Hi all - hope you’re all well 🙂

I have a question regarding the Random Background image/swf tut.

The AS that does the work is this:  
[AS]on (release) {  
choice = Math.round(Math.random()\*5);  
switch (choice) {  
case 0 :  
location.loadMovie(“image0.swf”);  
break;  
case 1 :  
location.loadMovie(“image1.swf”);  
break;  
case 2 :  
location.loadMovie(“image2.swf”);  
break;  
case 3 :  
location.loadMovie(“image3.swf”);  
break;  
case 4 :  
location.loadMovie(“image4.swf”);  
break;  
case 5 :  
location.loadMovie(“image5.swf”);  
break;  
}  
}  
[/AS]

What I’d really like to do is make sure that on pressing F5 in the browser (IE) the next image is not a repeat of the previous randomly selected image.

Any ideas? (Sorry - me and AS still getting acquainted 🙂  
Thx for any help.
