Ok, here some scrip.


//put this bellow on a MC
onClipEvent (load) {
// minimum and maximum values on x and y axis for your mc
minX = 0;
maxX = 550;
minY = 0;
maxY = 400;
// speed of movement
speed = 2;
// destination of the mc
xDest = random(maxX - minX) + minX;
yDest = random(maxY - minY) + minY;
}
// random movement
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Math.round(_x) != xDest) {
_x += xDif;
xDif = (xDest - _x) / speed;
} else {
xDest = random(maxX - minX) + minX;
}
if (Math.round(_y) != yDest) {
_y += yDif;
yDif = (yDest - _y) / speed;
} else {
yDest = random(maxY - minY) + minY;
}
}
