[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/filmgrain.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/filmgrain.htm) That link is to a tutorial for a grain effect. I am REALLY new & trying to teach myself flash through tutorials and books and this may be a real dumb question BUT… My question is this… In the tutorial she says to use a black background, but the example she is using is an image, and I want to do that to an image just as they have in thier example. Anyway, in the intructions there is no mention of the image itself, just the grainy animation …Help
