Hey I have a flash logo on my site, and id like to figure out how I can cycle
through various slogans and by just publishing one .swf, so everytime someone
refreshes it shows a different slogan.

Thank you.

You'd need to create a dynamic textfield (just create a textfield and
select 'dynamic' instead of 'static') and give it an instancename
(let's just say you'd call it "sloganField").
Now, on the frame on which the textfield's placed you'd place the
folllowing script:

allSlogans = ["my site's AWESOME!","I like rubber duckies","I should
really get back to origami-practice now","Me back's sore","Check out
www.com, it really excists!"];
randomIndex = Math.round(Math.random()*(allSlogans.length-1));
sloganField.text = allSlogans[randomIndex];

You can add any value you want to the allSlogans-array and it'll be
included in the random-pick..

Here's a way (assume the textfield instance name is sloganField):

slogans = ["slogan1","slogan2","slogan3","slogan4"];
sloganField.text = slogans[random(slogans.length)];
