AS2, Randomise images attached from xml

munklemoose · September 15, 2008, 2:00pm

Hey guys,

Im creating an xml driven matching game. It is workin pretty well at the moment, but the images are loaded from the xml in the order they are in. What I am wanting is everytime the movie is loaded the images are in random order. Tried using Math.random() with no joy, a point in the right direction would be great!
