The smashing ideas card game isnt true randomization, it uses a method
that was availible in flash 2 in fact. It was just alot easier in flash
3
the Shuffle button has, like JD said a number of identical buttons each
sending the movie to a new and diffferent set of cards.
Randomizing is certainly possible, the idea of a randomizing JavaScript
sending a specified movie clip to a randon Frame would be one means.
Probably wouldnt work on the screensaver.
