hi All,
Merry Christmas!
I am wondering if anyone knows or know of a tutorial I can learn from to set up a lava lamp toy using Flash MX’s new drawing API fucntions.
Could someone show me how or point me to an example?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link Voetsjoeba.
Would you or anyone in the forum know what ‘/:’ is about?

Above found in the script attached to the instance of ‘bottom’ in the Lamp mc.

I think it’s the Flash 4 syntax to say \_root. Weird :h:
