How do I use AS2 to make a button event choose either to go to URL #1 or URL #2 randomly choosing either one 50% of the time.

I think this is a fairly 50% chance :)
Code: [ Select ]
var randNumber = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
if (randNumber < 50)
 getURL(url1);
else
getURL(url2);
  1. var randNumber = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
  2. if (randNumber < 50)
  3.  getURL(url1);
  4. else
  5. getURL(url2);

This works also (put your URL's in an array and randomize the array)

ACTIONSCRIPT Code: [ Select ]
on (release)  {
   
      link_arr = ["www.ozzu.com", "www.google.com"];
        ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*link_arr.length);
        getUrl("http://" + link_arr[ranNum]);
}
  1. on (release)  {
  2.    
  3.       link_arr = ["www.ozzu.com", "www.google.com"];
  4.         ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*link_arr.length);
  5.         getUrl("http://" + link_arr[ranNum]);
  6. }


I think the inherent nature of random makes that about 50/50 kinda like the toss of a coin with only two URI's. And of course you can add as many URI's as you want to your array.
