[vet-mm] Actionscript 3.0 Randomise

[Travis Parker]

Guys,

Am currently writing the course for next year's Cert III students. As we
did Actionscript 3.0 this year, I would like to continue with it so as to
not disrupt the students' preparation. I am trying to make a flash
document with a button for interactivity that takes them to a random frame
(We covered interactive flash documents this year that jump to
pre-determined frames).

Here is the code I used to jump between frames (Used for a multi-choice
game):

start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ask);

function ask(event:MouseEvent) :void {
gotoAndPlay("Question");
}

Here is what I have for actionscript 2.0 to jump to random frames:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(random ( 25 ));
}

I realise that there is no randomise function in Actionscript 3.0.

Is there anyone out there with a solution to this or should I just not try
it?!?!?

Many thanks and happy holidays

Trav
