If I get your question correctly then maybe you can do something with this? Hopefully it helps :geek:

[edit]  
Erh seems something went wrong with the file?! _gasp_

Anyhow,

I created a movieclip with a dot which had a simple tween effect with an alpha which makes it invisible at the end. At the end frame of this movieclip I also added a bit of script:  
[AS]\_root.rndMove = 1;[/AS]

On the root of the movie itself I added the movieclip and gave it really easy code:  
[AS]onClipEvent(enterframe){  
if(\_root.rndMove == 1){  
\_x = random(200);  
\_y = random(200);  
\_root.rndMove = 0;  
}  
}[/AS]  
The 200’s where my width and height of the movie.

Hope this helps.

Theres 2 random motion tutorials here, one for Flash 5 and one for Flash MX. Make sure you got the right one.
