Here is a better idea of what I need I think I posted the code off a little...
[code]
imgArray = new Array();
for(i=0; i<=imagesToGrab; i++){
randomSet = random(totalSetsNLayout) + 1; //totalSetsNLayout = 4
//shouldn't i get a random number between 1-4?
trace("randomSet: " + randomSet);
img = "layout" + layoutNum + "_set" + randomSet + "_img" + i;
imgArray.push(img);
}
trace("imgArray: " + imgArray);
[/code]
[output]
layoutNum: 4
totalSetsNLayout: 3
imagesToGrab: 6
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
imgArray =
[layout4_set1_img0,layout4_set1_img1,layout4_set1_img2,layout4_set1_img3,layout4_set1_img4,layout4_set1_img5,layout4_set1_img6]
[/output]
so why is the randomSet never random?

You're not incrementing imagesToGrab anywhere.
for (...) {
.....
imagesToGrab++;
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] understanding the for loop
Ok guys I am working with this for loop to help me grab random images. My
problem is it seems like the for loop won't reset and random var each time
it runs. Below is my code...
[code]
for(i=0; i<=imagesToGrab; i++){
randomSet = random(totalSetsNLayout) + 1;
img = random(imagesToGrab)+1;
img = "layout" + layoutNum + "_set" + randomSet + "_img" + i;
imgArray.push(img);
}
[/code]
imgArray = [
layout5_set1_img0,
layout5_set1_img1,
layout5_set1_img2,
layout5_set1_img3,
layout5_set1_img4,
layout5_set1_img5,
layout5_set1_img6,
layout5_set1_img7,
layout5_set1_img8,
layout5_set1_img9,
layout5_set1_img10,
layout5_set1_img11]
as you can see my problem is that it doesn't change my set randomly at all?
Any ideas why this happens?
