Hi,

new to the forum. Looks like really helpful place.

I'm trying to put together a pretty simple dot race where you simply press play and it generates a random race winner. I've been able to figure out how to do that with just having the objects move to right from left using math.random (see below). I'm wondering, though, how do I get the racing movie clips to follow a motion trail instead of just moving from left to right. Any ideas? Thanks!

// ON movieclip
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Start IF statement
if (_root.raceover == 0) {
// ID of DOT ( change this on every dot 1-2-3 etx)
id = 1;
// Movement of DOT
ran = math.round(math.random()*7+3);
this._x += ran;
// Finnish line
if (this._x>500) {
_root.raceover = 1;
_root.winner = id;
}
}
// Get all dots to return
if (_root.raceover == 1) {
// Start porition
this._x = 25;
}
}
