Okay… If i have a set of number from 1-52… and i wanted to go through all those numbers but in a random order… how would i go about it??

so for example i could trace all those values in a random order… like…

10  
52  
4  
43  
… etc

but it would go through all the numbers and not do any number more than once…

Thanks in advance…

Hoi

if you want to shuffle  
this is shorter…

```auto

deck.sort(function(){return random(2)});
trace(deck);

```
