hello,

i am trying to create a magic 8-ball, my own version of course.
my current document-set consists of two swf-files, the first one of those i want to be there from the start, when you enter the page, and the second one (which there is supposed to be around 20 of) i want to appear and start when you hit a button (which i have not yet created).

all in all i want this:
- enter webpage = one swf-file is looped and there is a button
- clicking the button = the swf is replaced by a randomly picked other swf-file

i am a simple graphic desginer who usually work with print media, so i dont have the code-skills for this project. i have been searching the internet for a whole day without result, please help me!

/karin
