how do i define the minimum and maximum numbers?

```auto
function randRange(min,max) {
 var nounNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(min-max))+min;
 var verbNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(min-max))+min;
 var adjNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(min-max))+min;
}

```

no matter what i put for the minimum and maximum i still get “undefined” sometimes.

i spent two hours playing around with this stuff, i can’t figure it out.

did you want to have a button? cause i’m looking at your file and i don’t see one, so i’m not understanding what it is you are now trying to do.

there is a button. however, it is behind the text, so you can’t directly click on it. you have to click on “symbol 1” in the action script thing on the left.
