Yeah, to get that specific format, you will need to do a bit of work.
I'd suggest googling: actionscript generate random string. I found: http://www.zedia.net/2008/generate-random-strings-in-as2-or-as3/ Use Brendan's suggestion, or roll your own.

Can anybody guide me in this direction. Is there any built in function for that or do I have to use my own logic for random generation in this specific case. Any help will be appreciated.
