display of random 4 messages

[onressy]

Hi i have a dynamic text box on the main stage and was wondering how i can randomly display 1 or these 4 message each time:
secMessage="Message1.";
secMessage="Message2.";
secMessage="Message3.";
secMessage="Message4.";

Thanks!

// The number of Texts
Make a button with the instance name myBtn and a dynamic text with the instance name rText...
Copy the following code in the first frame:

var rN:Number = 3;

var rT:Array = new Array(rN);
//The list of random texts
rT[0]="Text 1";
rT[1]="Text 2";
rT[2]="Text 3";

//The button that makes the random text apear in a dynamic text
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
	var a = random(rN);
	rText.text = rT[a];
}

so would i just set it to the text box name like so:


secMessage = rT[a];

You have to make a button with the instance name myBtn... If you press that button a random text will apear in a dynamic text... Make a dynamic text and give it the instance name textLoading...
Write the array with the random messages...
Set messageNum to be the number of the random messages... If you have 10 messages that var messageNum:Number = 10;


var messageNum:Number = 4;
var secMessage:Array = new Array("Message1.","Message2.","Message3.","Message4.");

myBtn.onRelease = function() {
randomNumber = random(messageNum);
textLoading.text = secMessage[randomNumber];
}
