Hello,

I’ve done a search and can’t seem to find the right actionscript to add to a movieclip to make it appear as though it was just floating in place. Nothing complicated just a small random floating action where it’s almost as though the letter is just sitting there in 0 gravity. Just slight enough movement to give it a little bit of interest.

I could make keyframes in a movieclip that would do this, but I’d like it to be a little bit more random than that. Plus, actionscripting the effect would lowere the file size.

Any tutorials, references or actionscript that could be added to a movieclip would be appreciated.

Thanks,
