Subject: RE: FLASH: set variable randomly, numbers should only be taken once

Just for shits and giggles, I threw this together.. enjoy...

Set Variable: "numElements" = 5
Set Variable: "maxVal" = "56"
Set Variable: "outer" = 1
Loop While (outer <= numElements)
Set Variable: "duplicate" = true
Loop While (duplicate = true)
Set Variable: chr(ord("a")+outer-1) = random(maxVal)+1
Set Variable: "duplicate" = false
Set Variable: "inner" = 1
Loop While (inner < outer and duplicate = false)
If (eval(chr(ord("a")+inner-1)) =
eval(chr(ord("a")+outer-1)) )
Set Variable: "duplicate" = true
End If
Set Variable: "inner" = inner+1
End Loop
End Loop
Trace (chr(ord("a")+outer-1)&":"&eval(chr(ord("a")+outer-1)) )
Set Variable: "outer" = outer+1
End Loop

I wrote a script for doing that in flash, I'll mail it to you personally.
(doubt you're gonna do anything with the VB, i wouldn't)
