Question
Random values for filters
I'm trying to write a script that will generate random values for the filter parameters everytime it is called. I'm new to java script and I'm just trying to get started with the examples from the scripts folder. Does anyone know how to fix this script to get random values for the Mosaic filters?
Thanks in advance.

function mosaicTiles( inTileSize, inWidth, inLighten )

var keyTileSizeID = charIDToTypeID( "TlSz" );

var filterDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
filterDescriptor.putInteger( keyTileSizeID, inTileSize );
filterDescriptor.putInteger( keyGroutWidthID, inWidth );
filterDescriptor.putInteger( keyLightenGroutID, inLighten );
executeAction( eventMosaizID, filterDescriptor );
