[flashpro] Array order randomizer?

[pete otaqui]

"Method" in this instance refers to an internal function of the Array
object, like this:


Array.prototype.randomize = function() {
  var arr = new Array();
  var i = 0;
  while ( i < this.length ) arr[i] = this[i++];
  var rtn = new Array();
  while ( arr.length>0 ) {
    var n = Math.floor(Math.random()*arr.length);
    rtn.push( arr[n] );
    arr.splice( n, 1 );
  }
  return rtn;
}


var a = new Array("a","b","c","d","e","f");
var b = a.randomize();
trace( b );


(note - I'm not sure this is the best way to do this, but it avoids
distorting the original array).
