I am very rusty using lingo, and I cannot find how to do this in any of my old
projects (using director 7 if that helps you date this)

I am trying to generate a random number, which becomes visible in a text field
on the stage after the user presses a button.

The text field is called "hotseat"

on the button, I have a script which so far reads

on mouseUp
set grandom = random (50)


end

As you can see, I did not make it far. 8-)

In an earlier part of the project, I got around this issue by evaluating the
variable in an enormous if..then...else if statement. I am trying to find a
less tedious way to do it

Any help would be appreciated.

ps I am still using Director 7

on mouseUp me
set gRandom = random 50
member("fieldMemberName").text=string(gRandom)
end

Thanks a bunch. I knew it had to be easier than 100 lines of If..then BS

worked like a champ.
