no random ?!?

[cardeiro]

cant believe I've never noticed this before. There does not appear to be a random function in the scripting language. Is this true, or am I an idiot (I did search the entire manual for it)

so heres the ugly hack I came up with. I create a slider on my layer, put an expression with a random number generator, read valueAtTime for the slider at frame 1, if I need another, read it at frame 2 and so on, then remove the slider.

ugly but it works...still cant beleive theres no random in aeScript.

Scripting has access to JavaScript's Math.random().
