I’ve got 2 arrays that I want to randomize together. So if array one (1,2,3,4,5) is randomized to be (5,2,3,4,1), how can I have the second array randomize to that order?

///Here’s my randomize function///  
Array.prototype.rn= function()  
{  
ret= new Array();  
var copy= this.concat();  
while(copy.length \> 0)  
{  
rnd=int(Math.random()\*copy.length)  
ret.push(copy[rnd])  
copy.splice(rnd,1);  
}  
return ret  
}

///Here’s me calling the first array to be random///  
b=zArray.rn();

how can I say “make the xArray correspond with the random order of the zArray” with AS?

Thanks
