RandomSeed confusion

I'm confused as to how RandomSeed is supposed to work. e.g. with an input slider setting "seed"


RandomSeed(seed)
rand1=Random (0,100)


Setting the seed slider to 0 generates random numbers as expected. Setting seed to anything other than 0, gives a rand1 value of 0 on every frame of the effect so no random numbers are generated at all.
