random getUrl?

[fowlerlfc]

hello all!

please forgive me, because this is probably a basic question:

i'm trying to create a button that will go to a random (by random i mean randomly selected from my array of urls) url. here's what i've tried:

on frame 1 of main timeline i've created an array. here it is:

urls("

http://www.soccer.com",

"

http://www.soccernet.com");

on my button, i've placed the following action:

on (release) {
getURL (random(urls()));
}

when i try the button it goes to the following web address:

http://0/

first of all, is what i'm trying possible? if so, where have i gone wrong?

I just tested this and it works...

urls = new Array("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com",[/URL] "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.achq.org",[/URL] "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.wangbar.co.uk");[/URL]
num = Math.ceil(Math.random()*3);
targetUrl = urls[num];
getURL(targetURL,"_blank");
stop();

Try this in root :

var urls = new array ("[URL unfurl="true"]www.soccer.com",[/URL]
                            "[URL unfurl="true"]www.soccernet.com",[/URL]
                            "[URL unfurl="true"]www.site.com",[/URL]
                            "[URL unfurl="true"]www.site2.com",[/URL]
                            "www.site3.com");

And on button :

on (press) {
    getURL (urls[random (urls.length)]);
}
