[RESOLVED] random frame...

[pumpkin2006]

hi,

so this is my lovely code

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {            
            _root.can_mc._x += 2.6;
            
            if(_root.can_mc._x >= 270)
                {_root.can_mc._x =0;                
            
            _root.random_mc.gotoAndStop(random(9));        
                        
}} 

when my movieclip (can_mc) exceeds x position 270 it returns to x position 0 and plays a random frame from my movieclip random_mc.
But what i want to know is how to get it to go to a random frame but not including frame 1, so it randomly chooses between frames 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

anyone know?

thanks!

random(8)+1 

Then it will choose from 0 through 8, but add 1 to that number, making it go from 1 through 9

oh wait,
i fixed it, dont know why but for some reason

random(8)+2 

seems to work!

oh, sorry >.<

that was my fault, you wanted it to go from 2 to 9, not 1 to 9, loolz

Your code is correct, and it's just that I'm not familiar with random (as there's another random function in Flash), but to explain why random(8)+2 works:

random(8) will give you 0 through 7 (but not 8), and by adding 2 to that, you get 2 through 9

would you mind to tell me another random function in flash nig ?

i want to make a random frame but the frame didn't return twice in the same frame

i working on a quiz game, so it'll ridiculous if one question display twice
