Random number = random scene

[Boomtown]

Hi there, I am having a little trouble figuring out how to correctly format this. The quotes turn the text green and normally you would hard code what scene you want to travel too. I want the scene to be "Scene X" where X = random number between 2 - 5

stop();
button_next.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, goToRandomFrame);
function goToRandomFrame( event:MouseEvent): void
{
    var minFrameNb = 2;
    var maxFrameNb = 5;
    var randomFrameNb = minFrameNb +Math.floor( Math.random() * (maxFrameNb - minFrameNb + 1));
    gotoAndPlay(1, "goToRandomFrame");
}

Hi,

You just need to compose the name of the scene.

In the example, that I have attached, my scenes are called "Scene 1", "Scene 2"... and so on.

In the event handler function, I compose the scene name using the random number. That's all! 🙂

this.stop();  
button_next.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, goToRandomFrame);  
function goToRandomFrame( event:MouseEvent): void { 
    var minFrameNb:Number  = 2;  
    var maxFrameNb:Number = 5;  
    var randomFrameNb:Number = minFrameNb + Math.floor( Math.random() * (maxFrameNb - minFrameNb + 1));
    var sceneName:String = "Scene " + String( randomFrameNb );
    gotoAndPlay( 1, sceneName ); 
}
