Hi I want to make a sparkler button that shows twinkling stars around the button in random positions. I have made two types of stars (movie clips) 1 - twinkle: this movie clips shows a star appear and disappear with some rotating and alpha channel so the overall effect is like twinkling and revolving star. 2 - same effect star moving on a small curved path. now I want to use action script for onMouseOver event to duplicate these two movie clips in different X Y positions (very close to each other) with a magical sound. I can do the sound part 🙂 but not the actionscript part in which i want to duplicate both clips in random positions and then remove them (if that is necessary to free the resources they are occupying) however the stars affect have a fade in and fade out effect so they disappear automatically. any help is highly appreciated. thank you.
