[F5] Arrrgh, need help

[telegirl]

I've tried 3 different scripts for a random loading image layer and none of them work. Does anyone have code/script for this that will work for Flash 5? I'm totally hung up at this stage and can't move on with the page or site until I have this aspect resolved. I'd be really grateful if anyone can help..

Could you post what you have so far?

What about it doesn't work, exactly?

[telegirl]

This is what my code looks like so far...

choice = Math.round(Math.random()*3);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :
location.loadMovie("quote0.swf");
break;
case 1 :
location.loadMovie("quote1.swf");
break;
case 2 :
location.loadMovie("quote2.swf");
break;
}

_root.choice = random(3);
if(_root.choice == 0) {
_root.location.loadmovie("quote0.swf");
}

just do the if statement for each
should work... i just used a variation of that code for my footer yesterday to pick a random answer

[Yeldarb]

oh, not sure if that will work in flash 5... i have mx...

[telegirl]

I've been getting an error that the Javascript 'switch' construct isn't supported

[Yeldarb]

with my code or yours?

[telegirl]

with my code...I'm trying your code now

[Yeldarb]

ok, post back with the results

[telegirl]

well, the your code isn't creating any errors but it's not loading the images either

[Yeldarb]

is quote0.swf in the same directory as the swf file that you produce?

[telegirl]

It's in the same folder with the main swf file...I've been trying to get it to preview with no luck.

[Yeldarb]

do you have aim?
if not, can you just upload the fla along with quote0, and i'll have a look
