How to get an array of numbers without looping - actionscript-3

Question

I would like to create an array of numbers and then randomize those numbers.

Answer 1

Here is what I've come up with. It does two things.
It gets an array from 0 to the length specified. What the main question was about.
It then randomizes the items in that array
// returns [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] except shuffled
var array:Array = getSequenceArray(10);
/**
* Get an array of the range of numbers from 1 to the number specified and randomize them.
* */
public function getRandomArray(count:int):Array {
// this part is not looped. yay!
var array:Array = new Array(count).map(function (item, index) { return index + 1; });
return randomizeArray(array);;
}
/**
* Randomize items in an array
* */
public function randomizeArray(original:Array, cloneArray:Boolean = true):Array {
var length:int = original.length;
var shuffledArray:Array = [];
var newArray:Array = original.slice();
var randomNumber:Number;
// this is still using a loop. this loop is less of an issue than the first
while (length) {
randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * length);
shuffledArray.push(newArray.splice(randomNumber, 1)[0]);
length--;
}
if (!cloneArray) {
original.splice(0, shuffledArray.length);
original.push.apply(this, shuffledArray);
return original;
}
return shuffledArray;
}
