Sherryl,


You can't get real random access in Flash3. I don't know if real random

access can be done in Flash 4, but I doubt it.


If you are on a Unix server, you could do some kind of script which is

called by the cron daemon every minute or every other minute. That

script could change a link in a html document in a way that it links to

a series of .swf files in another directory. I haven't done that by

myself and you would need to work together with the admin of the server

you are using (access to crontab), but it works really nice. Doug

Menuez' gallery uses this method. The pictures won't be in the same

order when you go through the gallery again.
