I’m creating a magic 8-ball for my website, just a fun little thing to play with you know.

I’ve got an input field called “question” where you can type whatever you want, an ASK button called “ask” and a response field called “answer”. Once you enter a question and hit the ASK button I want flash to randomly reply in the “answer” field with YES, NO, MAYBE, DEFINATELY etc.

Do I need some kind of answers array to store all the answers and then call them at random into the “answers” field? Am I on the right track?
