How can i get my UiLoader to random select SWF?

[KayKiffen]

Hey,

So i want my UiLoader to random select a Swf.

I have 3 swf files and i can't seem to figure out how to make it select random just as a dice, wich i made to try and get random answer.

So here's my code, including the dice kinda thingi. I'm a starter and just can't figure it out lol, please any ideas / suggestions / answers?

Thanks

note: the 'knopLinks' and 'knopRechts' are mc buttons i use for the dice i want them to do the same but with swf in an uiloader

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

//Declaring Variables

var dice:MovieClip      = diceMc;

var knopLinks:MovieClip  = knopLinks;

var knopRechts:MovieClip = knopRechts;

var currentRoll:uint = 0;

var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();

var loader:UILoader       = loaderMc;

//Number   = 0.5 or - 0.5

//int      = 1 or -1

//uint     = >0

//Init

dice.stop       ();

knopLinks.stop  ();

knopRechts.stop ();

//Events

knopLinks.  addEventListener  ( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,knopLinksDown   );

knopLinks.  addEventListener  ( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,knopLinksUp       );

knopRechts. addEventListener  ( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,knopRechtsDown  );

knopRechts. addEventListener  ( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,knopRechtsUp      );

//Functions

function knopLinksDown(e:MouseEvent){

          dice.play();

}

function knopLinksUp(e:MouseEvent){

          currentRoll = 1 + Math.round(Math.floor(Math.random() * 3));

          dice.gotoAndStop(currentRoll);

}

function knopRechtsDown(e:MouseEvent){

          dice.play();

}

function knopRechtsUp(e:MouseEvent){

          currentRoll = 1 + Math.round(Math.floor(Math.random() * 3));

          dice.gotoAndStop(currentRoll);

}

function buttonDown(e:MouseEvent){

          trace(e.currentTarget.swf);

          urlRequest = new URLRequest('swf/' + e.currentTarget.swf)

          loader.load(urlRequest);

          SoundMixer.stopAll();

}

the easiest way is to list the 3 swfs in an array and then randomly select an array element:

var swfA:Array=['swf/swfname1.swf','swf/swfname2.swf','swf/swfname3.swf'];

yourbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);

function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{

loader.load(new URLRequest(swfA[Math.floor(swfA.length*Math.random())]));

}

Put the Strings for the swf files into an array and use the currentRoll value minus 1 to pick one of them.  Then in your buttonDown function you could use....

urlRequest = new URLRequest('swf/' + swfURLArray[currentRoll])

It looks like your random number code has an unnecessary Math.round() in it.  Math.floor will take care of the rounding you need by itself.
