how do I randomly multiply movieclip-function

I have a small movieclip that I move from one place to another with the tween class. But I want the movieclip-function - see code below - to multiply into a flow, that follow each other constantly. Like bloodcells. Preferably randomnly, but still along the same line.

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;
attachMovie("bloodcell","bloodcell_mc",10);
moveBlood = function(){
	new mx.transitions.Tween(bloodcell_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, 30, 500, 1, true);
	new mx.transitions.Tween(bloodcell_mc, "_y", Regular.easeIn, 30, 200, 1, true);
	}

here is a sample code, which may lead you to get the required reason..
just replace your existing code with the following:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;
 
 
 
var total = 20;
for (var i = 0; i<total; i++) {
	var mc = this.attachMovie("bloodcell", "bloodcell_mc"+i, i);
	mc._x = 30*Math.random();
	mc._y = 30*Math.random();
	var duration = 2*Math.random();
	var x = 500+mc._x;
	var y = 200+mc._y;
	moveBloodCell(mc,x,y,duration);
}
 
 
 
 
function moveBloodCell(mc, x, y, duration) {
	new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, mc._x, x, duration, true);
	new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_y", Regular.easeIn, mc._y, y, duration, true);
}

Thanks, excellent.
But is there a way to make the flow continue endlessly. So it doesnt look as if it ends before it restarts.
