For two days now I have been struggling and posting continuously. If there is any one out ther that might be able to help me make an object randomly move around the screen, not just jump from place to place but actually move. I have trie this script.

onCLipEvent(enterFrame){
Xspeed = 5;
Yspeed = 5;
this._x = random (Xspeed)+5;
this._y = random (Yspeed)+5;
}


but this just makes him go up, up, up, and away.
Help plz.

Lol, hello again. Common problem, simple solution.

Basically what you're doing is generating a random coordinate and then your character moves to that spot without actually having a fluid movement, or as some call it, "easing" to that spot.

What you need to do is use that random coordinate to act as a target/objective for your character to move to. Below is an example of what I mean. Basically, it generates a random coordinate, turns to its objective point and then goes to that point.

-Hope this helps you. Good luck.

As a side note, the easing tutorial on bit-101.com works wonders for this type of movement. It's also very thorough, and you'll probably pick up a thing or two.
