Hi. Pls let me first say that I’m new here, although i have worked with Flash (pre v5), from a design background, i struggle with actionscripting. but i am learning…

Re: Random Movement in Flash MX

I am currently reading through the actionscript dictionary, trying to make head or tail of this script. Basically, I’m hoping to modify this script to work contained within a movieclip (as opposed to directly at \_root / level\_0).

I can grasp the basics of assigning a relative path. but beyond that i am scared. any help to break up the script, and help me understand. or. suggest a starting point for solving this problem! :tb:
