Hello,  
I am new to Flash and while I am learning alot by building my site, I am having some conflicting issues and could use some advice.

I followed a text base mouse trail tutorial and the random vibration tutorial (found here). The issue I am having is being able to use both at the same time. I can either have the text based mouse trail OR the random multiple vibrating circles, but not both. I think it has to do with the “MovieClip” name.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Here is the code for both items:

**Mouse trail - Found in frame one**

Text = “ATOMIC KAT STUDIOS”;  
letters = Text.split("");  
//Format1  
fontformat = new TextFormat();  
fontformat.font = “Verdana”;  
fontformat.align = “center”;  
fontformat.size = “10”;  
fontformat.color = “0xFFFFFF”;  
fontformat.bold=true;  
//format2  
fontformat1 = new TextFormat();  
fontformat1.font = “Verdana”;  
fontformat1.align = “center”;  
fontformat1.size = “10”;  
fontformat1.color = “0xFFFFFF”;  
fontformat1.bold=true;  
spacing = 6;  
speed = 3;  
for (var LTR = 0; LTR\<letters.length; LTR++) {  
mc = \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“l”+LTR, LTR);  
mc.createTextField(“t”+letters[LTR], LTR, LTR\*spacing, 10, 20, 20);  
with (mc[“t”+letters[LTR]]) {  
trace(LTR);

```
    text = letters[LTR];
    //for first 7 characters
    if(LTR&lt;7)
    {
    setTextFormat(fontformat);
    }
    //for after 7 characters
    else
    {
        setTextFormat(fontformat1);
    }
    selectable = false;
}
if (LTR) {
    mc.prevClip = _root["l"+(LTR-1)];
    mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._x = this._x+(this.prevClip._x-this._x+5)/speed;
        this._y = this._y+(this.prevClip._y-this._y)/speed;
    };
} else {
    mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._x = this._x+(_root._xmouse-this._x+10)/speed;
        this._y = this._y+(_root._ymouse-this._y)/speed;
    };
}

```

\*\*Mouse trail - \*\*

onClipEvent (load) {  
//movie width/height  
height = 720;  
width = 1280;  
//------------------------//  
//makes everything random //  
//------------------------//  
this.\_x = Math.round(Math.random()\*width);  
this.\_y = Math.round(Math.random()\*height);  
var temp = this.\_alpha=Math.random()\*100;  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale=temp;  
//setting initiaion position  
cx = this.\_x;  
cy = this.\_y;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
//causes the object to be offset  
this.\_x = cx+(1+Math.random()\*5);  
this.\_y = cy+(1+Math.random()\*5);  
}

**And then the additive code for duplication (vibration):**

for (var i = 0; i\<25; i++) {  
circle.duplicateMovieClip(i, i);  
}
