In [kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random.htm](http://kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random.htm) the animation does not run. I did the tutorial on my pc (mac) and de .swf work, but if i upload it, it does not run either. ???
Another question. is it possible that the random movement may only occur in a specific area of the movie. Thanks

welcome to the forums !
works fine for me - check you’ve got the latest flash player
oh and check the passage about being a specific area of the movie (it’s in the tut):

If you are using MX you need to do the MX tutorial not the Flash 5 tutorial…
