How do you load a random jpeg or swf file into a main swf file? Cheers. ---

If your pics or swf are named 1.jpg 2.jpg or 1.swf 2.swf and so on you could put this code in your first frame:[AS]empty.loadMovie(random(5)+".jpg");[/AS] Of course you have to create an empty MC, place it on your scene and call it empty (or whatever you like…) 5 is the number of pictures that you should load. All files has to be in the same folder, otherwise you have to specify where the pics are. [size=1][edit][/size] The random() function is deprecated, but I still use it… Easier to write than Math.random… But if you use Math.random the code would be: [AS]empty.loadMovie(Math.floor(Math.random()\*5)+".jpg");[/AS] ---
