(this question is also posted under Flash IDE - Sorry! Put it in the wrong category and did not know how to move it!)

I Want to create a similar mouse trail effect as found here:

[[COLOR=#003366]http://www.templatemonster.com/flash…tes/28980.html[/COLOR]](http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-cms-templates/28980.html)

In the above the user get a feeling of “drawing” in a (kind of) controlled combination of strokes and dots, randomizing in size, according to how fast they are moving their mouse around the screen - and their drawing stays there for longer.

I have already followed the tutorial posted here:  
[[COLOR=#003366]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/…\_flash\_pg1.htm[/COLOR]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/dynamic_mouse_trail_flash_pg1.htm)

But I do not know how to alter the script so its NOT JUST a colored smoke effect but actually feels more like the above!

Maybe someone know another tutorial? Please help…
