Hi, I’m trying to make a textfield appears in a random place of my stage everytime i click on it (stage).

this is my code until now:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);  
function myFunction(myevent:MouseEvent):void {  
var myText:TextField = new TextField;  
var myTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat;

myTextFormat.color = Math.random() \*0xffffff;  
myTextFormat.size = Math.random() \*20;

myText.text = “This is my text”;  
myText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;  
addChild(myText);  
}

really i try to make a textfield only in B/W (no more colors, but with a random alpha value).  
yeah i’m a randomholic…

random size, random place, random alpha, random rotation, and even random font. thats what i wanna make.

plz, any suggestions or ideas?

thx.
