[AS3] Game help ...?

[kingie94]

I have a character that can be moved with the arrow keys and i want it to collect coins, i have made it so that when it picks up the coin the score goes up by 100,

When the coin is collected i want it to move to a random place..
can anyone help?

Assuming the coin can be anywhere on the Stage:

If the coin is just being repositioned...

coin.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
coin.y = Math.random()*stage.stageHeight;


If a new coin is being instantiated...

var coin:Coin = new Coin();
coin.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
coin.y = Math.random()*stage.stageHeight;


If you want the coin to be confined to a specific area of the stage...

var leftLimit:Number = /*some number*/;
var rightLimit:Number = /*some number*/;
var topLimit:Number = /*some number*/;
var bottomLimit:Number = /*some number*/;

coin.x = (Math.random()*(stage.stageWidth-rightLimit))+leftLimit;
coin.y = (Math.random()*(stage.stageHeight-bottomLimit))+topLimit;
