Hi

I am busy creating a game and I really need some help with an ARRAY.  
This random array I have selects X amount of frames from a MovieClip on the stage.  
var type = random(7)+1;

But if I change the “7” to a higher number it justs selects more frames, but I need to modify it so that it selects a random 15 of a possible choice of 30 frames. So whenever var “type” is called it selects 15 random frames between 1-30.

SO basically there are 30 frames inside this MC and I need to call up a random 15 of these frames when the function is executed.

I hope you understand. I’m pretty certain there is a very easy way to do this, but I have been working on this game and fixing other problems for such a long time that I don’t think my brain is functioning normally… Ha ,ha.

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!! =)=)=):kir:
