var myObj:Object = new Object();  
Mouse.addListener(myObj);  
function nameMove() {  
for (var i:Number = 0; i\<5; i++) {  
var wordContact:MovieClip = attachMovie(“wordContact”, “wordContact”+i, i);  
wordContact.\_x = Math.random()\*Stage.width;  
wordContact.\_y = Math.random()\*Stage.height;  
}  
}  
myObj.onMouseMove = nameMove;

The idea is I have this one line of text that appears 5 times (at once) but the 5 instances keep changing positions whenever the mouse is moved. The code above works fine BUT I do not want this text to appear all over the stage (which is does using Stage.width and Stage.height in my Math.random code).

Instead I want to restrict this action of the text to the upper right hand area of the stage in a space that has a w=566 and a h=74.

How would I achieve this? Thank you.
