Random Floaty Firefly-Like Movement

1

I’m using a bunch of code that was on kirupa for random movement, I’ve used it in the past and I can’t understand why it isn’t working? :frowning:

Thanks in advance!
I orginally posted this on flashkit forums but I seem to never get any replies? Maybe I ask stupid questions?
