I have problem with this array thing I am doing. U can just plug in the code and run. I need to have 2 things display out of the same array and which ever is picked gets kickedout from the array and stashed into another one.
One of the 2 things that are displaying out is picked at random and the other one goes in order it was put in.
So the logic I applied, or tried applying and is not working very well is..
Once the 2 things display out and if u pick the index count, no numbers change since the index count becomes subtracted by one, so the object after it gets pushed up. but if the random choice is picked the index count moves up by one since it needs to keep moving...
The error i get is this:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

This is the Code:

function goNext()

{

{

}

randomizedorder();
}
}
It is giving me a new error now. It's called StackOverflow. I am not entirely sure what is going wrong now.
