Hi everyone,

I want that in every 5 sec a randon image loads in my site. How do I do that?

```auto
img = ["pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", "pic3.jpg"];
loadimg = function () {
	r = Math.floor(Math.random()*img.length);
	emptyMovieClipInstanceName.loadMovie(img[r])
}
loadimgi = setInterval(loadimg, 5000);

```

don’t forget to replace **emptyMovieClipInstanceName** with the actual instance name of the movie clip where you want to load the images 🙂

and i’ve seen a few questions about this … you might want to try a search as well 😉

hi kax… wellcome to kirupa zone 😉

```php
function randomLoading() {
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
	holder._x = 50;
	holder._y = 50;
	myArray = ["1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg", "4.jpg", "5.jpg"];
	picker = Math.floor(Math.random()*(5));
	_root.holder.loadMovie(myArray[picker]);
};
setInterval(randomLoading, 5000);{

```

put your jpg files in the same folder with your SWF… give it the name like 2.jpg… etc

i hope it helps… 😉

> hi kax… wellcome to kirupa zone 😉

what ?? 😛

```auto
function randomLoading() {
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
	holder._x = 50;
	holder._y = 50;
	myArray = ["1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg", "4.jpg", "5.jpg"];
	picker = Math.floor(Math.random()*(5));
	_root.holder.loadMovie(myArray[picker]);
};
setInterval(randomLoading, 5000);{

```

first … i’d change this line

```auto
picker = Math.floor(Math.random()*(5));

```

to

```auto
picker = Math.floor(Math.random()*myArray.length);

```

second … that’s basically the same code i posted 😉
