on enterframe makes the balls fly out in differant directions from the Stage center

[T1ger]

I guess you have dragged 6 movieclips onto the stage and named them raj1 - raj6? Alternative to this is to create them dynamically. Right click on the MC in the library, and click "linkage", choose export for actionscript, and write "ball" in the identifier input field, then ok.

then you can put this in first frame:

stop();
startX = Stage.width/2; //where the balls start, x-value
startY = Stage.height/2; //where the balls start, y-value
ballNum = 6; //this is how many balls we will have
speed = 2; //the speed of the balls
for (i=0;i<ballNum;i++) { //create the balls
    //attach the MC to the stage and store it temporary in the variable ball
    ball = attachMovie("ball", "ball"+i, i); //(linkage name, new name ball0, ball1, etc, and depth i)
    //Put the ball in the middle of the stage
    ball._x = startX;
    ball._y = startY;
    //Make a random angle for each ball, in radians. Degrees goes from 0-360 degrees, radians is the same, it just goes from 0-2*PI, or 0-6.28.
    //Math.random() returns a number between 0 and 1.
    ball.angle = Math.random()*Math.PI*2;
    //set the x and y-speed for this ball
    ball.xSpeed = Math.cos(ball.angle);
    ball.ySpeed = Math.sin(ball.angle);
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    //loop through all balls
    for (i=0;i<ballNum;i++) {
        //put the ball in a temporary variable "ball"
        ball = this["ball"+i];
        //add xspeed and yspeed to the _x and _y variable
        ball._x += ball.xSpeed;
        ball._y += ball.ySpeed;
    }
} 

Try to understand this, I have commented everything

Hi T1ger

this script works exectly i wanted to, Thakns once again for your help.


do you suggest any book or any article on the net to developed the scripting skill

Thanks once again!

Regards.
