Class definition problem

Hello all. I'm new at building classes and trying to build a
class to
randomize an array. Here is my code:

FLA code:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////
var aFinishedArray:Array = new Array();
var aRandomArray:Array = new Array();

//populate aSourceArray with values (0-9)
var aSourceArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++) {
	aSourceArray.push(i);
}

//send sequential array to RandomArray.as for randomization
var Dave:RandomArray = new RandomArray(aSourceArray);

function displayRandomArray() {
	links1 = urls.getLinks1();
	aRandomArray = Dave.getRandomArray();
	trace("nContents of aRandomArray in SWF:");
	for (var i:Number = 0; i<3; i++) {
		trace("aRandomArray["+[i]+"]:
"+aRandomArray[i]); 
	}
}

//call displayRandomArray function
setTimeout(displayRandomArray, 2000);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////

Class code:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class RandomArray {
	var aRandomArray:Array;
	var aSourceArray:Array;

	//class constructor
	function RandomArray(aSourceArray) {
		trace("aSourceArray in CLASS: "+aSourceArray);
		PopulateRandomArray(aSourceArray)
	}

	function PopulateRandomArray(aSourceArray) {	
		trace("aSourceArray in PopulateRandomArray function:
"+aSourceArray);
		//populate aRandomArray
		var aRandomArray:Array = new Array();
		for (var i:Number = 0; i<3; i++) {
		//get random number from aSourceArray
		var nRandomNumber:Number =
Math.floor(Math.random()*aSourceArray.length-1);
		//populate aSplicedArray with nRandomNumber from
aSourceArray
		var aSplicedArray:Array =
aSourceArray.splice(nRandomNumber, 1);
		//pass value from aSplicedArray[0] to the var nTempValue
		var nTempValue:Number = aSplicedArray[0];
		//add nTempValue to end of aRandomArray
		aRandomArray.push(nTempValue);
		} 
		trace("aRandomArray in PopulateRandomArray function:
"+aRandomArray);
	}

	//function allows access to data from FLA
	function getRandomArray():Array {
		trace("aRandomArray in getRandomArray function:
"+aRandomArray);
		return aRandomArray;
	}

}///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////

I'm able to pass the array to the class and the class does
perform the
proper randomization of the array. Problem is the trace
statement inside
the getRandomArray function returns "undefined"
and so the array is not
returned to the FLA. 

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Being new to classes I'm
sure it's a
common newbie problem. Any suggestions on streamlining the
class in
general?

Thanks.

Dave
