I have been trying to make this certain thing work… Like the random movement tutorial… I can make it so things move randomly but how can I make this move randombly inside of a button? I followed this tut. [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/random\_motionMX.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/random_motionMX.htm) it works but I need it to work inside of a button and I am not sure how… I can see where you set the height and width but it seems to just move anywhere… Just wondering how to get random movement inside of a button. ---

Have you tried specifying the width and height of the button instead of the dimensions of movie itself? Just a thought… 🙂 Cello ---

Hey guys. Yeah I have set the width and height in the button actions itself like it shows on kirupas tut. But it seems to not follow it just go all over… I am using flash mx btw and did the mx tut. How do I get that effect in a button ? I was using 2 layers before wone with the button and one with the movie clip effect… Hmmm just confused on how to make it work inside of a button. ---

because that effect is meant for the main timeline. And I don’t think its possible to put it in a button… .a movieclip maybe… not a button. ---
