ok, i am wondering how this lil flash effect is done,

http://www.linkinpark.com/lpflash/navigation-large.php

i really dont know what to call it, but i would like to use it on a page i am working on for a friend. when ever the page is reloaded the image changes. the robot and the background change to a new image, if any one knows how this is done, can u please post it, thanx. . . .

That is done with randomization!
You can do it with different Flash movies and loadMovies like this: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loadingrandombackground.asp
or you can just do it with frames... like in frame 1 you have a green robot, frame 2 red robot...
and then it goes to a random frame or you can also mess with "_visible"
Like you have all the robots in one frame but only one rbot is visible at a time...
The backround is done exactly like the robots except that the robots are loaded and then one robot flies in from the left.

I hope that helped :)
