Javascript Problem

So just making sure, but your publishing before trying to run it right?

What code are you using? Does it use any jQuery?

Yes I am publishing. This is the code that I am using which I know works as it works through the HTML5.story file but not the story.html file.

var randomnumber = Math.floor((Math.random()*10)+1);
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("randnum",randomnumber);

Thanks

Are you testing locally (on your harddrive)? In that case, the script is likely blocked by your browser's security settings. Upload to some server and try again. Here I your script running off my server: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl73_SL2/JSRandNum/V1/story.html

I'm sorry, I tried posting your code into a new project and its working fine for me from the story.html file.

Is there any other javascript running that is potentially getting in the way of these lines of code?

Strange that worked for me too! I think it might be because I am publishing to my hard drive.

Yes, that is often the issue. You can fiddle with your Flash player's security settings, and add a folder on your local harddrive as a Trusted Location. Then you can also test locally.

Do you know how to do that? As in add a trusted location?
