setInterval problem

[deFUNKT]

In a valliant attempt to finally start using some MX code, i tried to recode my random moving script from flash 5 to MX. It works, but doesn't seem to ease in and out anymore. I've tried adding updateAfterEvent, but that doesn't seem to work..


This is the Flash 5 code:

onClipEvent(load){
	targetX = Math.round(Math.random()*550);
	targetY = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	xDistance= targetX - _parent.block._x;
	yDistance= targetY - _parent.block._y;
	

	if(xDistance > 10 || xDistance < -10){
		_parent.block._x += xDistance*0.09;
	} else {
		targetX = Math.round(Math.random()*550);
	}
	
	if(yDistance > 10 || yDistance < -10){
		_parent.block._y += yDistance*0.09;
	} else {
		targetY = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
	}


}

and this is the MX code

targetX = Math.round(Math.random()*550);
targetY = Math.round(Math.random()*400);

function checkPos(){
	xDistance= targetX - blok._x;
	yDistance= targetY - blok._y;
	
	if(xDistance> -10 || xDistance < 10){
		targetX = Math.round(Math.random()*550);
	}
	
	if(yDistance> -10 || yDistance < 10){
		targetY = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
	}
}

function move(){
	xDistance= targetX - blok._x;
	yDistance= targetY - blok._y;
	blok._x += xDistance*0.09;
	blok._y += yDistance*0.09;
}

setInterval(checkPos, 88);
updateAfterEvent();
setInterval(move, 88);
updateAfterEvent();

does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can improve the MX script to make it move smoothly again?

Hey!

I use this code for everything, and it works wickidly in MX.
You can just cut and paste it onto any movieclip you want without changing a thing......good luck!





onClipEvent (load) {
targetx = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
targety = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xdiv = Math.round ((targetx - this._x)/5);
this._x = Math.round (this._x + xdiv);

ydiv = Math.round ((targety - this._y)/5);
this._y = Math.round (this._y + ydiv);

if (xdiv == 0){
targetx = Math.round (Math.random ()*400);
}
if (ydiv == 0){
targety = Math.round (Math.random ()*400);
}
}

Thanks for the script, Drum109, but I was more looking for a way to employ those set Interval things in MX
