Random viewing of images

Good day!

I downloaded a flash fiel and i want to enhance the code... I want that when i open my flash automatically theirs a image that already choose or view and it is randomly.


this is the gallery.xml

Code:

---

<gallery thumb_width="120" thumb_height="120" gallery_width="400" gallery_height="375" gallery_x="10" gallery_y="10" full_x="220" full_y="10">

        <image thumb_url="thumb1.jpg" full_url="image1.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb2.jpg" full_url="image2.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb3.jpg" full_url="image3.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb4.jpg" full_url="image4.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb5.jpg" full_url="image5.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb6.jpg" full_url="image6.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb7.jpg" full_url="image7.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb8.jpg" full_url="image8.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb9.jpg" full_url="image9.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb10.jpg" full_url="image10.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb11.jpg" full_url="image11.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb12.jpg" full_url="image12.jpg" />
        <image thumb_url="thumb13.jpg" full_url="image13.jpg" />

</gallery>

and this is the actionscript code:

Code:

---

import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myGalleryXML = new XML();

myGalleryXML.load("gallery.xml");

I hope somebody can help me..


Thank you

Hi
I looked at that script too to make a gallery...see question in tread above....I also wanted to display random images before clicking the thrumbs.....I added some script from another web tutorial.....the key elements being:
[code]
function randomImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
var ran = Math.round(Math.random() * (myImagesTotal - 1));
callFullImage(ran);

}
I could paste the whole code...but I changed it in otherways too that might not be what you wanted.....
