ok so i was testing a random script for a game im hoping to make
what i have is 5 frames on the main timeline, each with a movie clip from 1 to 5 in order, in the movie clip is 20 frames, on the first has the action
_root.stop();
on the 20th is a new keyframe with
_root.gotoAndPlay(random(5));
this all works fine, it plays along the movie clip after stopping the timeline them jumps to a random frame
is there a way to tell flash not to jump to the current frame by setting some extra paramteres for the random like say when its on frame 1, have it jump from 2-5
or on frame 3, have it jump to frames 1-2 & 4-5
just basically avoiding repeating the same frame because sometimes it would play one number for waaay too long, meaning it was randomizing the same frame every 2 seconds
