Math.random() retruns a random number of 0.0 or between 0.0 and 1.0. You should convert it to a whole number first. function getRandom(min:Number, max:number){ return min+Math.floor(Math.random()*(max+1-min)); } The other part is that you're overwriting the img variable: img = random(imagesToGrab)+1; img = "layout" + layoutNum + "_set" + randomSet + "_img" + i; So in effect, the first value of img is replaced in the second line.
