Looked everywhere for how to do this and not found much, so here goes:

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers

Ive posted the fla, and what i’m doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.

if you test the fla you’ll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero’s and i sort of know why this is, but don’t know how to stop it.

any help would be much appreciated

cheers
