Hey,

This should help, its pretty simple, to make a symbol move randomly your code should be something like this. For example say you have an MC named circle.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.circle._y=random((100) + 50);
}
}

I'm sure you know what this does, if not post again.
Hopefully this will help you!

Hey neomaster,

Without the .fla I can't really see whats wrong your code maybe you forgot to name the instance or something, but if you want to send me the .fla, I could see whats going on!

I created a MC
and named it "circle"
and then in frame 1 I entered your script and nothing happened.

Hey,

The reason its not working is because you attached the code to a frame rather then a movieclip. When you create the circle mc attach the code to that circle mc on the stage, because the onClipEvent(enterFrame){ part of the code that I gave you will only work if you attach it to a movie clip. The enterframe part of the code keeps repeating everything that you enter after the onClipEvent(enterFrame) part of the code. So just attach the code that I posted to the circle mc and make sure its onClipEvent(enterFrame) and not onClipEvent(load). Hope this helps!
