just think that you have 3 pictures

put this on the first frame of the main timeline,

pictures = new Array(“pic1.jpg”, “pic2.jpg”,“pic3.jpg”); //you can put any no of pictures here  
no\_of\_pictures = pictures.length;  
random\_picture\_number = Math.ceil(Math.Random())\*no\_of\_pictures ; //generate random picture number  
\_root.loadMovie(pictures[random\_picture\_number],2);
