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?"

}
