1.) In this tutorial I will show you how to generate a symbol you have created to randomly select a location on the x axis .

2.) You will first of all be working with 2 symbols and your actions panel..

3.) Select your symbol, and make sure it has been given an instance name. .

4.) Open your actions panel, and assign the object to pick a random location on the axis using the ._x extension, and the random() function. I chose 500, so it will be generated on a random location within 500 pixels of the main timeline. I also used the onClipEvent(load) function, so that the code would only be executed once, and he will only be assigned 1 locaion when executed..

5.) When published you will see that the location of the symbol you have placed, was set on a random place on the screen.
