Random repeat (only repeat whats not on screen)

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone can help me out with the below, I will try my best to explain what I'm trying to do.
Basically, an actor is spawned onto the screen, there are 24 actors, and the number is randomed between 1 and 24, so basically every 1 second a randomed actor will appear. If you click on them, they vanish.
Ok, this works great, no problems, however, the 1 thing I'm trying to work out is.... If for example actor 15 is on the screen, how it currently works 15 could be spawned again if its randomly chosen, what I'm trying to do is make it so an actor who's currently on screen won't get spawned again until its been removed (so you basically won't have 2 of the same actor on screen at any one time).
I'm not sure if I've really explained myself that well, however hopefully it may make sense?
If anyone has any tips that would be great, in the meantime I will carry on trying to figure it out.
Cheers as always
Chris

And when you remove the actor from the scene, you insert it back into the deck (either on the bottom, or randomly withing the deck).
That's the general idea. Now think of a one column table like it was a deck of cards!
Seven of Heats ? Did I get it right ?
: P
Another way would be to simply have your 24 numbers 'cycling' (%24) and add [random 1, 23] on to the previous number.
Lol.
Ok, I've only just had chance to jump back into Gamesalad after the Holidays, and I'm still trying to work out how to do this - grrrr.
Please see below a link to the file. If anyone has the time, and may know what to do, please feel free to download the file
