From: Damien Morton
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 00:54:10 +0100

list = [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // doesnt necessarily need to be ordered
// list can contain any objects: strings, movieclips, whatever

function shuffle(list) {
srclist = list.slice(); // make a copy for ourselves to destroy
randomlist = [];
while (srclist.length > 0)
randomlist.push(srclist.splice(random(srclist.length), 1));
return randomlist;
}
