I have tried using frame action in the beginning to avoid user

intervention, but couldn't obtain a random results, cos I think by fixing a

specific timeline for the main movie, the results of the MC would be the

same...so there won't be a random result.


This is wat I've done, correct me if I'm wrong.


In my main movie (total 10frames), there are two layers.


1st layer consist of  MC(random) and MC(graphic) (MC- Movie Clip) 


Details of MC :

MC(random) 

- 4 empty keyframe, each have an Tell Target (TT) action to Goto frame

1-4 of MC(graphic) respectively.


MC(graphic) 

- 4 keyframe with each consists a different text, park at 1st frame


Then at the last frame of my main movie(10th frame), I have a frame action,

i.e. TT to MC(random) to stop.


When I test run the movie, it always stop at the same frame in the

MC(graphic). Did I do sthg wrong ?? 


(Hope you can understand wat I mean, I can be quite long winded sometimes

..haha..pardon my poor English)


adios,

mingo
