I admit that I’m not too smart. I’ve just begun using FMX and I am revamping my website using a full-flash site (flashnetized, or what have you). I really want to use the Random Movement AS that is here, but when I add it to my existing movie - nothing moves. What am I doing wrong? Please help me, I’m dumb.

This is a very common mistake.

There are two random motion tutorials, one for Flash 5 and one for Flash MX. Obviously you will need to use the one for the type of Flash you are using.

The MX tutorial can be found here…

And you are not dumb, as I stated, this is a common mistake people make around here.
