I have this amusing script, forgot where it came from, that generates some random movement. It works exported as flash6 as2.0, but is broken in flash7 and up export. Wondering if someone could take a peak and see what the problem is. Thanks very much.

Fla. attached, but this AS just sits on an mc called queenBug.
