[FMX] Manipulating input/output...need help planning

programming flash
1

OK, let me say I decided to try doing this project as a way for me to better learn AS. Essentially what im trying to do here is recreate a tool that i use at work. All the program does is generate a password. The password changes daily and it based on a serial number, current date, and some basic calculations. Right now i just trying to plan out everything…Details listed below:

Application Detials:
1 input field and 1 output field. User will type in a numeric serial number into the input filed and hit submit button – The serial number will be displayed in the output field as a password but before its displayed I will need to have further calculations performed.

(1) My current question is how do I go about rearranging the input data. Example: Input (12345) rearranged to Output (52341).

I know how to have the input returned to the output field but im trying to figure out what the best way would be to to rearrange the numbers before returning to output field. Rearranging the input will only be the first step before I perform other calculations…

Thanks for the help!

This will get u started:

myArray = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"];
len = myArray.length;
for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
	randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*len);
	temp = myArray*;
	myArray* = myArray[randomNumber];
	myArray[randomNumber] = temp;
}

Tell me how it goes.

h88, thanks for the reply. I actually ended up using the substring cmd to pull out what I wanted from my string.

Example:

Field A = input1.substr(3, 4);
Field B = input1.substr(0, 2);
