AS2-Help with Random Placement of Array Items

programming flash
1

HI - My monkeying hasn’t worked here but I imagine it’s a simple fix, just didn’t hit on it yet.

I have an array with 8 items, and I want them to be randomly placed on the stage with each load, or when a “shuffle” button is pressed. Just a simple puzzle where the pieces are to be scrambled and then dragged and dropped by the user.

Current code that isn’t working:

var myArray:Array = new Array();
myArray[0] = puzzle1;
myArray[1] = puzzle2;
myArray[2] = puzzle3;
myArray[3] = puzzle4;
myArray[4] = puzzle5;
myArray[5] = puzzle6;
myArray[6] = puzzle7;
myArray[7] = puzzle8;


for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++){
	trace(i);//returns 0-7 correctly
	myArray*.onLoad = function() {
		//initial positions
		width = 330;
		height = 226;
		x = Math.random() * width + 330;
		y = Math.random() * height + 226;
//math may be goofy. I'm trying to place items randomly in 
//lower right quarter of stage, stage is actually 660 x 452. 
//Nonetheless trace returns no value here.
		this._x = x;
		this._y = y;
	}
//start and stop drag below works.
	myArray*.onPress = function() {
		this.startDrag ();
	}
	myArray*.onRelease = function() {
		this.stopDrag ();
	}
}

Thanks for your help.
