the other two arguments for attachMovie are name:String and depth:Number. :)
to clarify Andreas' advice to use var, if you only need it locally,
declare it locally. for example, randomPos is only used inside
loadImages, but you declare it in the beginning of your script. that's
not necessary, you can declare it in the beginning of your function.
also, i disagree with him on using "function foo () {" over "var
foo:Function = function () {", but i guess that's really a matter of
preference. just do it like whatever feels more comfortable with you.
hth,
