Thanks to all the suggestions re my random list problem. Particular thanks to
Gerry Beauregard for this suggestion:
"It's probably best just to create an Array or Vector containing numbers 1 to
40. (Vectors are only available in AS3, not sure about Array). Shuffle the
array, then choose the first 10 elements......"
The following method of shuffling an array works fine in AS2:
var numArray:Array = new Array();
numArray =
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40];
shuffle(numArray);
function shuffle(arr:Array) {
var i:Number;
for (i in arr) {
var tmp = arr[i];
var rNr:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*arr.length);
arr[i] = arr[rNr];
arr[rNr] = tmp;
}
}
