AS3 getting a random multiple number from array

[german01]

Hi:

I'm having hard time figuring out how to handle division with random numbers from arrays using AS3.

On my stage, I have two dynamic boxes; box1 and box2 and a button, btn.

in timeline I have the following arrays:

var myDivisor:Array = [3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30];

var myDivider:Array =[1,3,6];

The idea is to divide box 1 by box 2, so myDivisor should be a random number higher than a random number from myDivider

USING BTN, HOW CAN I GET A RANDOM NUMBER FROM EACH ARRAY, SO THAT DIVISOR IS HIGHER THAN DIVIDER?

Here is the code in timeline for button:

btn.addEventListerner(MouseEvent, CLICK, rNum);

function rNum (MouseEvent): void

{

box1.Math.floor(Math.random)*myDivisor.length)/box2.Math.floor(Math.random)*myDivider.length);

}

Please suggest ways to make this work.

var myDivisor:Array = new Array(3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,23,89,90,1,34,56,78,99,345,456);
var myDivider:Array =new Array(1,3,6);
var divisor:int;
var divider:int;

getNumbers();
function getNumbers() {
    divisor = getRandom(myDivisor);
    divider = getRandom(myDivider);
    checkValues();
}
function getRandom(array:Array):int {

    var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*array.length);
    return array[randomNumber];

}
function checkValues() {
    if (getRandom(myDivisor) > getRandom(myDivider)) {
        trace(getRandom(myDivisor));
        trace(getRandom(myDivider));

    } else {
        getNumbers();
    }
}

I appreciated your help. It did work. Here is my final Script. Hope someone else benefits from this.

Two dynamic boxes = divisor box1 and divider box2. Divisor should be higher than divider.

One button = btn

var myDivisor:Array = new Array(3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,23,89,90,1,34,56,78,99,345,456);
var myDivider:Array =new Array(1,3,6);
var divisor:int;
var divider:int;

getNumbers();
function getNumbers() {
    divisor = getRandom(myDivisor);
    divider = getRandom(myDivider);
    btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkValues);
}
function getRandom(array:Array):int {

    var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*array.length);
    return array[randomNumber];

}

function checkValues(MouseEvent) {
    if (getRandom(myDivisor) > getRandom(myDivider)) {
      box1.text=String(getRandom(myDivisor));
        box2.text=String(getRandom(myDivider));

    } else {
        getNumbers();
    }
}
