Score help

programming
1

I have the following actionscript on the main frame:
score.text = 0;

Then on items that are picked up I have then add to the score using the following code I got from a tutorial:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.guy)) {
_root.score.text++;
unloadMovie(this);
}
}

I was wondering if it was possible to make the value that is added bigger than 1, and/or to make the value random?

fixed number:


score.text = 0;
score_incriment = 3;//for example
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
   if (this.hitTest(_root.guy)) {
      var original:Number = _root.score.text
      _root.score.text = number(original)+number(score_incriment)
      unloadMovie(this);
   }
}

random number:


score.text = 0;
score_incriment = Math.random(5); //The following use of random returns a value of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
   if (this.hitTest(_root.guy)) {
      var original:Number = _root.score.text
      _root.score.text = number(original)+number(score_incriment)
      unloadMovie(this);
   }
}

was wondering for the random feature, Math.random(5);
If I wanted it to be random from 20 to 25 could I do the following

Math.random(6) +20;

or would I have to do something else to do this?
