oh, and in case you're interested:

set up a bounding box (rectangular movie clip) on your stage where you want the teddies to mosh around in.

then, on a frame of the root timeline, set up the coordinates of the bounding box with (where boundingBox_mc is its instance name):


// define boundingBox's coordinates
boundLeft = boundingBox_mc._x;
boundRight = boundingBox_mc._x+boundingBox_mc._width;
boundTop = boundingBox_mc._y;
boundBottom = boundingBox_mc._y+boundingBox_mc._height;

then on the first frame of your bear movie clip:


// start jumping
randomMove = 50;

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
//init xpos movements
newXpos = this._x+(random(randomMove)-(randomMove/2));
curXpos = this._x;
if(curXpos<=_root.boundLeft){
newXpos += random(randomMove);
}else{
if(curXpos>=_root.boundRight){
newXpos += -(random(randomMove));
}
}
//init ypos movements
newYpos = this._y+(random(randomMove)-(randomMove/2));
curYpos = this._y;
if(curYpos<=_root.boundTop){
newYpos += random(randomMove);
}else{
if(curYpos>=_root.boundBottom){
newYpos += -(random(randomMove));
}
}
// start moving
this._x = newXpos;
this._y = newYpos;
}

mosh, teddies, mosh.

hehe, but why you chose teddy bears is beyond me.
