Random Random Random 1

Hi everyone, I'm very very new to Director MX but yet I need to finish a multimedia interactive project. I was wondering if there is a function of how to make question appearing in text mode randomly.It consist of five difference question that would be call randomly and display whether in text popup or sprite. If it can be made then can anyone tell me how to do the script. Thanx

This will set sprite(1) to random Member 1 - 5.
[tt]--
sprite(1).member = member(random(5))
--[/tt]

Thanx, I got that but, sorry can you please tell me how to cycle between 5 different question, i mean how to set it in the script. I really stuck at this point.

This should give you an idea:

[tt]-- Movie script
global gList

on startMovie
gList = ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4", "Q5"]
end startMovie

on randomQuestion
questionsCount = gList.count
if not questionsCount then
alert("No more questions left!")
else
randomNum = random(questionsCount)
question = gList[randomNum]
gList.deleteAt(randomNum)
alert(question)
end if
end randomQuestion
--[/tt]
