Flash Fortune-Teller/Random Sentence Generator with User Input

The last thing to do is return to your main stage/timeline and create a button to move the playhead of the movie clip ahead to the second frame so that the script runs:

on (release) {
_root.fortunte.gotoAndPlay(2) ;
}

And with that, you should have a working fortune teller/random sentence generator.

Things to remember:

Make sure to include the full path name of all variables to the root level (such as _root.name instead of name) to make sure that Flash knows where to look for your information.

Don’t forget that you’re using the text property of the dynamic text boxes to fill in the dynamically generated message.

Everything that isn’t a variable inside each dynamically generated message needs to go inside quotes – yes, even spaces and punctuation; you must define everything, and make sure that every time you switch from variable to text or even variable to variable, it must be concatenated using the + sign.
