hi!
i'm working on my project on flash 2008 i was wondering how would i generate score randomly from 75 to 100. it will be the scoring of my karaoke project...

score = Math.random();

createTextField("dynamic_txt", 1, 10, 10, 150, 30);
dynamic_txt.text = score;
dynamic_txt.textColor = 0xE3C13E
dynamic_txt.border = false;

those are my actionscript...i know there isn't much to my codes...

/** 
* Generates a truly "random" number
* @return Random Number
*/ 
function randomNumber(low:Number, high:Number):Number
{
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1+high-low)) + low;
}

Taken off a different site and slightly modified.

You would use it like,

dynamic_txt.text=randomNumber(75,100);

And you just change the 75/100 to whatever you want for the low/high values.

hi thanks for the reply...
um i think its working because its generating random numbers everytime i load the file...but the problem is its in decimal form...
like 0.643526231, etc..

help...

/**

*/ 
function randomNumber(low:Number, high:Number):Number
{
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1+high-low)) + low;
}

var score:int;
score = randomNumber(75,100);
trace(score);

Try throwing that someone in your code, it should print a number in your output while debugging.
I get whole numbers like you wanted.

Mod edit - Please

thanks for the help meowbuts..
its displaying whole numbers now...
but the thing is..its not displaying on my dynamic text on the screen thus it appears on the output panel...
how can i fix this?

var score;
function randomNumber(low:Number, high:Number):Number  
{  
	 return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1+high-low)) + low;  
}  

var score;  
score = randomNumber(75,100);  
score_txt.text = score;
score_txt.textColor = 0xE3C13E
score_txt.border = false;
score_txt.autoSize = true;
trace(score);
