I have come a little closer with my project, and still need some help please. I have 5 Flvs which i want to play randomly on this page http://www.music-puppets.com/

The .fla file I have created contains this code:

var files:Array = [ "Sz01Puppet.flv", "Sz02Puppet.flv", "Sz03Puppet.flv", "Sz04Puppet.flv", "Sz05Puppet.flv" ];

var shuffledFiles:Array = shuffleArray(files);

//quick test

var testTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

testTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,updateFile);

testTimer.start();



function updateFile(event:TimerEvent):void{

    if(shuffledFiles.length == 0) shuffledFiles = shuffleArray(files);//all files played, repeat process

    trace('play file',shuffledFiles[0]);

    shuffledFiles.shift();

}

function shuffleArray(source:Array,clone:Boolean = true):Array {

    var output:Array = [];

    var input:Array = clone ? [].concat(source) : source;//clone ? preserve orignal items by making a copy for shuffling, or not

    while(input.length) output.push(input.splice(int(Math.random() * input.length-1),1)[0]);

    return output;

	

}

This script works. In the Output every flv is listed randomly, and then repeated. Next up i want this AS Script to work with an FLV Component.

But how to I get that to work?

In my library I have the 5 flvs, and flvplayback component.
I dragged the FLVPlayback component to the stage, but I can only add one flv in the source. How do I get my working actionscript to work with the FLVPlayback component.

Here you can see how my screen looks like.
