Nothing Flash about this question

I am developing a simple browser based application to learn the notes on an istrument as related to a music stave. by loading up a variety if images.


How do I get the web browser to randomly select a sequence of images within a group and load them individualy into the browser frames at adjustable time intervals.

For Example I have 6 groups of images A, B, C, D, E, F. in a menu on a web page

Upon the users selection of group B for instance I want the browser to select randomly from B01-A. . . .B24-A

Each of these has a sequence of 3 images it loads.

lets say it randomely selects B05-A and loads this image into one of 3 frames on the page.
It should then proceed to call up B05-B, and B05-C and load them into the other 2 browser frames

The time interval between loading the images B05-B and B05-C should be adjustable in milliseconds

upon completing this operation it should then proceed to randomly select another from within the range B01-A. . . .B24-A and so on

You just need to generate random number using [tt]Math.random()[/tt]. have a look at [tt]setInterval()[/tt] for setting an interval.

Thanks for that Kenneth, can you possibly set out an example that I can adapt of what the code will look like based on my examples given.

I haven't written any HTML code for a long while or used the random math variable before so I am very behind on what I need to know.

Also how do you get the images to load into specific frames in the browser window.

Regards

Hold on - is this a Flash question or a JavaScript question? I suspect it's latter, if so this is a wrong forum!
