_x and _y troubles

[mooseisloose]

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x = random(450);
}

I put that on my MC because I wanted it to appear anywhere on the X axis inside the canvas... but every frame it appears somewhere else randomly, how do I make it so it appears in a random place on frame 104 and stays there for the rest of the movie? o.O

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = random(450);
}

Use load. That will only let the script run oncec.

right okay now it appears where i've already placed it on stage, everytime... it doesnt go randomly it always appears where I placed it in on the stage

okay I fixed it... but I had to take something else OFF the mc....

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.ship)) {
_root.4secs.play();

}
}

(the mc is called 4secs) now i cant put that on either ship or 4secs because whichever I put it on...... all other scripts on that MC stop working! :'(
