Hello  
I have some \*.swf files, and I want that they upload in page in random order or by order.  
Its easy to make with JS when we have \*.gif. I want to make the same with \*.swf.

But i dont know how to make it.  
Maybe anybody help me 🙂

you can put a number after each swf then have flash randomly choose a number and load the corresponding movie. for example if you named all the movies fish1.swf, fish2.swf, fish3.swf…etc, you can have flash load a random movie using this script:

```auto

movie = "fish"+random(10)+".swf";
loadMovie(movie, "randommovie", 0);

```

hope that helps.

ps. if you didn’t notice, kirupa has a similar thing going on at the top banner. when you reload a page, he has a different icon next to [KIRUPA.COM](http://KIRUPA.COM).

What he meant is that everything happens in the swf, not in the HTML. This code is Actionscript, not Javascript 🙂
