ok, let me start by saying I’m very new to AS3, and little confused as its sooooo different to AS2. So please go easy 🙂 I used to be able to do everything in Flash MX so easy now with new CS3, I feel like a retard!

Ok, All I am trying to load a bunch of random swf’s into a movieclip. This is an example of what I would have used in the past with AS2. What would I do now for AS3.

filename = [“1.swf”, “2.swf”, “3.swf”];  
path = [http://www.domain.com/swfs/banners;](http://www.domain.com/swfs/banners;)  
i = filename.length;  
k = Math.floor(Math.random()\*i);  
loadMovie(path+filename[k], placerMC);

Any hints?
