Hi Pat

This kind of problem happens all the time when doing variable with Flash
because it's a tricky little beast. What you need to remember is that
variables exist on different levels and as such must be properly called. In
this case, you might consider this:

On (Release)
Set Variable: "/:image" = random(4)+1
Begin Tell Target ("/rt_image")
Go to and Stop (/:image)
End Tell Target
End On

Or, you can even force it to:

On (Release)
Set Variable: "_level0/:image" = random(4)+1
Begin Tell Target ("/rt_image")
Go to and Stop (_level0/:image)
End Tell Target
End On

Have fun and goodluck!

Wilco
