Could someone please assist, either with guidance or a code sample?

If I generate an array with the code

Set size to (random(4,11), random(4,11),1)[/code:3fo36ddv]

how can I ensure that, regardless of array size, the array is always populated as follows:

with the "1"'s around the edges, and the "0"'s filling the rest ?

I guess what you'd do is first set a (local) variable to the random number (you should use floor(random(4,12), because you don't want floating numbers..

You could then use those variables to get the last lines in the x and y direction (the first is ofcourse always 0)

If I understand correctly...
