FLASH: Random ?

[Andrei]

Hello flashers !

    I am trying to make a game and I need the units to move all over the screen

but with my script , they are pretty stupid and only move in a limited area .I

guess I am wrong at the random part ... I know that in C there's a kind of

function that 'seeds'the random number ..here I don't know how to get a real

random behaviour...well..except making very complicated expressions for

generating a number...is there any other better way (sure,all are better than

mine! :)..here's a part of the script :

(n is the number of units(MC's)).

--

Set Variable: "n" = 2

Set Variable: "i" = 1

Loop While (i<=n)

      If (GetProperty (Eval("/p"&i),_x) <=400 )

            Set Property (Eval("/p"&i), X Position) = GetProperty

(Eval("/p"&i),_x) + Random (10)

      End If


      If (GetProperty (Eval("/p"&i),_x) >=10)

            Set Property (Eval("/p"&i), X Position) = GetProperty

(Eval("/p"&i),_x) - Random (10)

      End If


    // and the same for Y...

      Set Variable: "i" = i+1

End Loop

--


thanks a lot for any help !

Andrei.

PS ... any new cool stuff in Flash 5 for game development ?
