createjs has a tweenjs library you can use, TweenJS v0.6.2 API Documentation : TweenJS

Is the code something you paste into the output tab of the timeline?

[Colin Holgate]

Code goes into the Actions panel. You select a frame in the timeline where you want the code to go, then you type the code into the Actions panel.

Here's an introduction on the topic:

This is not a thing that exists. The timeline does not have tabs. There is an Output window, which can be docked with other windows. As its name implies, it's for output, not input. You do not paste things into it, ever.

If you're not experienced with JavaScript, timeline animation would be the easiest way to achieve a wiggle animation.  Just make a few keyframes at different positions & rotations, and the add classic tweens between the keyframes.

For movement to actually be completely random, that would require math & code.  I found an example which isn't quite what you want, but it can give you an idea of what kind of coding goes into that: http://codepen.io/rauluranga/pen/KwoBdE

This is such a typical problem. Its great that you can achive a wiggle effect inside of a html page in animate, but you cant achive it in an exported mp4 animation, which is a serious flaw (in my opinion). While I understand that animate wants a userfriendly workflow combined with its strong ability to work with html5. In the end animation wise (if its not in a html page) it is limiting, we really need a good procedural 2d vector animation software, because after effects is a compositing software and its limited in animation. I know that toon boon harmony has some kind of procedural system implemented, but it seems like its a mix between procedural and user friendly linear, not just procedural (like houdini in 3d).

@Gergő5E8A 

i think you posted in the wrong thread. what are you trying to do?

[Gergő5E8A]

No I didn't. I just commented on the situation, because it its a good example of animate why sometimes a linear workflow in a software can be problematic

Sorry for the bad grammar I just woke up
