Wherein 'random (number)' would be a random no. from 0 to the number specified. This would mean that each frame would have a 33.3% chance of being picked and shown, in the case of a movie clip of 3 frames. When 4 frames, 25%, 5 frames, 10% and so on.

Try it. It works.

Great. I computed wrong. For 5 frames, it's 20%, 10 frames 10%. Anyhow, it works. Try it!

Thanks, K-Guare. I was actually using this script

on (release) {gotoAndStop(random(4));}

But yeah, the Math.floor command was the more appropriate in this case. Thanks :)
