Hey everyone, I’m after a way to randomly display 6 ‘clickable’ images, from an external list (of many images), kinda like the one you see at the top of the forum page (below the main menu). I’ve searched high and searched low, and was able to sort of do it with javascript/html, but was unable to make it linkable, nor cross-browser friendly. So I thought… Flash! It doesn’t even need to be as snazzy/hi-tech with that cool, rollover text display thing. Just six images that load randomly, that users can click on. Many thanx in advance for any helpfully points in the right direction. Happy easter 'n all that, Asparagus… ---

OK, after searching and searching, I finally found out that it’s called a ‘showcase’?? Arg. I have the .FLA and have fiddled about with it, so now it works and looks great. Here’s the link for those interested: [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198275&highlight=kirupa](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198275&highlight=kirupa) ---
