I realy like this effect you see on the link i have below. The one on the main graphic with the lines randomly going back and forth. I have see it on numerous sites but i have no idea how to do that. If anyone can point me towards a tutorial or give me some advice on how to do it, i would realy apreciate it. thanks again guys.

For now I would suggest a search on “film scratches” same basic principle, or you could look for AS based movement…when I get home sometime tomorrow i can post a bit of script that will achieve that effect.

u could do that effect with tweens too, just draw some thin white lines…and move them around on the x-axis a bunch of times in random places, tween it, and put some easing on the frames…sorry bad at explanations.

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/random.htm) you could use that and delete all lines related to the y axis
or this one looks better [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/random\_motionMX.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/random_motionMX.htm)

actually if you’re using image lines, i’d recommend on keeping a _slight_ y-axis movement, so that the lines look a tad different each time…
