I found this great piece of Actionscript code for creating a Flash animation of confetti falling. The only problem is that it uses random numbers. I want to use it for a Google image ad and Google ads don’t permit random numbers. I have even tried animating each of the pieces of confetti manually but this pushes up the file size to way over 50K which is the size limit for a Google ad.
Any ideas would be most appreciated!

First name layer 1 “confetti” and create a new layer and name it “controL”. make a small 7*7 red square on the confetti layer, convert it 2 a movie clip and name it “confetti1”. put this code of frame1 of the “control” layer:
numConfetti = 100;
for (i=2; i<=numConfetti; i++) {
confetti1.duplicateMovieClip("confetti"+i, i+100);
}
then add these actions to the "confetti1" clip:
onClipEvent (load) {
function reset() {
//generate the random color
R = random(256);
G = random(256);
B = random(256);
colorHexString = R.toString(16)+G.toString(16)+B.toString(16);
colorHex = parseInt(colorHexString, 16);
hairColor = new Color(this);
hairColor.setRGB(colorHex);
//generates random movemtn onscreen
xSpeed = random(3)+1;
ySpeed = (Math.random()+1)*random(5)+1;
if (ySpeed == 1) {
ySpeed = (Math.random()+1)*random(5)+1;
}
direction = random(2)+1;
//randomly places confetti at the top of the screen
position = random(550)+1;
_x = position;
_y = 0;
}
reset();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//makes the confetti fall
_y += ySpeed;
directionChange = random(10)+1;
if (directionChange == 1) {
direction = random(2)+1;
xSpeed = random(3)+1;
}
if (direction == 1) {
_x += xSpeed;
}
if (direction == 2) {
_x -= xSpeed;
}
if (_y>400) {
reset();
}
}
