How to set random x or y position in as2?
for example from 200 to 250?

this._x = Math.random() * 610;

^ thats from zero... but i need from 600 to 610...

Isn't it kinda obvious? You need a random number between 0 and 10. But you want that to start from 600, what do you do?

i need to write like this?
this._x = Math.random(600) * 610;

[TheSexualHero]

actually i need for my x coordinates to be from 600 to 610...

var rx:uint = 600 + Math.random() * 10;

Anybody with a brain can figure this out...

You can use the following algorithm to get numbers in a specific range:

function getRandomNum(min:Number, max:Number):Number
{
         return Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 + (max - min))) + min;
}

So for example, you want a movie clip to spawn in x,y only in the visible screen with a stage size of 640 x 400 px:

var spawnx:int = getRandomNum(0, 640);
var spawny:int = getRandomNum(0, 400);

Hope it helps.

AS2, not AS3.

_x = Math.random() * 10 + 600;

[tonicipriani]

this._x = 600+(Math.random() * 10);

nuuu, don't use "this." - just "_x"
