hello, i’m hoping someone can help - i’ve searched everywhere.

I’d like to find/create some AS code that i can use and reuse that will create subtle, random, organic motion based on a set of defined parameters. for instance, i’d like to have, let’s say, a ball on the stage which floats slowly around - up, down, right, left - randomly. but i’d like the motions to be tweened so it doesn’t suddenly change direction - think of a hovering bubble.

i found [this](http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Smart_Clips/Hover_Sm-Ted-4388/index.php):

which sort of does what i want but the movement is much to jerky (and i don’t need the shadow thing). - also it’s a component which i don’t really know how to edit…

i hope i’m explaining this correctly.

i’d eventually like to take this subtly moving ball and stick it on the end of a curveTo type lyne so it’s like a dandilion stalk blowing in the wind.

if anyone can point me in the right direction i’d be most appreciative!
