[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][FONT=&quot]Hello, [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][FONT=&quot]I am wondering if anyone can help me with this. I need it to be in Action script 3 though. I did find a tutorial on this website that is labeled “loading random movies” but its written for a very old version of flash from 2004. [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][FONT=&quot]I am trying to load multiple swfs into a main swf one after another. So after one plays the next one plays etc. I need it to be random as well. As in I am going to be taking some swfs out then putting new ones in the rotation. This is a “slideshow” so to speak of different swfs displaying current promotions and when the promos are over I need to remove them from the rotation. I right now have one big long swf that contains all the different rotated promos… I hope this was easy to understand. [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2][FONT=&quot]I have some action script knowledge I did take an action script 3 class a couple years ago, but like anything else, if you don’t use it often you forget a lot of it! Thank you to anyone who can help me!!![/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
