How do you make the screen go to a random frame that is inside a movie clip?

Howdy…

Create a random number and store it to the variable…

Use \_level0.yourMC.gotoAndPlay(yourRandomVariable) or \_level0.yourMC.gotoAndStop(yourRandomVariable) to do the job…

Easy, eh??? 🙂

```auto
onClipEvent (event you want) {
	this.gotoAndPlay(Math.ceil(Math.random()*this._totalframes));
}

```
