Adding movieclips from library

Hey im wondering how to add multiple movieclips from the library at a random location when you press a button in timelinecode, and how to remove the movieclips with a press of another button

Go to the properties of the movieclip and click “export for actionscript”
In AS2, you would give it an identifier.
In AS3 you would give it a Class name.

Then in AS2 you would write:

var object = _root.attachMovie("identifierName", "objectName", depth);
object._x = Math.random()*Stage._width;
object._y = Math.random()*Stage._height;

In AS3 you would use:

import flash.display.MovieClip;

var object:className = new className;
addChild(object);
object.x = Math.random()*550;
object.y = Math.random()*400; //I'm not sure of the exact term for stage height/width in AS3

To add multiple objects you could use a for loop…

//AS2:
for (var i=0; i<10; i++) {
    var object = _root.attachMovie("identifierName", "objectName"+i, depth+i);
    object._x = Math.random()*Stage._width;
    object._y = Math.random()*Stage._height;
}

//AS3:
var object:className;
for (var i=0; i<10; i++) {
    object = new className;
    addChild(object);
    object.x = Math.random()*550;
    object.y = Math.random()*400;
}
