Fracture a Number

var target:Number = 1024;
var slices:Array = [target];
var leng:int = 11;

for (var i:int = 0; i<leng-1; i++){
	 var index:int = int(Math.random()*slices.length);
	 var val:Number = slices[index];
	 var rand:Number = Math.random() * val/2;
	 slices[index] = val - rand;
	 slices.push(rand);
}

trace(slices);

// test that they all add up
var sum:Number = 0;
for (i = 0; i<slices.length; i++){
	sum += slices[i];
}
trace("test that they all add up: ", sum);

The above snippet creates an array of a specified length whose elements all add up to the variable target. Here is some example output:
