Hello all.

My knowledge of actionscript is basic, at best.

I’m trying to make some animations move randomly by following a very helpful tutorial posted on this site  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random\_motion.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random_motion.htm)

And everything was going so well until I tried to use my own initiative to limit the width and height of the movement. This is when I realised that I haven’t got a clue what I am doing!

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated as I can literally see my hair falling out all over the keyboard in front of me.

Thank you, please help
