[FlashLite 2.1 ActionScript] How to load movie clips into random positions?

Hello,

I have three movie clips on my stage. Their names in my library are a1_mc, a1_mc2, and a1_mc3. Each of those movie clips on my stage has a different instance name. All of these are connected with an actionscript in the same file.

Now, I’d like the movie clips to appear at a random position every time, they are loaded.

I already tried to make a new array and solve this issue with the sort() command. However, that did not work out properly.

The positions and instance names of the movie clips on my stage are as follows:

a1_mc
instance name on stage: a1
position on stage: X = 20.0 | Y = 140.0

a1_mc2
instance name on stage: a2
position on stage: X = 20.0 | Y = 200.0

a1_mc3
instance name on stage: a3
position on stage: X = 20.0 | Y = 260.0

I’d be grateful if anyone could help me out here.

Thank you very much in advance.

With kind regards,
B-Ball
