I am trying to generate random motion in flash and can’t seem to make it work.  
Any help will be much appreciated

newpos = function () {  
ranx = Math.random ()\*250);  
rany = Math.random ()\*250);  
}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
newpos ()  
this.\_x = ranx;  
this.\_y = rany;  
}

acceleration = 10  
newpos = function () {  
ranx = Math.round((Math.random ()\*250));  
rany = Math.round ((Math.random ()\*250));  
}  
newpos();  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x += ((ranx-this.\_x)/ acceleration);  
this.\_y += ((rany-this.\_y)/ acceleration);  
};

acceleration = 10  
newpos = function () {  
ranx = Math.round((Math.random ()\*250));  
rany = Math.round ((Math.random ()\*250));  
}  
newpos();  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x += ((ranx-this.\_x)/acceleration);  
this.\_y += ((rany-this.\_y)/acceleration);  
if (Math.round(this.\_x) == ranx || Math.round(this.\_y) == rany) {  
newpos();  
}  
};
