Hi! may i ask for a help on how to create a random name picker in flash?

Thank you for those who will answer my question

something like this might work:

var nameArray:Array = new Array("name 1", "name 2", "name 3", "name 4", "name 5");
function getName(){
    var ranNum = random(nameArray.length);  
    var randomName = nameArray[ranNum];
}
someButton_btn.onPress = function(){
    getName();
}

how would you get it to display into a dynamic text I seem to be having trouble with it

var nameArray:Array = new Array("name 1", "name 2", "name 3", "name 4", "name 5");
function getName(){
var ranNum = random(nameArray.length);
var randomName = nameArray[ranNum];
}
someButton_btn.onPress = function(){
getName();
}

to:

var nameArray:Array = new Array("name 1", "name 2", "name 3", "name 4", "name 5");
function getName(){
var ranNum = random(nameArray.length);
var randomName = nameArray[ranNum];
someTextField_txt.text = randomName;
}
someButton_btn.onPress = function(){
getName();
}
