Heres the deal. I’ve found tutorials that show how to randomly load from a selection of movie clips. My problem is, I have two clips that load on top of each other. Ones a blurred image, the other is a clear, and when you move a mask over the image, it goes from blurry to clear. Right?

But I want a different image to load everytime. Problem is that I need both the random blurry and clear pictures to be the same! No point moving your mouse over a blurred picture of a mountain only to find a clear river underneath, right?

You could write a condition that examines the random image before it is loaded, if it equals image13.jpg, then image13b.jpg loads also.

I’m completely new to flash; any chance you could give me an example of how to do that?

I’ll see if I can figure it out myself until then…

Something like

```auto
//pictures have names like image1.jpg/image1b.jpg, image2.jpg/image2b.jpg,..etc
var nroffPic = 5;
var randomPic = Math.ceil(Math.random()*nroffPic);
blurredContainer.loadMovie("image"+randomPic+"b.jpg");
clearContainer.loadMovie("image"+randomPic+".jpg");

```

?
