Sorry, again I’ve to come back here …

I’ve tried to randomly move the object on the stage. But the position shifting is not working properly. Sometimes the objects overlap with another one. Pls check the attached file

```auto

MCArray = [];
Xarray = [];
XarrayYpos = [];
for (var i = 1; i<5; i++) {
 MCArray.push (_root["clip" add i]);
 Xarray.push (_root["clip" add i]._x);
 XarrayYpos.push (_root["clip" add i]._y);
 
 
}
function shuffle() {
 return Math.round(Math.random());
}
function newGame() {
 Xarray.sort(shuffle);
 
 for (var i = 0; i<5; i++) {
  MCArray*._x = Xarray*;
  MCArray*._y = XarrayYpos*;
 }
}
s.onPress = function() {
 newGame();
};

  

```
