AS query- how to incorporate random load

[cmart]

HI all...this is the fourth version of this question (previous posts were not answered) so hopefully, it's clear this time.

I have this script assigned to a button.

homebutton.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "home.swf") {
_root.section = "home.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}

I'd like the "home.swf" to be a random clip chosen out of three .swf's. Is there a way to expand this script to include a random choice script?

Thanks.

really quick and simple way would be if you had 3 swfs name home1.swf home2.swf and home3.swf

then your script would look like

homebutton.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section.substr(0,4) != "home") {
_root.section = "home"+Math.ceil(Math.random*3)+".swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}


Good luck this time :)

hey thanks again- it worked after a little bit of finessing. final AS:

homebutton.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section.substr(0,4) != "home") {
_root.section = "home"+Math.ceil(Math.round(Math.random()*3))+".swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
