Ok, same game as before, but I have a new problem:

I want the balls that get attached to be in random positions, but I want them to be set outside the stage. I still want them coming from all directions though. So, basically, I want them to be in random positions around the edge of the stage. Heres a picture of how I need it:


Its hurting my brain, so if anyone could help, that would be great.

I'm not really good with Flash but I used a random code on one of my pieces of work, I got it from a learn flash tutorial but it is on a rollover, i'm not sure if you can apply it to your problem.

on (rollOver) {
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1))+min;
return randomNum;
}
_x = randRange(10,440);
_y = randRange(10,80);
}

Thanks, that should work fine. I'll test it when I get back home.

Didnt read it right. Sorry that doesnt help, it only randomises it inside a square, not around it. Thanks for helping though.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out
