Now before some smartass refers me to the random movie tutorial listen to my situation.

I have 5 movies within one flash file, and when the user clicks a button i want a movie to be loaded at random.

What would be the button code for this?

Thanks claudio, now I have the following code

on (release){  
movies\_array = [“Q1.swf”,“manny.swf”];  
loadMovieNum(movies\_array[Math.floor(Math.random()\*movies\_array.length)], 0);  
}

I have placed this code in a button, and it works fine, but it opens in a new window, and i want it to load into content, how do i modify this code so that it loads the random movies into content.

Could I use \_root.contents.loadMovie, if so where would I put this in the code above?

Thanks for ur help in support by the way!
