This works for me:
for(i=0; i<5; i++){
seq[i]=99;
do{
mflg=0;
x=Math.floor(Math.random()*16);
for(j=0; j<=i; j++){
if(x==seq[j]) mflg=1;
}
} while(mflg==1);
seq[i]=x;
}

Quick question. Whats the fastest way to get 5 random numbers out
of a list
of X number of numbers without having any duplicates?
Kinda like the script below excpet it graps duplicates...
var loopNum:Number = 16;
function getRandomNums(){
for(i=0; i<5; i++){
lastNum = newNum;
while(newNum == lastNum){
newNum = random(loopNum);
}
questionOrder[i] = newNum;
}
trace(questionOrder); // 0,1,3,2,3 "how do I get no duplicates?"
}
