why does the debug give me this error below??

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method random.

**This is the code here:**

var myArray = new Array();  
var skipped;  
var rand:Number;

myArray[0] = “100”;  
myArray[1] = “200”;  
myArray[2] = “300”;  
myArray[3] = “400”;

if(skipped!=true)  
{  
rand = random(4);  
skipped=true;  
gotoAndPlay(myArray[rand]);  
}

what i want to do is load a number from the array!!
