Im working on a page that displays a random quote. So I have got my files with a quote in each, but I cant get the variable script in flash to get a random file name instead of having to specify one. How can I do this?

Also, is there any reason for the text that comes up in the text box automatically resizing itself so that it fits exactly in the box? Its just that I want it to always be size 14 but it changes each time :look:
