I’ll try posting again since I didn’t get any bites, sadly. ☹

I don’t even know how to start with this. I have 15 movie clips on the stage, each with an animation within it, I need them to play at random, one after the other. Ideally, once there’s mousemovement, everything should reset.

I kind of understand the random function and how to generate numbers, and I know this will probably involve arrays, but I don’t know how to put this together.

Would GREATLY appreciate anyone’s help on how to start this.

Thanks.
