[F8] Can't find good random motion tutorial ANYWHERE!

[gecko.jsc]

Please can someone help? I've looked everywhere for a good random motion tutorial, and i've found quite a few! But none of them get the object to face in the direction it is moving. I am currently making a cool game called Pligas. It's going to be a bit like the microlife game, and that's exactly the sort of random motion I want. Please?

do your characters already randomly move like in micro life? if they do can you please tell me how to do that?
ps: thats not a lizard its a pokemon

Thanks, that kind of helps... but if we could mix that with a random motion script like this:

onClipEvent (load) { 
//data you may want to change 
width = 550; 
height = 400; 
speed = Math.round(Math.random()*2)+1; 
//initial positions 
x = this._x=Math.random()*width; 
y = this._y=Math.random()*height; 
x_new = Math.random()*width; 
y_new = Math.random()*height; 
} 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { 
//x movement 
if (x_new>this._x) { 
sign_x = 1; 
} else { 
sign_x = -1; 
} 
dx = Math.abs(x_new-this._x); 
if ((dx>speed) || (dx<-speed)) { 
this._x += sign_x*speed; 
} else { 
x_new = Math.random()*width; 
} 
//y movement 
if (y_new>this._y) { 
sign_y = 1; 
} else { 
sign_y = -1; 
} 
dy = Math.abs(y_new-this._y); 
if ((dy>speed) || (dy<-speed)) { 
this._y += sign_y*speed; 
} else { 
y_new = Math.random()*height; 
} 
}

It would be PERFECT!
The thing is, I'm only 11 years old, so I'm not the best scripter, but we could TRY to get it working.

Also, I know that thing is a pokemon, but, it's like a lizard pokemon lizardy thingy. I'm mad about lizard's, I even have a pet one!
