Random Numbers and Layers
Jan 14, 2013

Thanks to the generosity of a forum member, I have created a button that uses java script to return a random number between 1 and 10. Using the random number that is generated, I would like to show the corresponding layer. Random Number 1 = Layer 1 etc. Each layer is to display a spinning while animation. If this topic has already been covered in another post, please point me towards the solution. Thanks.

Hi Katherine,
First you will need to setup 10 layers with unique names.
then you need to create 10 triggers similar to this:
Action: show layer
layer: the layer you want to show
when: timeline starts
object: the slide you are working on
click 'show conditions'
click the '+' icon
AND/OR: AND
List: Variables
If: variable with random number in it
Operator: == Equal to
type: value
value: the value you want the random number to be when you want to show the layer you selected earlier in the trigger menu.
Here is a storyfile, I did not use a random number. However it shows the setup of the layers and triggers.
Enjoy,
Kumar
