Now that is crazy. I’ve done almost the same thing (not as good) for the contest :crazy:

//pom 31/03/2003
d=1;
l=2;
df=3;
maxAngle=120;
nRoot=8;
function growRoot (x,y,ang,size,maxLength) {
	var mc=_root.createEmptyMovieClip("r",d++);
	mc.lineStyle(size,0,100);
	mc.moveTo(x,y);
	mc.old_x = x;
	mc.old_y = y;
	mc.count=0;
	mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
		if (this.count < maxLength){
			var next_x = this.old_x + l*Math.cos(ang*Math.PI/180) + df*(Math.random()-.5);
			var next_y = this.old_y + l*Math.sin(ang*Math.PI/180) + df*(Math.random()-.5);
			this.lineTo(next_x,next_y);
			this.old_x = next_x;
			this.old_y = next_y;
			this.count++;
			if (Math.random() > .96 && size) growRoot(next_x,next_y,ang+random(maxAngle)-maxAngle/2,size-1,maxLength/2);
		}
		else delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}
}
for (var n=0;n < nRoot;n++) growRoot(Stage.width/2,Stage.height/2,360*n/nRoot,4,120);

I guess he was inspired by the lightining thread too… :love:

And for those who are wondering what file he’s talking about, it’s this one: http://levitated.net/daily/levMainVein.html
One of the most amazing pieces of Flash I’ve ever seen (and it’s Flash 5…).

march 31 was just an extension of march 30th (which i personally like better). about half way through i realized i had pretty much recreated levitated’s vein. as far as the panning, i just keep track of the 6 active branches (it maxes out at 6) and average them and ease the whole enclosing movie clip to that point.

you make it sound so easy :stuck_out_tongue:
