Let's go!

Example:



Step 1

Create a new flash document. Press Ctrl+J key on the keyboard (Document Properties) and set the dimensions of your document as whatever you like. Select any color as background color. Set your Flash movie's frame rate to 30 and click ok.



Step 2

Draw any object or import any image into a flash stage which you like to use for this lesson.

Step 3

While the image or object is still selected, hit F8 key (Convert to Symbol) to convert it into a Movie Clip Symbol.

Step 4

While the new made Movie Clip is still selected, go to the Properties Panel below the stage. On the left side, You will find the Instance name input field there. Call this Movie Clip image_mc. See the picture below!



Step 5

Select now the first frame of layer 1 and go to the AS panel (F9). After that, enter this code inside the actions panel:

var posx:Number = image_mc.x; 
var posy:Number = image_mc.y; 
image_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, shakeIt); 
function shakeIt(event:Event):void { 
image_mc.x = posx+(Math.floor(Math.random()*8)); 
image_mc.y = posy+(Math.floor(Math.random()*8)); 
image_mc.rotation = Math.random()*12; 
} 

We're done!
