My code was for a multipage widget, it sounds like you are just wanting to go to a new page, not a multipage widget.

If thats true use the phoneui.gotoPage(‘m1-page1’);
Also make sure you didnt delete an needed brackets or anything else.
If you can post your actual code it could help if this does not work.

Hi Brandon, thank you very much for your response.

Yes, not a multipage widget. I am try to have clicking on a button in my main page (main.mobi) to go to any of 5 pages (page1.mobi etc) randomly.

Here is my code but it’s not working

n = Math.floor((Math.random()*5)+1);
switch(n)
{
case 1:
 phoneui.gotoPage(  'm1-page1',  phoneui.transitions.slideLeft);
  break;
case 2:
 phoneui.gotoPage( 'm1-page2',  phoneui.transitions.slideLeft);
  break;
case 3:
 phoneui.gotoPage( 'm1-page3',  phoneui.transitions.slideLeft);
  break;
case 4:
 phoneui.gotoPage( 'm1-page4',  phoneui.transitions.slideLeft);
  break;
case 5:
 phoneui.gotoPage( 'm1-page5',  phoneui.transitions.slideLeft);
  break;  
}

This is probably very basic for you, but could you help me as I am new to programming. I tried to watch MobiOne related videos on youtube and read up on the Learning Centre but could not find the solution. Thanks.

Try using: return; instead of break; and see if that helps. Ive had break return errors for some reasons.

Hi Brandon,

It’s still not working for me. Anyway thanks for your help.

Hi johnjohn,

You could use a similar code to this:

var n = Math.floor((Math.random()*2)+1);

var screens = {
 1 : "m1-two",
 2 : "m1-three"
};

phoneui.gotoScreen(screens[n], 'FADE');

This finally worked!. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi johnjohn,

That’s great, thanks for closing the loop.
