just thought i'd share my version

Yeh, that's a good one.
Can you make it 3 lines long? ;)

_global.shakeScreen = function(period:Number, strength:Number) {
(_root.t = 0, startX = _root._x, startY = _root._y);
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
(_root._x = random(strength) - (strength / 2) + startX, _root._y = random(strength) - (strength / 2) + startY, _root.t++, _root.t > period ? (_root._x = startX, _root._y = startY, _root.onEnterFrame = undefined) : null);
};
};
shakeScreen(10, 10);

thats uber helpful -Toast- ta very much :)

oh you meant the entire code, well no i cant. but this doesnt have to be called along with an interval.
its just
shakeScreen(time,power)
for more convienience

Yes, but if you have any other onEnterFrame functions on the _root then they won't work =\

};
};
shakeScreen(10, 10);

BAM!

oops......

_global.shakeScreen = function(period:Number, strength:Number) {
(_root.t = 0, startX = _root._x, startY = _root._y, _root.createEmptyMovieClip("screenShaker", _root.getNextHighestDepth()));
_root.screenShaker.onEnterFrame = function() {

};
};
shakeScreen(10, 10);

and uh... bam...

huh, oh fuck, this was made by toast, just ignore me now, i'm tired and my dog is sleeping on my arm making it super hard to type.

thanks to both of you, and let us pray i don't end up posting again to say "wait, i fucked up again" XD

_root.onEnterFrame=function(){_x+=random(3
)-1;_y+=random(3)-1;}

OMG ONE LINE

Lol. I was wondering why no one was just thinking of making the screen's x and y random...everyone is making functions and crap >=( that's too confusing to noobs.

Three (formatting lol), but still.. it's not as easy to use than:

shakeScreen(10);

or whatever =P
