-=Random Dynamic Text=-

Hi, I made a dynamic textbox on an error page, and i’m gonna load 1 text file, but the text file contains 4 or 5 phrases. Can anyone tell me how to randomly select 1 phrase and show it?

Thanx a lot.

separate each phrase with a &.

ie. &kirupatext0=hello&kirupatext1=bye&kirupatext2=go

then for your script to load the txt file, modify the variable such that it picks a random number which then attaches to another string, thus picking a random string
eg

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("kirupa.txt");

loadText.onLoad = function() {
		scroller.text = this."kirupatext"+random(2);
};

well, i’m not too sure if the scripting part is correct, but that’s the rough idea.
[size=1]sorry if the coding part’s not right, do play around till you get it. don’t have time to try it out now and i’m not an AS expert :P[/size]
