Could someone explain to me why this is fail.
Trying to get the opacity to load as a random value.
I cannot get this to render in anything but black even though the alert is clearly showing that I'm getting values between 0.00 and 1.00
Important Code:
alert(Math.round(Math.random() * 100) / 100); <-- Tests to see if output is what it's supposed to be
ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 0, Math.round(Math.random() * 100) / 100)"; <-- generates as black, always
Tested: 1. Set opacity to random variables between 0-1 worked fine 2. Added the above alert box just to see if ranges were acceptable
