exitFrame enter random frame or marker

Subject: exitFrame enter random frame or marker

Although I didn't write any of the code below, and without the permission of those who submitted these as solutions to my quandry, I felt I should make those available here.

The object was to click on an object, which takes you to a fade of the environment. At the last frame of the fade, I needed a simple computation to choose what the next frame would be. It had to choose 1 of 20. When you click on the resulting frame, it takes you back to the beginning frame for a loop completion and a chance to get another random frame.

Enjoy!

Object: Choose a random frame (or marker) from an exitFrame

*********************************************************

on exitFrame me
    put random(20) into x
    go to frame (229 + x) --or play frame
  end exitFrame

on exitFrame me
  go to frame (random(20) + 229)
end

*********************************************************

put random(20) + 229 into myFrame
play frame myFrame

Example 4 - author: Darrin Hurd ()

*********************************************************

On ExitFrame
    go to frame random(20)+230
end

this should round to the closest Integer when it jusmps to a frame.

or you could create a text member structured as a list of pages you want to go to ie

call it "RandPages"

and then

On ExitFrame
    go to frame  integer(line  (random(numlines of member "RandPages")+1) of
member "RandPages")
end

Hope this works, it is just Pseudo Code I am just writing from memory, as dont have director at home.
