Random Frames

[lawrencesmith123]

So
im making a cartoon
and ive made a movie clip for mouth positions
frame one is a non moving mouth
the other frames are the real positions, up to 7 i think
i want the mouth positions to change randomly
when i put it on one of the 2-7 frames
until i change it back to 1
anyone know how to do this?

If I understood you correctly:

function startMouth():Void {
	mcMouth.onEnterFrame = function():Void  {
		mcMouth.gotoAndStop(Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+2);
	};
}
function stopMouth():Void {
	delete mcMouth.onEnterFrame;
	mcMouth.gotoAndStop(1);
}

haha ok so i have no clue how to write action script
so if you think thats right, then thats more then i can do

but anywho
so i think i have to plug in some numbers into that
do i?
or have you already done that for me?

Just try the code and see if that's what you wanted!

No you don't need to put any numbers - I set it so that it will jump around randomly between frame 2-7.
