Hello KIRUPA,  
First of all, what a great site this is! I’m new here and have a question right away.

I was doing this tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)

and succesfully completed it! Great tutorial. But now I was wondering. How do I make the first Image random?

First image function:

```auto

function firstImage() { 
if (loaded == filesize) { 
picture._alpha = 0; 
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1); 
desc_txt.text = description[0]; 
picture_num(); 
} 
}

```

Thanks In Advance!
