Sound file randomization

I have a website with a talking animated sequence. I want the sound files to be
random, meaning when the site loads, it randomly picks from a selection of
sound files to play. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right
direction. Would these be an actionscript in FLASH MX or an database function?

the easiest way to do this seems te me to create an array in actionscript. Each
element of the array represents one filename. use the x =
math.round(math.random()*(y.length-1)) function. x will be an integer varying
from 0 to the length of the array -1 (because of the zero-indexing of an
array). then if your array is named y for example, with y[x] you just have
randomly chosen a filename(string) from the possibilities you have put in the
array. good luck
