Random number generator
I made a little flash movie a while ago that generates a random number and displays it in a fashion that puts slot machines to shame when it comes to pure excitement and drama. I’d almost forgotten about it when I checked my stats last week and noticed that it’s actually being used. I revisited the code last night and ironed out a few mistakes. It for instance no longer attempts to find numbers between 1 and say “monkey”. Nor does it accept negative numbers. It can draw numbers between 1 and any number you want up to a quadrillion. And of course it was in dire need of some easter eggs…
So, next time you need to decide who should take out the trash, who’s diaper-turn it is or who gets the last slice of pizza, go to my random number generator and let a complete unbiased Flash movie settle it.

Hi André. I don’t generally give out fla files. What would you be using it for?

An excellent thing. Do you have this as a swf? I would like to use it in an animation to generate winners for school attendance
many thanks
