error when creating random moving object [solved]

Post by sms5138 » Thu Jul 16, 2015 4:04 pm

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a box that will move randomly about the screen, and can't seem to get it to work. when i open the card it will place the object in a random location, but will not move after that. Here's what i've found to work to at least get it to move upon opening, but it does not seem to move after that...

Code: Select all

on openCard
   moveImage
end openCard


on moveImage
   put random(100) into x
   put random(200) into y
   set the loc of image id 1015 to x,y
   
   send “moveImage” to me in 2 seconds
end moveImage
I'm hoping someone may have some insight as to what i'm missing.

thanks in advance!

Sean

Hi Sean,

You have curly quotes around the image name. These need to be straight or the script will silently break.

Code: Select all

send "moveImage" to me in 2 seconds
Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
