Hi All,

I need to get a random xy value from a circle, for example going to spread circles on stage randomly. Its quiet easy to spread the circle in a square.

Here that was done…

* * *

var MC:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

var squareWidth:Number=200;  
var squareHeight:Number=200;

for (var i:int=0; i\<=100; i++) {  
MC=drawCircle();  
MC.id=i;  
MC.x=Math.random()\*squareWidth;  
MC.y=Math.random()\*squareHeight;  
addChild(MC);  
}

## function drawCircle() { var circle:MovieClip=new MovieClip(); circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF6600); circle.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,10); return (circle); }

Can anyone modify this code and spread those circle within a circle ?
