Hi

Im new to transitions (using Flash 8) and I am working my way through the transition tutorials on this cool site.

I can successfuly move objects, fade in fade out, use easing in a fashion.

Here’s what I would really like to accomplish this Bank Holiday Monday (UK).

How could I use transitions to make a button/mc to appear to wander? Ive seen it on other sites so must be possible.

Example - the mc wanders between 10 px each side \_x/\_y slowly, randomly with easing? Giving the effect it is floating. Should I be looking into math randoms? Does that make sense to anyone?

The finished idea is text in a series of mc’s are slowly fading in, whilst slowly wandering/floating and then fades away

Any help or advice would be most welcome, or any point towards a thread or tutorial.

Thanks in advance
