You want to duplicate an MC and have it move to random locations? If you're using AS 2.0, then you'll use duplicateMovieClip.

Do you want to do it at runtime or authoring time?

[fabo792]

i would like to do it at runtime the code is normal

[samac1068]

You would use something like this:

 attachMovieClip(linkage Name, Stage Name, depth,{_x:Math.random()*550, _y:Math.random()*310});

[fabo792]

i dont know how to put the stage name and stuff in. my symbol movie clip is called target what is linkage name, stage name, and depth???

[fabo792]

here is my other symbols script

onClipEvent (load) {
    this._x = random(550);
    this._y = random(310)+90;
}
on (press) {
    _root.score += 5;
    this.gotoAndPlay(4);
}
