flash actionscript: I am creating a website but need help on the actionscript side (which is why
this is in this category). My problem: I have found a perfect Javascript to
make random facts appear on my webpage, but after deciding my webpage should be
in flash, I havent found a simular script for Flash. So here is what I need:
a flash actionscript to make random facts appear as static text on my webpage
in Flash. I already have the facts, so i just need a script to enter them in!
Thanx

Here is what I would do:

1) create an array to hold all of your random facts (you could also do them in
an external source like a DB or txt file)
2) generate a random number and pull that index from the array as the random
fact
3) pop that string into a dynamic text field
4) whaala! :D

something like this maybe:

var facts:Array = ["fact1", "fact2", "fact3", "fact4", "fact5", "fact6"];
var factNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(facts.length-1))+1;
var factString:String = String(facts[factNum]);
myTextField.text = factString;

That picks a random number, pulls that array index, and pops that string into
a textfield.

Ah, yes. I copied the code into Flash after creating a small dynamic text box
named 'factString'. Your code was great, although i deleated the last line:
myTextField.text = factString; I also removed the +1 from the second line: From
- var factNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(facts.length-1))+1; To -
var factNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(facts.length-1)); This was
because of the 'undefined' of fact1, which was counted as 0. Thank you for
your help - it help me solve it! Hoathy
