Well, you're right -- looks like there is no difference.  I'd just never

tried the way you were doing so I thought the problem might be that

flash wasn't interpreting the expression correctly.  But I tried it just

now with a goto and stop (random(5)+5) and it went to a different frame

each time when I did a test movie.  Maybe something in the frames is

causing the playhead to jump to frame 2 in your movie?  Can't think of

what else could be wrong without seeing the fla.
