Help, Random Leaf Blowing-- See Attachment

[addamtron]

i am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out:

i got my leaf to move on a sine wave and have the alpha fade out when it's x position reaches a certain point.

i got the leaf to duplicate as well, but..

what else i want to happen is this:

-----

when leaf _x position=(say 350)
duplicate leaf
randomize leaf starting x position
randomize leaf starting y position
randomize the sine wave length
randomize the sine wave height
randomize leaf speed
end

basically i want to get the effect of leaves blowing off a tree, while having each leaf be different than the other.

i have attached my quick and dirty prototype, any help would be appriciated, this is driving me nutts

You would need the following code to dow what you want:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
  if(_x >= 350){
    duplicateMovieClip(this, "leaf2", 1);
    leaf2._x = Math.random() * Stage.width;
    leaf2._y = Math.random() * Stage.height;
    sinelength = Math.randon() * 10;
    sinewidth = Math.random() * 10;
    speed = Math.random() * 10;
  }
}

You see the *10 pieces of code, hange these to the number you want it to be max of. For example at the moment ith this code, these numbers are random numbers in between 1 and 10.

that didn't seem to do the trick, i am reposting the file with your code added in. maybe i added it in there wrong?

humm.. this can't be that hard, anyone?
