[praxy84]

now i want to attach 16 different number to my 16 variables randomly

[bs_grewal]

can u explain me what is ur purpose for it? for what u want to do it?

[praxy84]

okay.i have 16 different movieclips. and i have 16 different spaces for them of which i know the cooredinates.i want them to fill these positions randomly.it is about a game.

instead of using vars i would suggest u to use array.

just copy and paste my following code in the first frame of ur timeline and see the output.

__________________________________________________ _______
tilenames = new Array();
tilenames = ["tile1","tile2","tile3","tile4","tile5","tile6","t ile7","tile8","tile9","tile10","tile11","tile12"," tile13","tile14","tile15","tile16"];

Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
for (ivar=this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = random(ivar);
var t = this[ivar];
this[ivar] = this[p];
this[p] = t;
}
};

tilenames.shuffle();
for(i=0;i<tilenames.length;i++){
trace("tile" add i add " = " add tilenames[i])
}

sorry
my last code has an error
try following
__________________________________________________ _

tilenames = new Array();

tilenames = ["tile1","tile2","tile3","tile4","tile5","tile6","t ile7","tile8","tile9","tile10","tile11","tile12"," tile13","tile14","tile15","tile16"];

Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
for (ivar=this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p = random(ivar);
var t = this[ivar];
this[ivar] = this[p];
this[p] = t;
}
};

tilenames.shuffle();
for(i=0;i<tilenames.length;i++){
trace("tile" add i add " = " add tilenames[i])
}

sorry for replying too late.i tried ur solution and it worked.thank u. and this another way of doing that.thank u agian good luck



onClipEvent(load){
for(z=0;z<17;z++){
_root["box"+i]=random(16)+1;
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
for(i=0;i<17;i++){
for(j=0;j<i;j++){
if(_root["box"+j]==_root["box"+i] ){
_root["box"+i]=random(16)+1;
continue;
}
}
}
}
