Generate Random Number Multiple Times in AS3?

[Twisted4000]

I'm doing a random number generator test and I wanted to know if there was a way to generate a random number multiple times all at once. For example, "d4_result" is "d4" generated 1,000 times:

d4 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 4) + 1;
d4_result = d4 * 1000;

But of course, all this does is have "d4" generate one random number from 1-4, and then have that result multiplied 1000 times. I want "d4_result" to be 1000 random results of "d4". Is this possible? Currently my only workaround is by having a countdown timer with a max of 1,000 frames, and having "d4" generate a number one frame at a time, each additional frame adding to "d4_result," and although this works, you obviously have to wait that many frames to get the final value rather than instantly. Any ideas? Thank you!!

I take it you're unfamiliar with the programming concept of loops.

var d4_result = 0;
var i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
     d4_result += Math.floor(Math.random() * 4) + 1;
}

Oh yeah. That would work. 🙂

Thanks!
