goto and stop at a random frame. (ie a frame between 20 and 30)  
below is what i thought would work, although i have tried other code this is what makes most sense to me;

stop();

/\*random number bit  
\*/

function randomNumber(low:Number=20, high:Number=30):Number

{  
return Math.floor(Math.random() \* (1+high-low)) + low;  
}

/\*THE BUTTON ACTION  
\*/

movieClip\_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl\_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);

function fl\_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
gotoAndStop(randomNumber);  
}

please help  
cheers
