Hi kirupaneers,

I’m designing a website that uses a high quality photo as background. the site has five sections (home, portfolio, etc…) for each section I have 3 high quality photo’s, now I want to load for each section 1 photo at random (so every time you start the site the background is differnt), when I include all pictures the site is like 10 mb. But how to code this before the preloader…

so it would go like this I assume:

random picture selection for five sections --\> pre-load site with random pictures --\> start site

I 'm puzzeled and a bad coder…sorry

my preloader code

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = 986.3_getPercent;  
this.loadTextvak.\_x= this.loadBar.\_width-150;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

Thanks a lot
