How about instead of setting a new position for the picture, set a target poition. If the picture is not at it's target position, have it move (in a small step) towards it.

code:


randint(chooser,1,4)

if chooser = 1 then
randint (tweenx, 2,maxx[or any number])

for i : 1..tweenx
cls
xpos:=xpos + 10 (or w/e number)
View.Update
end for

elsif chooser = 2 then
for i : tweenx..1
cls
xpos:=xpos - 10 (or w/e number)
View.Update
end for



Thats my suggestion. See if you can adapt that to ypos. You have to have your X and Y coordinates as variables for your picture

If you want more information, you'll probably have to expand on your question. What exactly is the effect you want? Maybe Brownian motion would do?
