Hey,

I’m having trouble thinking how to do the following with AS3 for creating a randomised Flash header on refresh. I’ve setup 5 frames in a movie clip with different artwork on each frame. I’ve then added a new layer where I want to add the code. With action script 2 my code would have been:

stop();  
logovariable = random(5);  
if (logovariable == 0) {  
gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
if (logovariable == 1) {  
gotoAndStop(2);  
}  
if (logovariable == 2) {  
gotoAndStop(3);  
}  
if (logovariable == 3) {  
gotoAndStop(4);  
}  
if (logovariable == 4) {  
gotoAndStop(5);  
}

How would I do the same thing in AS3.  
Thanks bigtime for any help
