I use it all the time.
random(2) = Math.round(Math.random());
gimme a break.
I dunno why it was deprecated, but:
random(2) is not the same as Math.round(Math.random()*2);
random(2) return an integer between 0 and 2, not including 2;
Math.round(Math.random()*2) return an integer between 0 and 2 (included).

Hehe, I beat you to it (the fix) 
thanks though.

Hoi
i guess Macromedia whated to do it all in a more OO way :sure:
oh this should be better
random(2) = Math.**floor**(Math.random()*2);

I don’t really know why, but i assume it has something to do with the fact that after flash 4, ActionScript followed the ECMA standards 
… the old random() is faster than Math.random() though :-\

ding ding!
I remember someone saying that Math.random() is more random than random() but I see no difference! :-\
someone here did a really good thing on how random is random, plugging in the values in excel and making a chart and everything - that was pretty wild, but I dont think they compared random to Math.random. I think it was just random. … so I dont know if one is more random than the other or not :-\
… I think I might have heard the same though
Maybe their just the same…
just that random is global and Math.random isn’t!!
:-\
[SIZE=1]just an idea [/SIZE]

i guess it just goes back to having everything more object oriented like you said before.
