Random Image Insert

[laidback]

Hello,

I am trying to create a placeholder on my flash page that will import images randomly from a file. Basically on my page I would like to have a box that will display jpegs randomly from a file. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I can accompish this? Thank you.

randomClips = new Array ("background0.jpg", "background1.jpg", "background2.jpg", "background3.jpg");
function randomBackground() {
	randomNumber = random (randomClips.length);
	_root.mtClip.loadMovie (randomClips[randomNumber]);
}
randomBackground();

Put that in a frame. When the movie loads or reloads, it will show a random picture. The more jpg's in the array, the more random it will be.

Is there a way to reference the jpg's from a file rather than hard coding them? I would like to be able to use the same code in multiple swf's and add/remove the images from one location (file) rather than going into each swf and changing the code each time I want to add or remove a picture. Thank you.

I don't know of an easy way, but I'm sure there is one. Ask in the actionscript forum.
