Object's order randomization?

[Aloan]

Friends, is there a code so all the objects on the screen play around with each other changing their order automatically and randomly every two seconds? thanks!

(like) every 2 seconds - order - randomize /that would be fun! because there are lots of objects hidden behind others which are in front of them, so I'd like to interchange all of them so each object gets a chance of showing up in front of others respectively! thanks (just so you know all the objects have a bouncing ball movement and the level is like a screensaver displaying pictures)

Ok. It seems like a tough question... I've been giving it a thought and came up with a harder way of doing it.
1- Count the number of objects manually
2- divide by 3
3- assign 3 qualifiers and name them A, B, C.
4- have if A collides with B bring A to front
5- if A collides with C send A to back
6- if B colides with C bring B to front

Do you think this is fair?

Would running a loop like "Every 2 seconds + Pick 'Object' at random. > 'Object': bring in front of 'object'"

Alternately, you could spread an alterable value through all the objects then use random pool to randomize their order.

Set Alterable Value to Random(NObjects)

Start Loop NObjects times

On Loop, Loop Index == Alterable Value: Bring to Front

Cool! I'll check those out! exciting exciting and exciting is just how I feel with all these wonderful "it can be done in mmf2" stuff! it's the expandability of creation with this wonderful tool which is mmf2! txs folks! this is the best forum I have ever been part of, ever!
