Post subject:  Random name from a list of 25.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere but I've not been able to find it. I want to create a text box that display a random name from a list of 25 possible names. I've managed to create an array variable (<randomname>)with the names stored as elements in that variable. I can display a single name using the Constant Expression <randomname[n]> . Is there a way of replacing the fixed value [n] with a random value between 0 and 24.

As I'm using Creator I can't do this with a script.

Thanks in advance.
Terry

Hi Terry,

Shooting blind as I don't have creator, but you might be able to do this:

Use the random action (on a button etc) on the programming tab / variables to assign a random number to a variable. Then place the variable in the constant expression.
