I would like to do a flash for the holidays that has a stylized christmas tree made out of stars. I would like for this tree to “light up” and look like the stars are glittering/shining from the top down. I would also like to have the script look like it it writing itself but with “glitter” falling from the pen. I know how to do the handwriting but can anyone point me in the right direction of a tutorial that might show me how to do the glitter and/or stars?? I have searched using google and altavista and haven’t come up with exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks much!!!
