Question

Random Object Movement

Hey everyone,

I have a flash programming research assignment using AS3.

The assignment is to create a random object that moves in a direction upon testing movie. After 2-3 seconds the object needs to change random directions.

Any bits of code or help you all can give would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Wolfordsworks

Since you said this is a research assignment I'm not going to write the code for you but I'll tell you what to do.

Create a function that gets called using time interval (your 2-3 seconds)...see the Flash help docs to see how to do this.

Within the function use the tween class to set and tween the x and y of your object.  The values of the x and y can be set to a random number using Math.random();

Again more information and samples on these functions can be found in the flash help docs.

Regards,

Dan.
