    resolved [RESOLVED] $50 for figuring out a small AS issue

    I have a multiple choice Flash app that runs off of an XML file. I need to randomize the order in which the possible answer choices appear. Right now, the small app randomizes the order in which questions appear, but I'm having trouble getting the individual answer choices within each question to randomize. I have attached my most recent file that doesn't work (my so far failed attempt) and then the last working file that does work but of course doesn't randomize the order of choices. I will need the FLA back. Hopefully a quick $50 for someone. First person to reply with working FLA gets the money via PayPal. Please reply here as opposed to PM so that people don't work on it if there is already someone on it. The area where I think it should be is in frame 1 of actions layer. You can see that I have been monkeying around with the while loop and even tried a for loop without any luck (around line 100). Thanks.
