Hi all. I’m trying to achieve random motion of my movie clips limited from stage left to stage right. I’ve read the following tutorials:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/continuousmovement.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/continuousmovement.htm)

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/random\_motionMX.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/random_motionMX.htm)

both are helpful. However, I don’t want mouse position to affect anything (as it does in the ‘continuous movement’ tutorial). The ‘random motion’ code is pretty close…if I just knew what part of the code to modify to limit motion from left to right.

Can anyone offer some advice?
