Hello, I’m Lendl, and this is my first post on the Kirupa Forums.
I am a “semi” flash designer, fairly good at everything except actionscript (which means I’m really not good at anything at all).
I’m familiar with other coding languages (especially PHP and MySQL) so I can usually understand what an action script is doing; my problem comes when I try to write a script.
Thanks to sites like Kirupa.com, Actionscript.org, amd Flashkit, I’ve been able to get some fairly simple scripts written, but theres’ one script that I have found NO tutorials on. Which is why I’m posting here… 
(Duh)
Anyway I’m tryign to find out how to do respawning. It’s a broad term in flash, so I’ll explain exactly what I’m trying to do. I create a symbol (for this example, a Square). What I want to do, is tell flash (via actionscript) to make between 15-20 copies of that symbol with random properties (such as height, width, and alpha). Then I want it to tell them to move at random speeds on an X axis.
Any ideas on how best to do this, or where I can find a tutorial about it?
