Re: FLASH: Select a random number... an unused one

[Branden Hall]

like such...


Set Variable: "shuffles" = 30

Set Variable: "size" = 5

Set Variable: "loop" = 1

Loop While (loop<=size)

 Set Variable: "Foo"&loop = loop

 Set Variable: "loop" = loop+1

End Loop

Set Variable: "loop" = 0

Loop While (loop<shuffles)

 Set Variable: "swap1" = random(size)+1

 Set Variable: "swap2" = random(size)+1

 Set Variable: "temp" = eval("Foo"&swap1)

 Set Variable: "Foo"&swap1 = eval("Foo"&swap2)

 Set Variable: "Foo"&swap2 = temp

 Set Variable: "loop" = loop+1

End Loop
