[F8] randomly loaded images

[educ8or]

Hello there, I was originally going to post this in the Actionscript area, but after reading some of the posts my question appears to be much too simple to warrant it's inclusion among such complicated scenarios, I suspect the solution to mine is much simpler. So here goes..

I want to have some movie clips that will randomly load images from a specified image folder, every time the is brought to this specific frame, they would encounter a new series of images. I'm familiar with using a move clip loader, and I know there are ways to make things random within Flash.

What I'm not sure about, however, is how to integrate the two, where if perhaps I had a folder of image001.jpg, image002.jpg, etc. that I could use something which would select these images randomly - this is still in it's conceptual stages at the moment, but any input would be appreciated greatly. Much thanks.

Hey there, this is the first time I've asked a question without getting some input, usually I get more great advice than I know what to do with.. is this becuase this should be placed in the ActionScript area instead of newbies? The problem seems so simple that I didn't think it should go in there..

thanks..

name your images - image0.jpg, image1.jpg.....

have your random generator output -
randNum = 0; // or 1 or 2 etc

load your movieclip with -
myClip.loadMovie("myFolder/image"+randNum+".jpg");
