Hi, I’ve got this:

[AS]gotoAndStop(random(5)+1);  
//or  
this[“btn”+(random(5)+1)].onPress();[/AS]  
But I’m having troubles telling it to ignore the current frame or MC its on. I only need it to randomise to something else… not what its already on.

Any ideas? perhaps it needs to set a few variables, then do a quick function check before actually randomising?

Thanks for your time.
