Never ever copy paste what I write. I made several mistakes, lacking ", ; and all kinds of things…

hi again,

no luck today (hence the unsolved rubics cube icon i chose)

guess i’ll pick up that flash math creativity book pom just mentioned and dive into it, i did a google search and found the site connected to the book, guess most of you know it but what beeeeautiful examples of!!

pom does the book have smoke?

[www.friendsofed.com/fmc/index.html](http://www.friendsofed.com/fmc/index.html)

anyway for for who is interested in the smoke, for beginners like me… i took one movieclip, attached the script, set the alpha, duplicated it about 20 times and tweaked their scale and rotation

## meesje

onClipEvent (load) {  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp IKS = this.\_xscale;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp JIJ = this.\_yscale;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp }

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_rotation += 1;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp if (this.\_y\<0) {  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_y = 110;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_xscale = IKS;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_yscale = JIJ;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_alpha = 50;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp } else {  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_y -=2;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_xscale +=.5;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_yscale +=.5;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp this.\_alpha -=1;  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp }  
}

If that’s just a problem of duplication, no need to buy the book (buy it anyway, it’s great). I think there’s a good example of what you want to do in the open source section, a fla by Thoriphes, about bubbles and all…

Awsome smoke… other than that ignore me, I quit smoking after 10 years. I haven’t had one for 24 days, 19 hours, and 55 minutes… not that all these posts are doing anything to me 🙂
