what is equivalent of random (in as2) in as3?

by this i mean in as2 an example would be i said random(10) than it would choose a random number between 0 and 10.

Please read the manual:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/Math.html


‘random()’ generates a number in the range 0 <= n < 1, so if you want a random number between 0 and 10, you would multiply the result by 10, as such:

Math.random() * 10;

Nope, it will never generate 1.
