[Question: Adobe Animate - Random Movement]

Greetings guys,

 

I'm fairly new to GreenSock and Coding, like everyone who is just getting started, I quickly arrived at a point where I don't know how to continue:

 

I'm working in Adobe Animate and I wanted my movieclip hexagon (InstName = hexagon) to move randomly on my canvas. 

As an end goal, I wanted several hexagons to move around randomly, maybe even change in size, and I wanted it to play infinitely (screenshots attached).

 

I found an old tutorial with some code and tried to apply it, but it didn't work. Can anyone tell me why? Is it because I'm using jQuery?

 

Scripts included:

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.20.3/TweenMax.min.js

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js

 

Code:

 

var randX;
var randY;

function randomNumbers(){
    
    randX = Math.floor(Math.random()*100);
    randY = Math.floor(Math.random()*150);
    moveMe();
}

randomNumbers();

function moveMe(){
    sym.$("hexagon").animate({left: randX, top: randY},1000, randomNumbers);
}

 

 

How can I achieve my goal? Or can anyone please send me a link where a similar topic is solved and discussed?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
