Thanks Danny, I'll have to do some work and see how I get on. Cheers again.

Take a list of dominos (probably a list of two-element arrays like [0,0]) and randomise it. Here's a simple randomise function (NB: it destroys the original list): function randomise(tArray:Array) { var tRet:Array = new Array() while (tArray.length>0) { var r:Number=Math.floor(Math.random()*tArray.length) tRet.push(tArray[r]) tArray.splice(0,1) } return tRet } (Warning: email code may be flawed...) and how to approach the 'logic' of game moves (how to decide > whether someone can move a particular domino onto the board or not. I would keep hold of a variable for each of the two ends of the chain (assuming you're not allowing side-branching). When they want to add a domino, just check if either of its elements matches either of these numbers; if so, it can be added. You'll find the most tricky bit of logic will be fitting the dominoes into the space. To keep it simple, I'd arrange them in a loop around the outside of the game area. Make sure the 28 dominoes will fit in the space, then just build in either direction from the starting point. Guaranteed success :) HTH Danny _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
