posting the above removed the proper code for new Vector object instantiation.

private function init():void
{
var nums:Vector. = new Vector.();
nums.push(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100);

trace(“Ordered: ” + nums);
trace(“Shuffled: ” + shuffle(nums));
trace(“Ordered: ” + nums);
}

private function shuffle(vec:Vector.):Vector.
{
var original:Vector. = vec.slice();
var result:Vector. = new Vector.();

while (original.length > 0)
{
var randomIndex:int = Math.round((original.length – 1) * Math.random());
result.push(original[randomIndex]);
original.splice(randomIndex, 1);
}

return result;
}
