Random numbers tutorial

1

just to point somthin out kirupa… its actually
Math.random()*(high-low)+low;
because if you do
Math.random()*70 + 7;
it will give you between 7 and 77… because if the random number returns 70 it will add 7 to it… just to point that out if you wanna change it in your tutorial…:cool:

On the subject of random numbers in Flash: I just used the syntac random() in an MX project and it works just fine. However, I get repetitive number sequences a lot.

With your approach will I get a more diversified results set?
