Subject: RE: FLASH: Randomize Movie Clip Placement : Revisited

Hi Flash (ah ahhhh!)

Can't you not just use something like (for a default sized movie):
SetProperty("/yourtarget", _x) = Random (550)
SetProperty("/yourtarget", _y) = Random (400)
SetProperty("/yournexttarget", _x) = Random (550)
SetProperty("/yournexttarget", _y) = Random (400)

If you give the movies array-like names (eg object1, object2), you can
perform all this code in a loop without writing all the movement code for
each object. These actions can be assigned to the first frame in your movie,
or to a button action or both.
The clever thing would be able to set them randomly and be sure that they
will never overlap each other...that's a whole can o' worms i'm not touching
right now!

hth

Hmm..
To clarify (or maybe muddy things up)...
The site from Kurt Dommermuth is pretty cool, but it seems that each of
those "globules" is a duplicate movie clip. I am wanting to have several
DIFFERENT movie clips randomized (and stationary) at the start of a movie
and at the click of a button...

Thanks for the help so far! This list is always my first and best resource!
