Posts: 22                Back for some help.  I'm trying to dynamically 
populate an array and I'm running into trouble.  The objective is to build a 
randomizer using the array shuffle.  While I know there are better ways of 
doing this, I'm building this in order to get to know the language better.

Code:Protected Function Randomizer(low as Integer, high as Integer) As Integer
  //Pick a random number
  dim i as integer //start array at 0 and move up
  dim i2 as integer // work my way through the for loop
  dim a(-1) as integer //Array
  
  i = 0
  
  for i2=low to high
  a(i) = low //Get out of bounds exception error
  low = low+1
  i = i+1
  next
  
  a.Shuffle /randomize the contents
  
  return a(0)
  
End Function
Can someone give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,
RJL
