Calling a Random SWF from an ARRAY

[tmstark]

Hello.

I'm new to Flash, so bear with me.

I'm using a holder SWF with a menu and sidebar to load external SWFs within itself. I want to be able to load a random external SWF into my host SWF for variety and file size purposes. However, the method I'm using to call the external SWFs is I've placed an MC called "transition" over a mask. The first frame of the "transition" mc simply says: _root.section = "whatever.swf";

I do it this way because it's easy for me, and because it's a part of the transition animation.

How can I adapt "_root.section = "whatever.swf";" to call on a random SWF from an array?

Try this...

movie_array = ["swf1.swf","swf2.swf","swf3.swf","swf4.swf","swf5.swf"];

_level0.my_random = Math.floor(Math.random()*movie_array.length-1)+1;
_level0.section = movie_array[_level0.my_random];

trace(_level0.section);
