Hey,  
I tried making this lightsaber effect using a video that I imported into flash. It looks ok, but I’m not sure how to use the gradient fills correctly. I know I could make it look more realistic if the colors could stand out a bit more or have some sort of lens flare effect with the fill…i’m not quite sure how to do this, so a little help?

The .fla is too big to post, but I have a link to the swf…
