random placement and animation / actionscript 2.0

[cassisdesign]

I am using actionscript 2.0 and I need to have my navigation buttons animate onto the stage using random placement. Also once the user clicks on each individual button that specific button needs to move randomly to another part of the the stage or that movie clip. Here is a link to a website that uses the type of navigation that the client wants to use:

Ah... that'd be a fun one to make!

I think you should do it yourself, it'll be more satisfying ;)

Feel free to post here and ask specific questions if you're having trouble, I'm more than happy to help, but this project is too fun for me to do for you.

If you're completely new to AS 2 or Flash then let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

One idea is that they have a function of some kind that applies a motion tween with random values (within a certain boundary) several times back and forth, decreasing the values until it sits still (perhaps after 4 iterations).

Also notice some of the more subtle but functional aspects of his effect, for example the selected link tends to be "randomly" placed closer to the right (from what I saw from my refreshes it looks like it's randomly assigned an _x in the second half of the mc's width, whereas the rest of the links are assigned a random _x based on the entire width).
