Hi,
The following code randomly selects one of the movieclips and loads it into an itemQueue_mc, but it only loads each mc into the itemQueue_mc once, then deletes it, so as it won't get loaded in again. It repeats the process until the categories array is empty.

My clips are in the library with the linkage id's set.

Is there a way that I could randomly select three clips of the seven to load into the itemQueue_mc??

Actionscript:

var categories = new Array();
categories[0] = 'accessories_mc';
categories[1] = 'work_mc';
categories[2] = 'holiday_mc';
categories[3] = 'gym_mc';
categories[4] = 'partyTime_mc';
categories[5] = 'partyWear_mc';
categories[6] = 'comfyCasual_mc';


//attachRandom();
function attachRandom(){
	var catLength = categories.length;
	if(catLength == 0){
                //sends play headto endgame screen
		_root.gotoAndPlay("endGame");
		//call the gameover function
		gameOver();
		trace("finished")
	}else{
		// let's make a random selection of the category:
		var cat = Math.floor(Math.random()*catLength);
		// attach this item to the queue_mc. by loading always into the same depth
		// (1), the item which was there previously gets obliterated
		_root.itemQueue_mc.attachMovie(categories[cat],'curItem',1);
		// as every category should only appear once, let's remove this category
		// from the array:
		categories.splice(cat,1);
		trace(categories);
		//move diasable button on screen
		_root.disableScreen_mc.moveMe(800, 76, 1);
		_root.queueMarker_mc._x = 190;
		_root.running2 = true;
	}
}

Any help / tips / advice would be great
