Ok I tried searching and i cant seem to find what im looking for

I have 2 movie clips on stage, and im trying to play a random one, but for some reason my last line of code doesnt work. Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong. 🙂

```
i = Math.round(Math.random()*2);
newTarget = "Target" + i;
trace(newtarget);
newTarget.play();
```
