Load random flv

Question

This is my catch 22 ...
Im trying to load random flv's into my mc. I cant seem to figure out how to loop random flv's.  Currently, it plays a random flv the 1st time, plays a random flv the 2nd time around, but the 3rd time (and so on) it loops the same 2nd flv.  I need it to constantly loop random flv's every time.  Any suggestions? 
var randomNum:Number=Math.random();
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var stream:NetStream;
var video:Video=new Video(stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
var metaObj:Object = new Object();
var isPaused:Boolean=true;
connection.connect(null);
stream=new NetStream(connection);
stream.client=metaObj;
metaObj.onMetaData=onMetaData;
function onMetaData(data:Object):void {
video.attachNetStream(stream);
mc.addChild(video);
//load background video
function videoInit():void {
     if (randomNum<=.333) {
          stream.play("clipA.flv");
     if (randomNum>.333&&randomNum<.666) {
          stream.play("clipB.flv");
     if (randomNum>=.666) {
          stream.play("clipC.flv");
videoInit();
function videoLoop(stat:Object):void {
     if (stat.info.code=="NetStream.Play.Stop") {
          if (randomNum<=.333) {
               stream.play("clipA.flv");
          if (randomNum>.333&&randomNum<.666) {
               stream.play("clipkB.flv");
          if (randomNum>=.666) {
               stream.play("clipC.flv");
     stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, videoLoop);
Thanks in advance!

First, you can shorten code and remove function videoLoop altogether. As for random issue, you need to reset random number to a new one - I don't see other issues with it. See code below:
import flash.events.Event;
var randomNum:Number;
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var video:Video = new Video(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
var metaObj:Object = new Object();
var isPaused:Boolean = true;
connection.connect(null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
stream.client = metaObj;
metaObj.onMetaData=onMetaData;
function onMetaData(data:Object):void {
video.attachNetStream(stream);
mc.addChild(video);
videoLoop();
function videoLoop(stat:Event = null):void {
     if (!stat || stat.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
          randomNum = Math.random();
          if (randomNum <= .333) {
               stream.play("clipA.flv");
          else if (randomNum > .333 && randomNum < .666) {
               stream.play("clipkB.flv");
          else {
               stream.play("clipC.flv");
    stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, videoLoop);
Also, you may want to reconsider how you reference videos and put the into an array and choose from it - this is more scalable:
import flash.events.Event;
var videoArray:Array = ["clipA.flv", "clipB.flv", "clipC.flv"];
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var video:Video = new Video(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
var metaObj:Object = new Object();
var isPaused:Boolean = true;
connection.connect(null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
stream.client = metaObj;
metaObj.onMetaData=onMetaData;
function onMetaData(data:Object):void {
video.attachNetStream(stream);
mc.addChild(video);
videoLoop();
function videoLoop(stat:Event = null):void {
     if (!stat || stat.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
          stream.play(videoArray[Math.random() * videoArray.length]);
     stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, videoLoop);
