Keith, Karl,
thanks, I have a clearer understanding now.
File structure; Frame labels on timeline order = mmPretzel,
3Musketeers_truffle, MilkyWay_Caramel, mmCO, mmCherry, Twix_java, VOTE, mmPB,
NASCAR.
Animations are setup to play to the end of one then bounce over to the next one
in the final array.
What I am trying to get on gotoAndPlay is "mmPretzel" and "3Musketeers_truffle"
always play 1st and 2nd, then a random pick from the remaining 7 would play as
3rd, followed by the 4th item in the array and so forth.
My current trace statements =
trace(b) = mmCherry, mmPB,mmCO, MilkyWay_Caramel, VOTE, Twix_java, NASCAR.
trace(mOnemTwo) = mmPretzel, 3Musketeers_truffle, mmCherry, mmPB, mmCO,
MilkyWay_Caramel, VOTE, Twix_java, NASCAR.
play result = mmPretzel, 3Musketeers_truffle, MilkyWay_Caramel, mmCO, mmCherry,
Twix_java, VOTE, mmPB, NASCAR (original order on timeline)
