Hello reader, I have a small problem with repositioning dynamicly attached mc’s

In my flash I attachMovie 50 times and place them randomly…this works perfect, but now I want to move their position with the click of a button

```auto
for (i=0; i<aantal; i++) {
                //nieuwe random positie maken voor de edelstenen
                x2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(500-50+1))+50;
                y2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(500-50+1))+50;
                with ("edelsteen"+i) {
                    this._x = x2;
                    this._y = y2;
                }
            }

```

this somehow works…but with only one mc…I want them ALL to repositioning.

Anyone know where Im wrong ?

				x2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(500-50+1))+50;
				y2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*(500-50+1))+50;
				_root["edelsteen"+v]._x = x2;
				_root["edelsteen"+v]._y = y2;
			}
		}

```

ah I found it 😃

```auto

    var tempPath = this.attachMovie("edel", "edelsteen"+i, i);
    tempPath._x = Math.floor(Math.random()*(500-50+1))+50;
    tempPath._y = Math.floor(Math.random()*(500-50+1))+50;
}

```

Oh i see youve already ot it… well this will also work, and its cleaner! :thumb:
