i want balls to go around randomly, i got that. but how do i make them go all the way to the specified border instead of stopping in the middle.

if(ball._x < rightborder )
{
ball._x keep moving right
}else{
ball._x stop moving
}
???

if you post your AS, we can help you a lil more…

function getdistance(x, y, x1, y1) {
var run, rise;
run = x1-x;
rise = y1-y;
return (_root.hyp(run, rise));
}
function hyp(a, b) {
return (Math.sqrt(aa+bb));
}
MovieClip.prototype.reset = function() {
//specify the width and height of the movie
width = 550;
height = 400;
//-------------------
var dist, norm;
this.x = this._x;
this.y = this._y;
this.speed = Math.random()*4+60
;
this.targx = Math.random()*width;
this.targy = Math.random()*height;
dist = _root.getdistance(this.x, this.y, this.targx, this.targy);
norm = this.speed/dist;
this.diffx = (this.targx-this.x)*norm;
this.diffy = (this.targy-this.y)*norm;
};
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
if (_root.getdistance(this.x, this.y, this.targx, this.targy)>this.speed) {
this.x += this.diffx;
this.y += this.diffy;
} else {
this.x = this.targx;
this.y = this.targy;
if (!this.t) {
this.t = getTimer();
}
if (getTimer()-this.t>1) {
this.reset();
this.t = 0;
}
}
this._x = this.x;
this._y = this.y;
};
