Can someone please help me with my dilemma? I’m trying to make something that creates an instance of a certain class. Then that child executes certain functions. I got that. Now I need to make something that creates these instances at a set y coordinate, but a random x coordinate between 1 and the stage width. I did that using Math.random between 1 and stage.stageWidth. Now here comes my dilemma (if you actually read this far):

I need to make the function that creates these instances at random x coordinates create them at random times. For instance, one time that this is executed, the instances could be created at the x coordinates of 5, 368, and 231, at the times of 10 frames, 18 frames, and 6 frames. But the instances cannot be created in less than 5 frames, and later than 30 frames.

I would REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate any help with this. I REALLY can’t get this to work right and I’ve been working on this for a REALLY long time. So please, if you can, help me out here =D

Thanks,
