Need help making random numbers

1

I’m new to flash and i need to(by clicking a button) generate numbers between 1 and 10. I’ve seen other postings to do similar things such as this, but where would i put the action script, on the button? And what would be the action script for my dilemma?
If you could help me i’d really appreciate it!
thanx

You could put it on the button… let’s say you want to display the random number in a text field called ‘myNum’ on the main timeline:

on (press)
{
_root.myNum.text = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;
}

Thanx, i got it to work.

You could also put together a method that will return a random float within a given range…


trace( randomRange(1, 10) );

function randomRange( min:Number, max:Number ) : Number
{
   return (Math.random() * (max-min)) + min;
}

That should do it, you can also choose whether you want it rounded or not…
