Game: Random heart 1

Problem 1:  We learned how to use random to generate whole number random numbers. Then we learned how to use the random number to set _x and _y position as a frame action on a 3 second, 36 frame movie. 

• Generating Random Numbers 1
• Generating Random Numbers 2 
• Generating Random Number 3 Rounding down
• Generating Random Numbers 4: Rounding down
• Random Horizontal and Vertical Placement of a Movie Clip

1. Draw a heart and make it into a button.
2. Set the button instance name in the properties inspector
3. Assign a random script to your button with an event handler (on) and the event (release or rollover) to activate the moving of your heart symbol to a new random location on the stage based on _x and _y.

Examine the script below. What size stage is this script written for if it is mean to place the heart all over the stage?

on (release) { setProperty(_root.heart, _x, Math.ceil(Math.random()*600)); setProperty(_root.heart, _y, Math.ceil(Math.random()*400)); }
