Load random images with associated links in HTML5 Canvas

I see lots of old examples of randomly loading images or URLs using ActionScript, but nothing recent for HTML5 Canvas. Can anybody help direct me how I could load random images (or movie clips), along with associated links, into a movie clip? I want to create a simple web banner that loads different product images with links to their respective product pages. Many thanks for any insight.

i can't think of anything easier than putting each product on a frame.  then display a frame selected randomly.

Thank you kglad for the great suggestion. I followed up with another thread to find the exact code needed (thanks Colincolinqawu6 re: Random Frame):

this.gotoAndPlay(15+Math.random()*10);

In this example it would jump to a random frame in the range of 15 to 24. Change the start frame number and the number of different frames, to match your case.
