I'm creating a quiz using AS2. I have a total of 8 questions. I want to ask a question at random, then ask another question at random, but not ask the question that's already been used. I figured I'd create a new true/false statement each time I ask the question, then on the future question I can use those statements to rule out already used questions. Thanks for any help. Here's what I have so far:

Correct answer Ned Murphy

You would probably find it easier to radomize an array and use the random order from the first to the last. That way there is no issue with repeating the same question.

var questionsOrdered = new Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);

function shuffle(a:Array):Array {
var len:Number = a.length-1;
for (var ivar:Number = len; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
var p:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(ivar+1));
var t = a[ivar];
a[ivar] = a

;
a

= t;
}
return a;
}

var questionsRandomized = shuffle(questionsOrdered);
