Question : UnloadMovie and then loadMovie from array

Hi,

I am trying to load a random SWF into a movieClip from an array. I also have a setInterval timer that I am trying to get to load a different SWF every 2 seconds. For some reason it keeps loading the same random SWF into the movieclip even though I am using the unloadMovie.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Code Snippet:

         
             filename = ["intro1.swf", "intro2.swf", "intro3.swf", "intro4.swf"];
var path = "";
var i = filename.length;
var k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
 
loadMovie(path+filename[k], introClip);
 
var iIntervalID;
var iIntervalTime:Number = 2000; 
 
iInterval = setInterval(loadIntro, iIntervalTime);
 
function loadIntro(){
	unloadMovie(introClip)
	loadMovie(path+filename[k], introClip);
}

Answer : UnloadMovie and then loadMovie from array

Basically what's happening is that you are calculating a random number only once when defining the value of k, so loadIntro() function is keep using that value...
