I have a movie clip placed on the first frame within the main timeline.

- The movie clip contains 4 frames, each frame has a different image.

- I want to display one of these frames at random every time the game loads.

- What script would i need to target a random frame within this movieclip?

- Would this script be placed on the main timeline?

Any help, much appreciated  
Cheers
