Here we go, I fixed and cleaned it up for you.


// Generate a Random Number
var movieDis; //global variable

function movie(num){
if(num == 1){

When you want to add another movie, the highlighted is where you want to add another number. That indicates the number of movies -1, so for now you've got 3 mvoies, so I put it at 2, 3-1=2(if you didn't know. ;)). To add another movie, simply add:


}else if(num == x){
movieDis = "null for now. :D";

Before the } else {. The first highlighted is a variable x, thats the number indicating what number movie it is. And the second highlighted "null for now. :D" is where your gonna want to put your object.
Also I see that if the randomnumber equals 0 in your script, it will go to movie1(same as in my script). So I think that this is gonna function right and exactly how yours does, except... Well... Without the part that it doesn't work. :)
