Hi everyone,

I followed this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random.asp) and everything works fine. But I need the Random Motion to start at a particular frame so how can I achieve that?

I am a complete beginner in Flash and ActionScript so sorry if that seems like a very stupid question to you.

I got it! Nevermind, guys. All I had to do is to insert the first portion of the code at the frame where I wanted it to start moving.

I have another question now though :sigh:

Kirupa or anyone out there, how do I make the motion start from the center of the movie???

Thanks guys,
