Jumping to a random label, scene, frame without repetition
1. define a label in every frame you want to jump randomly
2. use the following script: 


//before you can start the game, the framenumbers have to be putted in the list
//the parameter finishedFrame is a framelabel which is returned, when the list is done.
function initLabels(finishedFrame){
	labelarray=[finishedFrame,"label1","label2","label3","label4"];
}

//anywhere inside your swf you can call this function to get the next framelabel 
//if the list is empty, the value of finishedFrame is returned
function getNextLabel(){
        var randomIdx, returnValue;

        if(labelarray.length > 1){
            randomIdx = Math.floor(Math.random() * labelarray.length + 1);
            returnValue = labelarray[randomIdx];
            labelarray.splice(randomIdx,1);
            return (returnValue)
        } else {
            return labelarray[0];
        }
}

//init the list - at the end jump to frameLabel "TheEnd"
initLabels("TheEnd");

//jump to the first randomly picked question
gotoAndStop(getNextLabel());

The first argument in the splice function should be \"randomIdx\" and not idx.

I kinda got this to work, except that it is repeating frames before going through the entire array. 

e.g. A,A,A,D

I want A,D,C,B etc. before A is played again?

Apologies if I shouldn't be posting here.
