random movement

[karlzoe2]

ok this is the jive. i am creating a movie which has four pics arrange in a column to the right. i also have four buttons to the left. this is what i want to do but i dont want to go through the long process of doing it manually, so i am asking for help with the action script.


THE TASK IS THAT WHEN I CLICK ON ANY BUTTON I WANT THE POSITION OF THE PICS TO CHANGE RAMDOMLY (i guess it can be done)

please make this sad newbie happy!!! :D

Have a look at this, I used a shuffling function I had created for a card game and adapted it.

Kirupa is always on my fav list
//randome with Interval
//movie clip's name = MC
//on the first framefunction move(){
tick = random (550) //or Stage.width
}
setInterval(move,1000)
mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x += (_root.tick-this._x)/5
this._y += (_root.tick-this._y)/5
}
