Hi everyone my name is Justin Lamoureux and i am new to actionscripting although i do know a little I dont know much… this is my problem I am trying to right a code that will help me make a random gotoAndPlay hits test script like you see the the popular game Pokemon. I have a character that is going over top of another movie clip but i want it to start generating random number and once it its a certain number i want it to go to the frame it is assigned to

this is what i have so far:

onClipEvent (enterFrame){  
if(\_root.guy\_mc.hitTest(this)){  
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()\*4+1);  
trace(randomNumber);

```
if(_root.random == 1(gotoAndPlay("battel1"))){
    gotoAndPlay("battle1");
}

```

///-- I even wrote it two different ways to see if it would work but it doesnt ---------/////

```
if(_root.randomNumber == 3){
    gotoAndPlay("battle2");

```

}  
}  
}

thanx for everyone who helps out
