How can I make such a code, which shows a random movieclip in my movie?

[Computer Dork]

do you have a bunch of clips to choose from or what?

I have a movie called main.swf

and in this move are 4 different images with animations (movieclips)

now i would like, that if ya enter the main.swf a random movieclip loads ?

[Computer Dork]

code:

---

//put this on first frame of main.swf



myClips = new Array();

myClips[0] = "movieClip1.swf";

myClips[1] = "movieClip2.swf";

myClips[2] = "movieClip3.swf";

myClips[3] = "movieClip4.swf";



//lets say you have an emptyMC called "empty" that you want to load them into 

//when the main.swf loads - put these actions on main.swf



onClipEvent(load){

    _root.empty.loadMovie(myClips[random(3)]);

}

[theScreen]

but one thing - i would like to load MC's - they already exist in the main.swf ???!?!?!?!?!?!

in that case use linkage - open your library and right click on the mc's in question, then give it a linkage name.

Goto library , then properties of the Movie clips you want to show.

Make sure the Export For ActionScript box is ticked , then decide on a name.
