I'd do it like this:
Take a new array,
take a random element from the oldArray and remove it from the oldArray.
Then put it as the next element in the newArray.
like so:
var oldArray:Array = ["item1","item2","item3","item4","item5","item6"];
var newArray:Array = [];
while (oldArray.length) {
newArray.push(oldArray.splice(Math.random()*oldArray.length,1));
}
trace(newArray);
// Luppis
The basic randomisation algorithm is:
take a new array
for each element in the old array: add it at a random position in the
new array
It's not really rocket science, but it should do the job perfectly
well for your purposes.
