Random Frame From Range

myRand = random(9);

myFrameNames = "Animation"; //assuming your Frame Labels are Animation1, Animation2


gotoAndPlay(myFrameNames+myRand);

you could list all your frame labels in an array and pull out a random one.

var myArrayName = new Array();
myArrayName[0] = "Animation4
myArrayName[1] = "Animation3";
myArrayName[2] = "Animation2";
myArrayName[3] = "Animation1";

gotoAndPlay(myArrayName);

Not too sure on the random function but you could look it up.

gotoAndPlay("FrameLabel");

gotoAndPlay(4); // notice not""

Hi!

Try using this function to get a random number in the range [a,b]:
getRandom = function(a,b) {
return Math.round(Math.random()*(b-a))+a;
}
