From AW to Flash_Random Navigation

Question

I am trying to migrate to Flash, and I'm missing many of
Authorware's features especially when it comes to interaction. I'm
writing hoping that there's someone out there equally at home and
familiar with both AW and Flash. Specifically, how can I navigate
to any random scene (e.g., several quiz items) in Flash, the way I
could have easily done it with a decision icon in AW? Any help will
be greatly appreciated.

I'd create an array that contains the names of all the scenes
and then
create an array that randomly includes the indices of the
other array and
key your navigation off of that. Note this isn't real code
since I haven't
installed Flash on this machine, but something like this.
//assume your scenes are called "scene1" to "scene20"
public var scenes:Array;
public var indices:Array;
for (i=0, i<20, i++){
scenes.push('scene'+i+1);
indices.push(i);
public function shuffle():Number{
return Math.floor(Math.random()* 2);
indices.sort(shuffle);
HTH;
