Does the random function support decimals?

I'm creating lightning and I have it working except that random seems to return a 0 if I use decimals for the min and max.

My change/constrain attribute behavior:
self.fadeSpeed to random(0.007, 0.07

    always kind of worked for me when doing something random, but does it haveto be a decimal?

    random(7,70)/1000

    though .007 I think is too small if you are using it for a timer. I think the smallest number that is noticeable is .01.

    Hmmm... now that I think about it I could use whole numbers and multiply by 0.001.

    EDIT:
    @ipwnu: yeah, or that could work.

    I know I've tried with timers & if I remember correctly, if I put in any number less than .1 it changed it back to .1

    Therefore, I would imagine that .1 is the min anything can be.

    I've tried with .05 and that worked. But the test didn't have that many behaviors. The more behaviors you have the longer its going to take to finish running them all.

    CodeMonkey is it different on timers? I could have sword it actually changed it to .1 when I went lower than that.

    I just tried it and it took values less than .1
