Hi Pedro,
A couple of things:
Are you trying to place the MovieClips once in random places, or make
them move to random places? Your code suggests one-time placement. What
you say below suggests movement on the stage.
Also, have you checked your random calculations? If you divide (/)
Math.random, you will always get a number less than 1. Math.random()
returns a number between 0 and 1 which can then be multiplied to get
numbers usable for the stage coordinates.
If you are trying to place the clips one time on attachment, here is a
function, based on the code you sent, that works:
random100=Math.random()*100;
random500=Math.random()*500;
// Assumes you've already created the MovieClip, "canvas".
function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i<2; i++) {
canvas.attachMovie("code","code"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
canvas.code1._x = random500;
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._y = Stage.height /2;
}
attachMovies();
This will place code1 at the some random point between (0,0) and (500,
100), and place code2 at center stage, offset by it's own registration point
hth,
Bob.

sorry. I forgot to copy this.

- how do i do to define the x and y position of each mc separately?
I don't get it.. what do you want to do here?
what i want is to make one ofthose mcs moveup and downand the other
right-left. Theproblem is tht i just can not do it
function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i<2; i++) {//iwantto place each of those mc-s into a
different placeon the stage. I am not sure this is the right way.
canvas.attachMovie ("code","code"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
//didn't it created on mc named code1 and another code2????
canvas.code1._x = random500;//i triyed something like
canvas.code1._x=500; instead of this but it didn't work. what i am doing
wrong??
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.height /2;
}

You could also use random(500), but is deprecated -

Hi Pedro,
Try this instead:
Math.random()*500;
Here's a simplistic but clear tutorial on the subject:

Hello
i got this code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas",this.getNextHighestDepth());
//creates an
empty MC in which i attach 2 textMCs
canvas._x = random500;//should place the MCs to a random position when
they
load but it doesn't work?!?-----------------------------What is wrong
here?
canvas._y = random100;
attachMovieInterval = setInterval(attachMovies, 200);//set interval
for
green mc reload
function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i<2; i++) {
canvas.attachMovie("code","code"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
canvas.code1._x = random500;
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.height/2;//how do i do to define the x
and y
position of each mc separately?
}
}
sorry for writing it so briefly. My keyboard doesn't work well and i
cannot
type a lot
