Fur and hair in 8?

Ahoy forum!

I’ve been looking about all evening and I can’t seem to find any method for putting hair and fur into Flash. I was thinking of putting fur on some on my characters, and I want them to seem a little bit fuzzy because of it.

That would theoretically require half transparencies, which is such a resource hog, but is it possible to do? Even when your machine grinds to a halt to just do it?

(I’d rather use things like vectors to do it, rather than importing bitmaps and then adding in the transparency)

Merci Beaucoup,

Mad!
