vb.net - running a class method from a form

[jmp85uk]

I am making a poker game and i am trying to get the computer to make a random move based on the options fold check call and raise.

I have a PLAYER class which when the game runs has, for example, 10 instances, which i put into an arraylist called playerList() so player1 is playerList(0), player2 is playerList(1) etc. etc.

I can get and set all values for these players, eg:

playerList(0).pChipCount = 1000
playerList(1).pChipCount = 800 etc. etc.

BUT...when i try and access the method below it doesnt work.

This is the call to it from my form:

Private Sub preFlop()

playerList(1).pAvailableMoves = "Fold" & "Check" & "Call" & "Raise"
MsgBox(playerList(1).pName & "," & playerList(1).pActive & "," & playerList(1).pStyle & "," & playerList(1).pAvailableMoves)

'IT WORKS UP UNTIL HERE
playerList(1).mMove(1)

End Sub

This is the method in my class PLAYER:

Public Sub mMove(ByVal player As Integer)
Dim RandomClass As New Random()
Dim randomNumber As Integer

Dim availableMoves(5) As String
availableMoves(1) = "Fold"
availableMoves(2) = "Check"
availableMoves(3) = "Call"
availableMoves(4) = "Raise"

'RANDOM PLAYER
If playerList(player).pStyle = "Random" Then
'if the randomly selected move is in the available move list for the player then use it
Do Until InStr(availableMoves(randomNumber), playerList(player).pAvailableMoves)
randomNumber = RandomClass.Next(1, 4)
Loop
End If

'this sets the players chosen move property
playerList(player).pMove = availableMoves(randomNumber)

End Sub

Hopefully that makes sense...VS2005 just freezes and i have to stop debuggin and after 3hours cannot work out how to fix it!!!

thanks guys. i still don't understand why i cant call:

playerList(1).mMove(1)

this should (in my head) determine a random move for player1...???
