If anyone out there has knowledge on how to create a random continuous flow of movie clips, I would be so grateful for your input! The movie clips are actually pieces of text flowing from left to right across the stage at a very slow frame rate, with the text randomly changing position and size. Cheers!:hangover:

There is a continuous movement tutorial on this site. Use the search text area in the upper right corner and run a search for it.

thanks! I checked out the tutorial, although I need the mc’s to not have any interactivity with the user’s mouse, and with a smooth random scale & alpha for each mc. I’ve scoured the internet all day for solutions and tried implementing my own code but it’s not quite the effect in mind. Thanks again for all your input!=)

Well you can always just remove the scaling code from the script so it won’t scale :-\
