Hi,  
I am willing to generate a menu from set of randomly sorted strings …  
The problem is that my code does not generate adequate spaces between strings…  
Can anybody pls look at that code whats going on?  
Any help welcome

```auto

_root.init.onRelease = function() {
initiate();
};
menu = ["pepa", "z depa", "obrazy", "paintings", "performance", "show", "whoIs", "alias", "about"];
function initiate() {
loadedLength = 0;
menu.sort(function () {
return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)-1;
});
for (i=0; i<9; i++) {
lastLength = menu*.length +60
xPos = loadedLength;
ySpace = 10;
this.createTextField("field"+i, i, xPos, ySpace, 100, 25);
ref = this["field"+i];
ref.text = menu*;
loadedLength += lastLength;
}
}

```
