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
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) {
                IKS = this._xscale;
                JIJ = this._yscale;
        }
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        this._rotation += 1;
        if (this._y<0) {
                this._y = 110;
                this._xscale = IKS;
                this._yscale = JIJ;
                this._alpha = 50;
        } else {
        this._y -=2;
        this._xscale +=.5;
        this._yscale +=.5;
        this._alpha -=1;
        }
}
I haven’t seen smoke anywhere. But you have some nice examples all right…

thanks =)
gonna pick up that book you mentioned later this week and try to make a version with duplicatemovie… make it originate from one point… try try, well i surely will come back here to post results and very likely questions
but please feel free to have go… you, jeremy, anyone… different methods, maybe we can make a tut out of it

“teach me more actionscript!”
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
