Name your images numerically.

e.g.:
screenshot1.jpg
screenshot2.jpg
screenshot3.jpg

Then generate a random number using e.g.

%ss = getRandom(1,3);

then build your filename

%fn = "/starter.racing/client/ui/screenshot" @ %ss @ ".jpg";

and finally set your background image bitmap object to use %fn

There's a problem I want to use the screenshots in a directory... How would I read a folder?
