So, I’m just starting a bigger AS3 project. I’m still learning AS3, transitioning from AS2 and I keep getting caught up on dumb stuff.

I’m creating two variables to store a maximum and minimum value for a random number generator.

Here’s my code.

```auto

var MAX_number:Number = 3;
var MIN_Number:Number = 1;
var RAN_number:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+MAX_number-MIN_number))+MIN_number;
trace (RAN_number);

```

I get the same error on both variables

[COLOR=Red]Scene 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, Line 3 1120: Access of undefined property MIN\_number.[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Red]Scene 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, Line 3 1120: Access of undefined property MIN\_number.[/COLOR]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
