[font=Arial]Hey all, Does anyone know how to correctly load a random movie into an MC based on an interval time? For example: I have three movies. 1.swf, 2.swf and 3.swf that will load into an MC every 10 secs. It should be a completely random event not based on a page refreash. I have attached the code that I’m working with below. The issue that I’m having is that sometimes a movie will load in repeatedly (2-3 times). The movies are roughly the same size.

function randommovie() {  
filename = [“1.swf”, “2.swf”, “3.swf”];  
path = “banners/champions/”;  
i = filename.length;  
k = Math.floor(Math.random()\*i);  
loadMovie(path+filename[k], \_root.championStage);  
}  
randommovie();  
setInterval(randommovie, 10000); [/font]
