hi,

I’m not really a coder so i’d love any help you could give. Basically I have 9 empty movie clips and I want them to be randomly filled with a jpg from external swfs which is fine but I don’t want any of the 9 movie clips to show the same image as any of the other 8.I think I should set up arrays but am not sure how they would work. here is the code for loading theempty movie clips

choice = Math.round(Math.random()\*24);  
switch (choice) {  
case 0 :  
location.loadMovie(“image0.swf”);  
break;  
case 1 :  
location.loadMovie(“image1.swf”);  
break;  
case 2 :  
location.loadMovie(“image2.swf”);  
break;  
case 3 :  
location.loadMovie(“image3.swf”);  
break;  
case 4 :  
location.loadMovie(“image4.swf”);  
break;  
case 5 :  
location.loadMovie(“image5.swf”);  
break;  
case 6 :  
location.loadMovie(“image6.swf”);  
break;  
case 7 :  
location.loadMovie(“image7.swf”);  
break;  
case 8 :  
location.loadMovie(“image8.swf”);  
break;  
case 9 :  
location.loadMovie(“image9.swf”);  
break;  
case 10 :  
location.loadMovie(“image10.swf”);  
break;  
case 11 :  
location.loadMovie(“image11.swf”);  
break;  
case 12 :  
location.loadMovie(“image12.swf”);  
break;  
case 13 :  
location.loadMovie(“image13.swf”);  
break;  
case 14 :  
location.loadMovie(“image14.swf”);  
break;  
case 15 :  
location.loadMovie(“image15.swf”);  
break;  
case 16 :  
location.loadMovie(“image16.swf”);  
break;  
case 17 :  
location.loadMovie(“image1.swf”);  
break;  
case 18 :  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break;  
case 19 :  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break;  
case 20 :  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break;  
case 21:  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break;  
case 22 :  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break;  
case 23 :  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break;  
case 24 :  
location.loadMovie(“image18.swf”);  
break  
thank you for your time and help
