The loops fades a random image, which works great the first time round,  
if i go to another page and then back the home page (which is where this code is on frame 1) the first image loads but the random image code does not continue.

## I think it has something to do with nextHolderBool Any ideas? Thanks

var numbers:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20];  
var numRemaining:Number;  
var randomIndex:Number;  
var currNumber:Number;  
var nextHolderBool:Number = 1;  
var nextHolder:Number;  
var currHolder:Number;  
var myLag:Number;  
var home = this;  
//  
var getNextImage:Function = function () {  
clearInterval(imageTimer);  
numRemaining = numbers.length;

```
//
randomIndex = Math.floor((Math.random()*numRemaining));
//
currNumber = numbers[randomIndex];
numbers.splice(randomIndex, 1);
//
nextHolderBool *= -1;
if (nextHolderBool == 1) {
	nextHolder = 1;
	currHolder = 2;
} else {
	nextHolder = 2;
	currHolder = 1;
}

mclswap.loadClip("gfx/homepageImages/image"+currNumber+".jpg", "mc_holder"+nextHolder);
if (numRemaining == 1) {
	numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20];
}

```

var mclswap:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
