I am using version koolmoves 4.0 so that may be the difference. I originaly used the code for flask mx and was trying to get it to work in koolmoves. Thank you

the original code was in the time line and the following was in a mc. The idea is that a clip could be randomized 35 times to give a background effect. Each clip would have a different size. I got the code from www.kirupa.com's site. I did figure another way around.

(I should have given this in the beginning)
the code that was in the movie clip was

onClipEvent(load){
_x = Math.random()*800;
speed = Math.random()*5 + 1;
_y = Math.random()*600 - (_height/2);
_xscale = Math.random()*400;
_yscale = Math.random()*400;
_alpha = Math.random()*30+10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x += speed;
if(_x >= 800){
_xscale = Math.random()*150;
_yscale = Math.random()*150;
speed = Math.random()*5 + 1;
_y = Math.random()*600 - (_height/2);
_x = _width*-1;
_alpha = Math.random()*30+10;
}
}
