if (number=1) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 3", 1);
} else if (number2) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 4", 1);
} else if (number=3) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 5", 1);
} else if (number4) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 6", 1);

I know absolutely nothing about actionscripts, but there was a post in here a couple days ago that might help ya....sorry if I'm way off on this.

without checking this script you should try changing the following line before doing anything else:

set (number, "random (15)");

changes to:

number = random(14)+1;

First of all, you don't have the random statement set to an expression. Second, the random function is zero-base, so random(15) will pick a number between 0 and 15. Hence, if you write random(14)+1, Flash will output a number between 1 and 15.
