Thanks for the reply. It somewhat works now however it will only show 1 of the movie clips at a time. I want it to display both movie clips representing subscripts for the checmical equations. I’m not too sure what I’m doing wrong??

		var VALUE2:Number = Math.round((Math.random() * 10)+1);
	}
	var randOp:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (Operator.length - 1));
	var randAlpha:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (myalpha.length - 1));
	var tmpequation:String = VALUE.toString() + "" + myalpha[randAlpha] + " " + Operator.toString()+ ""+VALUE2.toString() + "" + myalpha[randAlpha] + " ";
	//Generates the random equation and current equation holds the current equation we are on
	myChemEq.push(tmpequation);
	
	var counter=Math.round(Math.random())
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {

```
